Nate Baker gave an overview of the results so far about the <span style="font-weight: 700;">
rewrite of the Unified Development Ordinance </span>(UDO). It’s common to do a comprehensive rewrite every 10-15 years. The current one is complicated to understand and to navigate; furthermore, it isn’t resulting in the kinds of outcomes we want to achieve,
as embodied in the Comprehensive Plan. The consultant gave a presentation to the Joint City County Planning Commission, showing the gaps are between what we want (from the Comprehensive Plan) and what the current UDO says. They provided an outline for the
new UDO, but, it really is lacking in detail. There was also market analysis of lot sizing and thoughts about consolidating districts to allow a lot more density. There is also a separate consultant for community engagement, but she did not make a presentation.
Mimi Kessler suggested that the group who analyzed SCAD be revived to look at this work more closely and report back in June. </div>
