Title
An Ordinance to recodify and reformat the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) AMENDMENT #69, #PL2018-106, City of Lee’s Summit, applicant.
(Note: First Reading by City Council on August 23, 2018. Passed by unanimous vote.)
Body
Background:
The UDO is referenced in Chapter 33 of City Code. It is maintained and displayed in separate documents and websites. The rest of the City’s Code of Ordinances are stored and maintained by Municode, a third party company. If approved, the UDO in its entirety would reside in Chapter 33 of the City Code. Municode will integrate the UDO into the online City Code and provide physical copies for staff. The code will be searchable and individual sections can easily be printed or linked. Staff worked with Municode since November of 2017 to place the UDO into their system. This effort is nearing completion and a complete proof set has been provided. Staff reorganized the UDO to accommodate how a customer would seek answers about their property or how to locate a use in the City. Chapters are ordered to go from high level concerns such as location down to site development standards and platting procedure.
Proposed City Council Motion:
I move for adoption of an Ordinance to recodify and reformat the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) AMENDMENT #69, #PL2018-106, City of Lee’s Summit, applicant.
Presenter
Josh Johnson, AICP Assistant Director of Plan Services
