Unified Development Code Committee Meeting

Meeting Date:

11/15/2023

Agenda Caption:

Present and discuss the Sign and Wireless Communication Facility (WCF) sections of the Unified Development Code (UDC).

Staff Report:

Beginning in Fiscal Year 2018, the City Council's Strategic Plan included a milestone to review Town ordinances and regulations to modernize them and facilitate redevelopment. To address this strategic need, the Town engaged Clarion Associates in June 2018, to review the Town’s current development regulations and to create a new Unified Development Code (UDC) shaped by a robust public review process. The UDC drafting and review process is comprised of four code drafting phases, a testing phase, and public review and adoption of the consolidated UDC document. The four code drafting phases are:

Zoning Districts and Uses
Development and Design Standards
Signs and Wireless Communication Facilities
Administration and Procedures

Due to staffing issues and competing priorities, the project has been dormant since the last UDC Advisory Committee meeting in August, 2022. With those issues resolved, review of Signs and Communication Facilities has been initiated. In addition to facilitating this advisory committee meeting on the 15th, the project team has released the public draft for review.

Members of the public may send comments to the project team by emailing udc@addisontx.gov for consideration through December 31, 2023. Remaining phases and review of the complete UDC document will be carried out in accordance with the below schedule:

	Finish
Signs and Wireless Communication Facilities	Q1 2024
Administration and Procedures	Q1 2024
Prepare and Review Consolidated Draft UDC	Q3 2024
Final UDC Presentation and Adoption	Q3 2024

After the new year, the project team will address the Administration and Procedures section of the UDC. Feedback received throughout the drafting process will be analyzed and used to prepare the consolidated draft UDC. With the presentation of that draft, the project team will consolidate and present the feedback shared via the Konveio commenting platform.

Recommendation:

Staff requests feedback from the Committee.
