Application of Final Draft of UDO Under Consideration Thursday

SARATOGA SPRINGS — At City Hall on July 29, the Planning Board is considering an advisory opinion to the City Council on the final draft of the Unified Development Ordinance.

A Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) is a tool which combines traditional zoning and subdivision regulations, along with other development standards for items such as design guidelines, storm water management, signs and street standards into one, easy-to-read reference document. It is intended to eliminate redundant or conflicting code provisions, help to streamline the review and approval process and clarify the steps and requirements with clear illustrations and language. 

The meeting takes place at 7 p.m.
