Planning commission schedules UDO workshop as adoption vote approaches
Summary
Commissioners set an August 6 workshop to review the new Unified Development Ordinance ahead of an August 18 meeting where the commission will vote on its UDO recommendation; members raised concerns about the timing relative to an impact‑fee study and the moratorium timeline.
The Lancaster County Planning Commission agreed to a workshop on August 6 to review sections of the new Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) that have been finalized, as commissioners prepare to vote on an adoption recommendation later in August.
Commissioners said the UDO consultant is expected to provide a revised draft in late July; members asked for a focused workshop to walk through major changes so the commission can be prepared to vote on a recommendation at the August 18 meeting. One member urged coordination with the impact‑fee study and asked whether the consultant could meet before the moratorium extension ends; staff said the impact‑fee work is slated for a September presentation to allow time to coordinate schedules.
Commissioners expressed frustration with scheduling and staffing constraints but agreed that a shorter workshop on August 6 would give them a baseline for the August deliberations. Staff said the UDO will be posted online and commissioners will be notified when the consultant’s link is available.
