The Planning and Transportation Department is initiating the Public Hearing process of the final step in the update to the Unified Development Ordinance and Official Zoning Map. A Public Outreach Draft was released in October 2020, and public comment on that draft has been taken since that time. All documents related to that process can be found here. Based on the feedback received during that process, the Department has prepared a proposal containing a Public Hearings Draft Zoning Map and Draft Text Amendments for review by the public, Plan Commission, and Common Council. The proposal is intended to further align the Official Zoning Map and the Unified Development Ordinance with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
This webpage is intended to provide information about the proposal, as well as information about the public hearings where it will be discussed.
