Raleigh Public Record (https://theraleighcommons.org/raleighpublicrecord/tag/udo/page/8/)
The city released its review draft of the unified development ordinance aka zoning code Wednesday. Join us as we read through the entire document over the next eight weeks and try to understand what’s in the laws that will govern development in Raleigh for decades.
Raleigh City Planning Manager Christine Darges is responsible for overseeing the team that has been updating, revising and publicizing the new Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The first draft of the UDO will be released April 6. The Record chatted with Darges to break down the confusing UDO and find out how will it affect Raleigh denizens.
The advisory group working to craft a new comprehensive zoning code wants more time to finish their work. The group’s chair this week asked for additional time so the public could digest the document, but the Raleigh City Council denied the request.
A document outlining the city’s vision for future development will be ready for public comment in April. The council also clarified its “Percent for Art” ordinance to include major streetscape projects.
