Public Meeting On Proposed Ordinance Revisions

The Williston City Planning Department will host a public meeting on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Williston Public Library meeting room to discuss proposed revisions to the city’s zoning and subdivision ordinances. 

The revisions of the zoning and subdivision ordinances are proposed to address changes in planning  and development practices since those ordinances were originally adopted in the 1980s.  The format of the ordinances will also be updated. The revised zoning and subdivision ordinances will be combined into a single document known as the Unified Development Code, or UDC. 

The UDC project is being managed by the Williston City Planning Department, working with its consultants, RDG Planning and Design.  The October 15 public meeting is to provide more detailed information about the UDC process and proposed revisions as well as to provide an opportunity for community recommendations or comments regarding the zoning and subdivision ordinances.  The October 15 public meeting is the first of three scheduled public meetings in the approximately 14-month long time period scheduled to complete the UDC.  Future public meetings are planned for February and August, 2014.  The UDC is scheduled to begin the public hearing process in September, 2014 and be completed later in the fall of 2014.
