RE: Advisory Opinion to the City Council— UDO Text Amendment Article 20 Enforcement
Dear Mayor and Commissioners,
Pursuant to City Council action on May 7, 2024 requesting an advisory opinion from the Planning Board,
this board reviewed the proposed text amendment to the UDO to amend Article 20 Enforcement.
Per the UDO, the Planning Board recommendation and the City Council decision on any Zoning Text
Amendment must consider the following standards (13.15 E.2):
a. The consistency of the proposed amendment with the Comprehensive Plan and whether the
proposed amendment provides a more workable way to achieve the intent and purposes of this
Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
b. The consistency of the proposed amendment with the intent and general regulations of this
Ordinance.
c. The extent to which the proposed amendment promotes the public health, safety, and welfare of
the City.
d. Whether the proposed amendment corrects an error or omission, adds clarification to existing
requirements, or reflects a change in policy.
e. The extent to which the proposed amendment creates nonconformities.
The Planning Board considered the proposed text amendment at the June 27, 2024 meeting and issued a
favorable advisory opinion by 5-0 vote.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Charles Marshall
Chair
