Greetings,
YOU ARE INVITED TO ATTEND A PUBLIC MEETING ON THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC) TO ALLOW FOR THE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REZONING PROCESSES TO RUN CONCURRENTLY. Currently, The City of Tucson Planning and Development Services Department (PDSD) are seeking feedback regarding a proposal to allow for amendments to the City’s area and neighborhood plans to run concurrently with rezoning processes. This amendment would change the existing policy of requiring Mayor and Council to approve a plan amendment prior to beginning the Rezoning process.
At this Public Meeting, PDSD staff will give a presentation to help everyone understand the existing process, what options may exist for the concurrent process, and then facilitate a discussion for participants to share their opinions, observations and suggestions regarding proposed concurrent plan amendment and rezoning text amendment. This feedback will be essential to staff’s review of this issue and what will ultimately be presented to the Planning Commission and Mayor and Council.
