The full story

Staff updated the Planning & Zoning Commission on several administrative and land-use matters. The town received a DOLA (Department of Local Affairs) local planning capacity grant to hire a code consultant to analyze the Unified Development Code (UDC) and recommend amendments to make affordable housing development easier. Staff said four responses were returned to the consultant RFP and asked for up to two commissioners (including the new chair) to review proposals and participate in interviews in the coming weeks.
