The Unified Development Ordinance Committee (UDOC) agreed at its last meeting to send the revised subdivision section of the UDO to the Polk County Planning Board for review.
The UDO committee has been working to create a document that will combine all of the current Polk County Ordinances into one text, as well as updating the current ordinances. To make this project more manageable, the revisions have been broken down into sections. The subdivision section is the first to be sent to the planning board for comments.
The planning board will begin the review process of this section at their September meeting. When the review has been completed, the planning board will send the section to the board of commissioners for final approval.
The next two sections the UDO committee will revise are the mountainside and ridgeline protection section and the sign section. Upcoming meeting dates are Thursday, Sept. 15 and Tuesday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. at the Polk County Senior Center in Columbus.
The committee welcomes public comment at every meeting and encourages anyone interested to attend.
