LDO Module 3 – Administration and Procedures Public Draft Now Available for Review and Comment!
The Town is pleased to announce the third and final installment of the Land Development Ordinance (LDO) Modernization Project, Module 3 – Administration and Procedures, has been completed and is now available for public review and comment through January 31, 2023. Public comments can be added to the ‘Comments & Ideas’ tab, or emailed directly to the Project Managers. The Module 3 – Administration and Procedures draft document can be found in the ‘Document Library’ on this project page. In addition, the PowerPoint presentations from the Town Council and Planning Commission study sessions held October 10, 2022 and October 13, 2022, respectively, are also posted for viewing.
The Community Development Department’s Planning Division, along with project consultant Clarion Associates, continue to work on this comprehensive update of the LDO. The LDO, Title 13 of the Parker Municipal Code, governs land use and development within the Town. Its purpose is to preserve and promote the public health, safety and general welfare of the community. It is one of the most important tools to implement the vision and goals of the Parker 2035 Master Plan, including guiding growth and development in the Town of Parker.
This third installment, Module 3- Administration and Procedures, includes the following chapters:
• Chapter 13.01: General Provisions
• Chapter 13.02: Rules of Language Construction and Definitions (definitions continued)
• Chapter 13.03: Administration and Procedures
The proposed changes in this public draft build on the previous work in phase 1 of this project which included community and stakeholder outreach and meetings, resulting in the LDO Diagnostic Report, Annotated Outline and Project Charter that has informed the project. These documents can also be found in the ‘Document Library’ on this project page.
The public drafts of the first installment, Module 1 – Zoning Districts & Uses, and Module 2 – Development Standards, have been completed and are also posted here in the Document Library for reference along with all meeting presentations.
Next Steps – Comments received on Module 3 will help inform the final Consolidated Draft. The Consolidated Draft will include all three modules, represent the new Land Development Ordinance, and is anticipated to be posted for public review and comment in the first quarter of 2023. Following completion of the Consolidated Draft, adoption of the new LDO is slated for summer/fall of 2023.
