MEMORANDCIM
TO: Planning & Zoning Commission, Mayor, and City Council
FROM: Sonya Wafters, Associate City Planner
CC: City Clerk
RE: Unified Development Code Text Amendment
This memo is intended to explain and outline the fifth request by City Staff to amend the
City's Unified Development Code (UDC). Since its implementation on Septernber 15,
2005, Staff has requested four other amendments to the UDC. Staff continually tracks
specific sections of the UDC that need to be amended in order for the UDC to function
efficiently. Some of these sections proposed for amendment include definitions, allowed
uses, standards in the Old Town district, bikeways, sidewalks and parkways, parking and
drive aisle standards, temporary use requirements, private street requirements, common
open space and site amenity requirements, specific use standards, public hearing process,
term of permits, alternative compliance, conditional uses, comprehensive plan
amendments, and administrative design review.
In summary, the changes proposed in this application represent changes that City Staff
believes will make the implementation and use of the UDC more understandable and
enforceable. Planning Department Staff is proposing to amend certain UDC sections as
follows: Please see comments on right, for Staff's explanation of the proposed change
