Public Meeting to Discuss proposed Changes in the UDC
Not sure what that is, or why you should want to know?
The Unified Development Code contains the rules and regulations that give us the City we want to have in the future.
The UDC regulations apply all across the City affecting every neighborhood, home, and every business. The significant proposed changes in these regulations will change what uses are allowed and the urban design for how they can be built.
Come and learn how the proposed changes might affect you!
