practitioners from the private field that does not include Durham
City-County staff.)

entrance on W Club)

translation services, please email dave.olverson at tndpartners.com.


*Please Note:* The information found under this section of *Applicant
Sponsored Meetings* is provided only as an additional form of notice and is
not a requirement of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The Planning
Department shares meeting information provided by applicants as a courtesy
only.  As such, if a meeting is not listed here due to an oversight on the
part of the applicant or the Planning Department, the meeting can still be
held as long as all UDO mailed notice requirements were met per UDO Section
3.2.3, https://durham.municipal.codes/UDO/3.2.3.



Amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO)


There are two pending text amendments to the UDO that are still in process
and that have not yet been scheduled for Planning Commission or Governing
Body review at this time, they are listed below:

   - *Planning Commission-Initiated Text Amendment* is centered around the
   ways in which development can connect people: connections between streets,
   people, bicycles, and other forms of mobility
   - *Privately-Initiated Text Amendment *is centered around simplifying
   the ordinance to allow for more affordable development to be built
   in Durham. This was developed and submitted by a group of practitioners
   from the private field that does not include staff.

Ordinance, or would like to comment on upcoming amendments, you can find

Durham’s New Comprehensive Plan Update

Durham is working on a new Comprehensive Plan, a long-range vision for our
community! The Comprehensive Plan decides what can be built where in
Durham.

*Thank you for your input on draft Comprehensive Plan policies!*

The first engagement on draft policies that ran from late April through the
end of June is now closed. Thank you to all the residents and staff who
helped draft these policies, engaged residents on these drafts, and
provided input on how to improve the draft policies!  Over the next couple
months, staff will be reviewing all the input received and working to make
the final draft policies better align with resident perspectives,
priorities, and with the adopted Community Goals and Objectives. Staff will
also be drafting an engagement summary that shares how we engaged and who
we heard from. The engagement summary will be published along with a full
de-identified version of all the input we received during this phase.

*More input opportunities will be coming!*

This recent engagement phase is not the end of opportunities for the
community to review and provide feedback on the draft plan components. We
will continue to take feedback and to incorporate feedback as we revise the
draft policies this summer. In the fall we will release a draft of the full
plan and will again seek feedback and incorporate revisions before the plan
is brought to our elected officials for adoption. Residents will continue
to have opportunities to review, ask questions, get answers, and provide
comments up to and through the adoption process. We anticipate the adoption
process will begin this winter (late 2022 or early 2023).

If you have feedback or questions, please feel free to contact
