Staff outlines UDC rewrite process; commissioners told the update may be a repeal‑and‑replace
Summary
Development Services staff told the Planning and Zoning Commission they are consolidating multiple UDC chapter edits into a single draft and that legal advised the scope may require a repeal‑and‑replace rather than incremental amendments; a work session is planned for early June.
Development Services staff updated the commission on the Unified Development Code (UDC) rewrite and upcoming schedule, saying the public‑facing version currently in use is the March 2024 edition and that staff are merging multiple chapter edits submitted by the UDC subcommittee.
The director said legal counsel advised the cumulative scope of the proposed edits could be so broad that the city may need to repeal and replace the existing UDC rather than amend it chapter by chapter. Staff reported the consolidated draft would be provided to commissioners in advance and invited commissioners to a work session (noted for June 9 check‑in and additional follow‑up) to review edits and recommend next steps. The director described difficulties in tracking multiple saved versions and asked commissioners to use the public March 2024 PDF as the baseline for review. Staff emphasized it will be incumbent on staff to compile input into a single draft for council consideration later in the summer.
