Staff outlines schedule to codify North Logan general plan and prepare city‑center form‑based code
Summary
City staff described a stepwise code‑update schedule to align zoning and land‑use regulations with the recently revised general plan and said a joint Planning Commission–City Council work session on April 24 will introduce a form‑based code for the city center master plan.
Scott (city planning staff) updated the council on progress toward finalizing the general plan and implementing the city‑center master plan through text amendments and a form‑based code.
Staff said they circulated updated drafts that incorporate owner‑occupied language and are finalizing document formatting for public distribution. The planning staff has prepared a schedule to sequentially review and amend land‑use code sections (Title 12) to match the general plan policy language, starting with general provisions and then moving into zoning classifications; staff emphasized the need to update definitions and adjust code cross‑references rather than present the entire code alteration at once.
For the city center master plan, staff said consultants are drafting a form‑based code to implement the plan’s design vision and that a joint Planning Commission–City Council work session is scheduled for April 24 to introduce the concept. The work session will present how form‑based codes operate and what policy decisions the council will eventually need to make to adopt the code.
Staff said the code update process is designed to be methodical and iterative; the planning commission will review sections in work sessions and hold public hearings before a final ordinance is presented to the council. No final zoning changes or ordinances were adopted at this meeting.
