Working Group asks planning commission to explore Unified Development District zoning
Summary
The working group voted to recommend that the planning commission study a Unified Development District (UDD) zoning approach to simplify and unify several master-plan zoning categories, aiming to give developers clearer, master-plan-based rules for mixed-use projects.
Staff explained the UDD concept as a single unified zoning district that would replace multiple plan-development districts and require a general development/master plan tied to allowed uses. Supporters said a UDD could simplify application pathways and make expectations clearer for developers; critics warned that too-broad permitted uses could undercut targeted control and the economic-priority vision advanced by Roxanne.
After discussion, the group voted to recommend that the planning commission explore establishing a UDD designation and to have staff and the planning commission analyze how it would interact with the economic-opportunity designation and master-plan requirements. "It's just a little bit of a simplification of taking, you know, these 7 districts and making it 1," S2 said while explaining the intent.
