SUBJECT:
Discussion regarding possible UDC amendments to be added to the General Amendments List for the
2014-2015 review period.
ITEM SUMMARY:
The new UDC amendment process sets out that the General Amendments List will be reviewed and
adopted by City Council every two years, after review and consideration by the UDC Advisory
Committee. The primary responsibility of the Committee is to review and make recommendations
regarding UDC amendments included as part of the General Amendments List. This item today starts the
process of composing and considering a new UDC General Amendments List that the Committee will
work from for the next two years.
Staff is currently in the process of working with City departments to create a list of items in the UDC that
need to either be replaced or updated due to difficulties with the language or outdated provisions. Some of
these may be determined by City Council to need to be on a different time frame, such as designated
emergency items. Also, there are some revisions that may need to be taken as an Executive Amendment
that is not reviewed by the Committee, for example any amendments that may be necessary in relation to
the recently adopted Water Conservation Ordinance. Examples of some of these potential amendments
staff is considering so far include:
Updates to coincide with the new UDC amendment process
Implement directives of the pending Overall Transportation Plan Update
Any updates as may be necessary related to the Salamander ordinance
Provisions related to Certificates of Design Compliance
The goal today is to gather input from both the public and the Committee regarding potential
amendments. Please be prepared to discuss any aspects of the UDC you may feel need consideration.
