SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
This is an amendment to a portion of the current UDC as it relates to Planned Developments (PD). Currently, the UDC restricts the sections of the UDC that may be modified by a PD to Chapter 3: Use Regulations; Chapter 4: Dimensional Standards; Chapter 5, Section 5.4: Layout and Design of Subdivisions; and, Chapter 6: Development and Design Standards. The UDC amendment would allow modification by PD to any section of the UDC. The amendment is proposed to accommodate the implementation of PD regulations for the Erie Town Center where DPZ is recommending modification of review processes in Chapter 7.
