The engagement plan is still being formed and we hope to share more information on that soon. For now, thank you for participating and giving so many great ideas on how to reach people. This has been truly helpful in generating new ideas and understanding what options work for people.
Please share this email with your friends, neighbors, and colleagues about preferences on communications and engagement approaches for additional engagement on the UDC project. The last day to complete the survey will be Sunday, January 14th.
The next step of this project is to gather additional feedback from residents on the draft code. Before we develop the plan on how we'll gather input and start doing outreach, we want to know from you - what are YOUR preferences for communication channels and engagement techniques? Please help us shape how we implement this next communication and engagement effort and fill out the survey! It will remain open through the holidays and close on January 14th. Paper copies will be available for anyone to pick up and return to:
Thanks for your patience as we develop the next steps. We look forward to hearing your thoughts and hope we can design a process that our community feels good about. And as always, reach out if you have any questions or concerns!
Many residents have spoken up about wanting more time to give feedback on the Unified Development Code (UDC) draft and proposed zoning map, and we want to let you know that we hear you. On Monday, 10/16, Mayor Andrus announced at a press conference that she and the Commission have decided to hit pause on the timeline. Here's what you need to know:
The development code update is an important part of addressing issues in our community, like housing and growth. We hope all can join us in helping to improve our code and our community. Read more in the press release here: bit.ly/udcpress
You can provide your comments all the way through the public review process by writing to age...@bozeman.net, or attending any of the upcoming Community Development Board meetings and City Commission meetings in person or online! See the Key Dates section for upcoming meetings.
The project team will be at the Community Development Board meeting on Monday, September 18th at 6:00pm for a public hearing to present the draft development code and proposed zoning map, and schedule of future public hearings leading toward adoption of the new code. You can join remotely via the city website (External link), or in-person at City Hall, to learn more about the proposed development code and stay involved. Thank you!
The project team will be at the Community Development Board special meeting next Monday, September 11th at 6:00pm, to present the draft development code and zoning map, and schedule of future public hearings leading toward adoption of the new code. The project team will also be available to answer questions asked by the board.
In Phase 2 of the project the team will conduct engagement with stakeholders throughout Bozeman, including the general public, the development and design communities, and through several topic-focused work sessions with the City Commission. This engagement will inform proposed changes to the code.
The project's third phase involves the project team synthesizing public engagement received in Phase 2 with direction from the City Commission, to reorganize the existing UDC and draft new regulations as needed. This phase will end with a legal review of the updated UDC, a period for public review and comment on the draft changes to the UDC, and a final adoption-ready draft.
While conventional methods of zoning have traditionally focused on prohibiting incompatible uses, the new approach focuses on the physical design of a building as well as its use. As City Planning launches updates to its 35 Community Plans, new zoning will be developed to implement the policies and goals for the different neighborhoods across Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles City Council (City Council) at its meeting on May 3, 2023, voted unanimously to approve the Downtown Community Plan and the New Zoning Code with several amendments. Additionally, Council Districts 1-Hernandez, 9-Price, and 14-de Leon requested subsequent reports on a number of Plan topics including neighborhood level zoning and community benefits. Per direction by the City Council the requested reports were transmitted to the City Clerk (CF 22-0617- S1 through S6) in May and September, 2023.
Following City Council approval of the Plan and new Zoning Code, the implementing ordinances (including the new Zoning Code) will be reviewed and finalized by the City Attorney, to ensure clarity of regulations and consistency with state law. After this Form and Legality process is complete, the Plan and new Zoning Code will be brought into effect by the City Council. See Council File 22-0617 for more detail.
City Planning has included the changes recommended by CPC and on September 27, 2022 transmitted the resulting CPC Recommended Draft of the New Zoning Code to the City Council. The transmittal also includes an
Downtown (DTLA 2040) will be the first community plan area to apply the new zoning code. The draft Downtown zones can be viewed on the story map. On April 20, 2023 the City Planning Commission considered and recommended for approval the Proposed Boyle Heights Community Plan, including new zoning tools drafted for the Plan Area. On September 1, 2023, the proposed zoning for the Harbor LA Community Plans was released for public review.
After Boyle Heights and the Harbor, select neighborhoods in the Southeast and Southwest San Fernando Valley and the Westside will apply the new zoning framework now in development. For more information, see the new Zoning Code Fact Sheet:

The next major shift in Los Angeles's zoning structure was the adoption of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance in 1930, when the City created three main zones to regulate existing land uses (R = residential, C = Commercial, and M = Manufacturing), along with several sub-categories.
The number of ordinances regulating land use in Los Angeles eventually grew to 11, resulting in the adoption of a new ordinance in 1946 that consolidated the existing regulations. Over the next four decades, changes to the Zoning Code occurred incrementally.
To prepare for the first draft, city officials held an open house in August to get feedback about possible types of zoning districts, focusing on everything from improving residential quality of life to appropriate mixed-use development.
Zoning regulates how land may be used and establishes standards for development. The goals of the zoning code update are to improve the organization and format for a better user experience, to simplify the zoning framework to reduce the number of districts and nonconformities, and to place a higher emphasis on design standards, among other updates.
Residents and those interested in providing feedback on the draft are encouraged to do so through the PK4Keeps website. The project team will also be holding meetings with Common Council members to receive their input on the draft code. The city intends the release of this initial draft code and map to help facilitate community conversation regarding zoning and how it impacts how people live and do business in the City of Poughkeepsie.
Note: Fact Sheets are actively being updated to reflect the changes with newly passed Ordinance No. 20705. These fact sheets currently represent compliance and options provided in Eugene's first Middle Housing Ordinance No. 20667.
The Middle Housing Code Amendments implement House Bill 2001, legislation that requires large cities in Oregon, including Eugene, to allow middle housing (duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, rowhouses, and cottage clusters) to be built in all neighborhoods. This legislation is intended to increase our housing supply and allow for more housing types of all shapes and sizes in more places. The City Council held a public hearing for the original Middle Housing Code Amendments on April 18, 2022, followed by two work sessions on May 11, 2022 and May 18, 2022. On May 24, 2022, the City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 20667 to implement the Middle Housing Code Amendments.
City staff presented information to the City Council on this topic at a work session on January 10th, 2024. At this work session, staff provided information to the City Council regarding the remand of the 2022 Middle Housing Ordinance and discuss the updates provided in the draft Ordinance that address the remand issue. Following this, the Eugene City Council held a public hearing on February 20, 2024 for the Ordinance addressing the remand issue, which is summarized in the section below. The Ordinance included updated findings demonstrating compliance with Goal 11 included in Exhibit B to the proposed 2024 Remand Ordinance. The text of the 2024 Remand Ordinance is identical to the 2022 Middle Housing Ordinance except that the 2024 Remand Ordinance corrects scrivener errors in the 2022 Middle Housing Ordinance, incorporates updates to the land use code that have occurred since the 2022 Middle Housing Ordinance was adopted and updates the expedited land division criteria to ensure consistency with statutory requirements.
