Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text Amendments - To review government- <br /> initiated amendments to the text of Article 3 of the UDO to revise various Dimensional and Ratio <br /> Standards in commercial and industrial zoning districts if the district is applied to property located <br /> in Commercial or Commercial-Industrial Transition Activity Nodes, as depicted on the Future <br /> Land Use Map contained in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. <br /> Planner Perdita Holtz made a PowerPoint presentation. <br /> Unified Development Ordinance <br /> Proposed Text Amendments <br /> (UDO/Zoning 2012-11) <br /> Task <br /> Propose amendments to the UDO that will allow for a greater intensity of property use in the <br /> Commercial and Commercial-Industrial Transition Activity Nodes. <br /> - Existing ratios developed for areas that are not served by public water <br /> and sewer systems and which are intended to remain rural. <br /> Proposal <br /> - This proposal is similar to the revisions made to the Economic <br /> Development (ED) zoning districts earlier this year and to the 0/1 district <br /> last year. <br /> - Proposed ratios and height limits for the zoning districts applicable to <br /> CTAN and CITAN areas are in keeping with similar ED zoning districts. <br /> ➢ Would allow for greater floor area (e.g., building with more square <br /> feet) and less "open space" in Nodes. <br /> - Other requirements of the UDO, including impervious surface limits, still <br /> apply. <br />
