Unified Development Code (UDC)

Overview

Luis NunezKendig Keast CollaborativeAugust 1, 2017

V I N T O N , T XUDC Priorities Implement the 2017 Comprehensive Plan Goals and Objectives

Provide a code that is clear and understandable

Modernize design standards

Spell out and streamline all development processes

Anticipate development issues before growth arrives

Create right size regulations for staff administration

Ensure that developers pay their fair share of development costs

Every regulation must be based on Vinton’s Planning Vision

V I N T O N , T XUDC OrganizationThe UDC is organized to answer the following questions:

1. What is my property zoned?

2. What uses are permitted?

3. What uses require Commission and Council action?

4. What building design standards are required?

5. How do I subdivide property?

6. What are the site plan and sign requirements?

7. What are the development processes?

8. From whom do I receive approval?

9. How are terms defined?

Zoning

Administration

Subdivision/Site Development

V I N T O N , T X

Zoning Maintained the existing district structure to avoid:

- Creating nonconforming uses; and

- The need for rezoning upon UDC adoption

Created a Planned Development option to encourage design innovation.

Created a Public Institutional district

Renamed the EED district to Town Center (TC).

Renamed the M-1 district as Business Park to distinguish it from the M-2 district.

V I N T O N , T X

“Simplified” PD ProcessThe UDC includes a Planned Development process that only requires site planapproval, by ordinance, based on specific standards codified in the UDC. This will:

Allow innovative development with a minimum amount of process;

Allow flexibility for challenging sites (i.e., near arroyos);

Create more predictability and reduce developer risk;

Still require public hearings and public input;

Allow staff approval of minor amendments, subject to tight criteria, and all other amendments by the Commission and Council; and

Simplify developer adjustments to market changes (i.e., market flexibility).

V I N T O N , T X

Potential Result . . . . . A developer could propose a cluster development that avoids a hazard, provides more usable common space, and maximizes the use of a difficult site (i.e., arroyo).

V I N T O N , T XPlanned Development Example:Example 1. Tree preservation depends on each owner. Only 6 lots have water access. The road will likely be a cut-through. Example 2. Similar to Example 1, with stream access for all owners and some common open space and tree preservation. Example 3. The hazard is avoided, tree and open space preservation are maximized, and the street is a less desirable short cut.

The density of each of the three examples is the same, but each is unique, but only Example 3 requires a PD.Example 1 Example 2 Example3

Standardized Procedures

UDC creates standardized procedures to:Eliminate procedural ambiguity;

Specify what must be submitted to begin Village review;

Itemize all details of the plan review process;

Specify when public notice is required;

Detail the public hearing process and the actions that may be taken; and

Allow reimbursement for expenses incurred in the review of any UDC application, such as TIA review or legal fees.

V I N T O N , T X

ApplicationsEach application is described in detail with the technical requirements for

each.

The review process for each is spelled out, as is action by the Commission, Council, and staff.
