EXHIBIT C <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PRIORITY 8: <br />UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE <br />Unified Development Code:A Unified Development Code (UDC) incorporates multiple wide-ranging <br />regulatory provisions intoa single ordinance. They became popular in the early 1990s with the premise <br />that the development community would knowwhich legal document to refer to forvirtually all <br />development-related processes. If implemented, this would require a full passage and recodification of <br />the ordinances applicable and a review of the organizationstructure/format of each. An all-in-one <br />document such as a UDC must also have a good table of contents or the applicants will expend an <br />inordinate amount of time just trying to find the element they are seeking. <br />With the advent of modern technology web pages and access to information, the need for a UDC can be <br />achieved in different and perhaps more customer friendly ways.We are in process of updating our <br />department web page to accommodate some of the recommendations in the Planning Audit. One option <br />would be to include a master listing of the codes (as you would find in a UDC) with each element having <br />a direct link to the requirements and processes of each code. It would be prominently placed on the <br />Home Page of the department and perhaps called the Unified Listing of Development Codes. <br /> <br />
