Consultants present updated Unified Development Ordinance draft to Planning Commission
Summary
Consultants with Whitmith Kuseno reviewed the history and structure of the Unified Development Ordinance update (public review draft dated Sept. 30, 2025), summarized a multi‑year process and noted an ad hoc committee has been meeting to refine the draft; commissioners will review proposed changes as staff and consultants present them.
Consultants from Whitmith Kuseno briefed the Lancaster County Planning Commission on the draft Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) on Aug. 18, summarizing five years of work and the committee process that shaped the current draft.
Principal Kelly Kuseno told the commission the project began in fall 2021, proceeded in modular drafting and culminated in a public review draft dated Sept. 30, 2025. Kuseno said an ad hoc UDO committee — which included a planning commission representative and several county council members — met frequently to review the draft page by page. Consultants said they would present major changes and highlight feedback the committee had provided.
The presentation framed the UDO as modular (zoning districts and uses, development standards, administration) and noted the committee’s detailed review between November and July. Commissioners took a brief recess before the UDO discussion and the consultants prepared to walk through principal changes and public‑feedback themes.
