Council directs staff to prioritize parkland fees and select code items ahead of unified development code
Summary
Council discussed whether to address interim development regulations before the unified development code; members signaled support for moving parkland dedication now and prioritizing additional items (packet items 3, 10, 11, 15, 17) for earlier review with P&Z involvement.
Staff updated council on a list of development-standards items that could be addressed before the broader unified development code (UDC) is completed. The packet listed numerous code topics; staff said the UDC process is expected to finish in roughly a year, but some council members requested certain items not wait that long. Multiple council members asked staff to prioritize parkland-dedication changes now and additional items flagged in the packet (identified by council as items 3, 10, 11, 15 and 17) for earlier review and potential P&Z consideration.
Council discussed administrative practicality, enforcement and whether piecemeal amendments would undermine the efficiency of the UDC process. Staff said items that come from P&Z could proceed through that body and return to council for adoption; legal and staff resources for piecemeal drafting would not be covered by the UDC grant and would require city-funded legal work. Council provided direction to staff to bring forward the parkland item and the named packet items for more immediate attention.
