Council advances UDO text amendment clarifying county road-acceptance criteria
Summary
Council approved first reading of a text amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance clarifying criteria for acceptance of roads into the county system, including demonstration that roads are built to county standards and are collector-class or higher.
Lancaster County Council considered and advanced a UDO text amendment that formalizes criteria and procedures for the county to accept roads into the county road system.
Planning staff explained the amendment establishes that roads offered for acceptance must meet county construction standards and be at least a collector road. The text amendment was written with consultant and legal review and is intended to carry forward into the new UDO or be modified if the new code requires different language. The planning commission recommended approval by a 5–1 vote and staff recommended approval as well; council approved the item on roll call.
