TITLE
The Mayor and City Council shall hear a presentation update on the Subdivision and Zoning Code Update per the Council approved Work Plan 2016-17, Implementation Plan.
AGENDA ITEM DESCRIPTION
Per the City Council approved FY17 -18 budget and Work Plan 2017-18, the Subdivision Ordinance and Zoning Code Updates were on the list of work to be implemented by the Development Services Department.
The first phase of the Scope of Work includes the Subdivision Ordinance Update. It is an 11-year-old document with only one minor text amendment since its adoption in 2006. With the City Council recently approved Zoning Code (2014) and the General Plan (2016), the subdivision ordinance is due for a major update for consistency purposes. It is vital to review the code and modify as needed to continue with current industry standards and procedures, and also implement the goals and objectives of the city’s Planning Maricopa and 2040 Vision adopted documents.
The second phase includes the Zoning Code, which is included as a minor update. Adopted in 2014, staff has found several code sections that require slight text modifications. The intent is not to overhaul the zoning code; instead, it is expected to have a few modifications to implement the code correctly.
Jessica Sarkissian, consultant with the Planning Center will be updating the Mayor and City Council on the current progress.
Senior Planner, Rodolfo Lopez and Jessica Sarkissian with the Planning Center will be presenting this item.
