Overview: Tonight, we ask the Council to consider amendments the Land Use Management Ordinance Rewrite Project Charter that will revise the schedule, deliverables, and budget for the Project. 

 

Since the Project Charter was adopted in November of 2017, in order to be responsive to the Council and the community, the scope of the LUMO Rewrite Project (Charting Our Future) has expanded. 

 

Recommendation(s):

That the Council adopt the Resolution amending the Land Use Management Ordinance Rewrite Project Charter (Option 3) to extend the Project schedule, to acknowledge the expansion of the Future Land Use Map phase of the Project, and to change the scope for rewriting the Land Use Management Ordinance to include additional visioning for each Focus Area and options for implementing Town goals.

 

Decision Points:

                     Is it appropriate to increase the scope for rewriting the Land Use Management Ordinance?  If so, what should be the extent of the scope expansion? 

                     Should the rewrite be expanded to include intentional visioning for each Focus Area?  Or, is it more appropriate to limit the scope of the rewrite to an analysis of the Ordinance’s deficiencies? 

Fiscal Impact/Resources: All options for rewriting the Land Use Management Ordinance require additional funding (as explained more fully in the Staff Memorandum).  The rewrite will span multiple fiscal years, so these additional funds can be spread over several fiscal years.  An estimate of the necessary additional funds are listed below by option.  If Council wishes to move forward with the additional funds detailed below, these additional funds will need to be discussed and allocated during each fiscal years’ budget process.
