The city is updating the Land Development Code (LDC) which contains the rules for development and re-development. The city has contracted with the consulting team Clarion Associates to overhaul the 20-year-old code.

The Council will ultimately consider adoption of the updated LDC at a hearing currently scheduled for Wednesday, November 14 at 3:00 p.m.
