Mayor introduces UDO amendment proposing changes to land‑use review and historic designation rules
Summary
Mayor Safford introduced a draft amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) that would streamline land‑use review procedures, strengthen local landmark and historic district provisions, add an architectural district standard, and create a hardship appeal procedure; the draft is posted online for public review.
Mayor Safford told the council he had introduced a UDO amendment in April and that an updated draft and a Read Me file are posted on the city's website for public review.
"These proposed changes will fix procedural roadblocks in Land Use Review, strengthen the provisions for designating local landmarks and historic districts, distinguish the review and approval standards for the architectural district, add a hardship appeal procedure, and improve expectations for applicants," the mayor said.
No public hearing occurred at the meeting and no substantive debate or vote on the UDO amendment took place; Safford indicated materials are available online for review. The council did not set a date for a public hearing during the meeting transcript.
