Building our Future Together - Development Code Update
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
This project is all about implementing the vision and goals established in our city’s guiding documents such as the 2020 Community Plan (aka Growth Policy), the Climate Plan, andstrategic priorities like affordable housing.
These broad visions, goals, and priorities are implemented through the Unified Development Code or “UDC” or “the code.” The UDC sets forth regulations around what kinds of development can occur in which areas through development standards and zoning districts.
The goal for this engagement effort is to consult the community on how to improve usability of the UDC and how the regulations in the UDC can help us accommodate growth while meeting community goals in our Community Plan, Climate Plan and others.
Throughout the project residents, developers, builders, and the community at large will be consulted on specific topics relevant to how different people interact with the code.Specific focus areas will be:
Formatting, organization of the UDC
Zoning Districts
Sustainability
Parking
Park Standards
Transportation
This project page will be the place to go for updates on how to engage in person, virtually, or on your own time. You can subscribe to email updates specific to this project by clicking “Follow Project” on the right hand side of this page. We're glad you're here!
Learn more and provide your feedback here!
As we work to update the UDC, we are soliciting feedback from the public on a variety of topics this project will address. At the link below you can explore these topics and leave your thoughts by completing surveys. We look forward to hearing what you have to say!
