This webpage is established as a conduit of information about the project, includes draft work products, status updates, and many other elements designed to keep folks informed about our progress. This webpage will be maintained and updated throughout the course of the project.
Another central part of project engagement is the UDO Focus Group, who will be meeting at least five times throughout the course of the project to consider draft work products and provide initial reactions to project concepts. All Focus Group meetings are open to the public and the group will likely make time available at meetings for any in attendance to ask questions or provide comments.
Design Dallas also includes two public forums at key points in the project, such as the Code Assessment and the Annotated Outline. Review of these early documents gives participants an overview of what is proposed while there is still plenty of time to revise proposals or change direction.. All public meetings will take place in Dallas.
Each draft work product produced for the project will be posted under the Documents tab along with associated presentations and summary trip notes in under the Project Status tab.
The adoption process includes at least two public meetings for interested individuals to attend and share input on the proposed regulations with the Planning Board or the Board of Aldermen.
The next opportunity for interested parties to participate in person will be at the first public forum to overview the Code Assessment. While the exact date is not yet identified, it is anticipated to be conducted during an early evening meeting in the later part of April 2023. Please check back to this webpage for more details on exact dates, times, and locations.
If you have questions or would like to get more information on how to participate, please provide your question and email in the space below and a member of Town staff will get back to you with more details.
