Commission presses for editable UDC files, schedules work session to continue rewrite
Summary
The commission criticized the format and editability of the draft UDC, asked staff to provide an editable Word document with tracked changes, and penciled a dedicated work session for June 9 to coordinate review and edits.
Commissioners spent a substantial portion of the meeting on the city's Unified Development Code rewrite. Chair Hudson said the materials the commission received were difficult to edit in the provided PDF format and urged the city to distribute an editable Word file with tracked changes.
"What we got was garbage," Chair Hudson said of the consultant‑produced PDF, adding that staff and the commission need a document they can annotate and track. Commissioners discussed whether to aim for a June final draft or to push the schedule to July or August; several members said they wanted more time to produce meaningful redlines.
To keep the process moving, the commission agreed to tentatively schedule a UDC work session for June 9 at 6:00 PM for initial edits and asked staff to invite any incoming appointees to observe. The chair offered to press council for any interim appointments so new members can shadow the review.
