WHAT: The Planning Staff is bringing back the final six (6) deferred items
for discussion -- comments from the Technical Review Group, additions to
residential dwelling units on small lots, the backyard cottage, resource
extraction, surety bonds and adequate public facilities.
Any outstanding concerns need to be communicated to the City Council
immediately. The final approval of the UDO could happen today, but more
realistically over the next two weeks.
WHEN: Monday, February 11 at 4:00 pm.
WHERE: 222 West Hargett Street, City Council Chamber.
LIKELY HOT TOPICS:
* Backyard Cottage: The Comprehensive Planning Committee is bringing
back its recommendation. An "opt-in" approach is being proposed.
* Adequate Public Facilities: The Comprehensive Planning Committee is
bringing back its recommendation. The proposal requires a more comprehensive
assessment of capacity before allowing new development to happen.
DEFERRED ITEMS:
None.

WHAT: The Planning Staff is bringing back four (4) deferred items for
discussion -- requirements for amenity open spaces, case studies, comments
from the Technical Review Group and additions to residential dwelling units
on small lots.
SPECIAL NOTE: The Comprehensive Planning Committee will present its
recommendations for the backyard cottage at the February 5 City Council
meeting.
WHEN: Monday, February 4 at 4:00 pm.
WHERE: 222 West Hargett Street, City Council Chamber.
LIKELY HOT TOPICS:
* Case Studies: Testing the new regulations to ensure they work as
intended is no easy task, yet City Council is devoting very little time to
this activity
DEFERRED ITEMS:
* Additional Housing Patterns. The discussion about backyard cottages,
accessory apartments and cottage courts has been moved to the Comprehensive
Planning Committee. This will give the public the opportunity to make
comments.
* Resource Extraction: City Council asked the Planning Staff to
analyze this use by district and review the process for permitting this use.
* Process for Adopting UDO: City Council has requested staff to draft
the ordinance for the adoption of the UDO. This will identify the adoption
date, effective date and all transitional rules.
