Municipal Code Updates

A Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) consolidates planning and development tools into a single document, streamlining processes and aligning ordinances with a community’s Comprehensive Plan. This approach simplifies project design, review, and permitting by eliminating repetitive variance requests and ensuring ordinances are appropriately tailored to the needs of districts. While creating a UDO alongside a Comprehensive Plan update is a significant undertaking, the benefits include an organized, future-focused plan that supports long-term community goals, enhances efficiency, and strengthens the local economy.
