Planning staff reports surge in permits, UDO revision under way
Summary
Planning staff told the commission the office issued 130 permits in July (559 year‑to‑date), completed 955 inspections, and has begun a Unified Development Ordinance revision; the McKinley Overlay District previously approved by council was vetoed and is being revised.
Planning staff delivered a monthly director's report noting increased activity across permitting and inspections. "Our office has issued during the month of July, we issued 130 permits, which brings a year to date total of 559 permits," staff reported, and said there have been 955 inspections year to date and 80 plan reviews completed by staff.
Staff said the Unified Development Ordinance revision began in early July and encouraged commissioners to suggest stakeholders for advisory committees; the office is also seeking grants to help cover the local match for that revision process. Staff updated the commission on the McKinley Overlay District: City Council initially approved the proposal but the acting mayor vetoed it over legal‑language questions; the city and neighborhood group are working to resolve differences and a revised submission is expected to return to this board.
