Unified Development Code (UDC)
Overview
Luis NunezKendig Keast CollaborativeAugust 1, 2017
-
V I N T O N , T XUDC Priorities Implement the 2017 Comprehensive Plan Goals and Objectives
Provide a code that is clear and understandable
Modernize design standards
Spell out and streamline all development processes
Anticipate development issues before growth arrives
Create right size regulations for staff administration
Ensure that developers pay their fair share of development costs
Every regulation must be based on Vinton’s Planning Vision
-
V I N T O N , T XUDC OrganizationThe UDC is organized to answer the following questions:
1. What is my property zoned?
2. What uses are permitted?
3. What uses require Commission and Council action?
4. What building design standards are required?
5. How do I subdivide property?
6. What are the site plan and sign requirements?
7. What are the development processes?
8. From whom do I receive approval?
9. How are terms defined?

V I N T O N , T X
Zoning Maintained the existing district structure to avoid:
- Creating nonconforming uses; and
- The need for rezoning upon UDC adoption
Created a Planned Development option to encourage design innovation.
Created a Public Institutional district
Renamed the EED district to Town Center (TC).
Renamed the M-1 district as Business Park to distinguish it from the M-2 district.

Business Park M-1 Business Park A mixed use center of light industrial and business uses with enhanced design standards.
General Industrial M-2 Industrial General/heavy industrial uses.
Public Institutional PI Public Uses Public, institutional, and utility uses.

“Simplified” PD ProcessThe UDC includes a Planned Development process that only requires site planapproval, by ordinance, based on specific standards codified in the UDC. This will:
Allow innovative development with a minimum amount of process;
Allow flexibility for challenging sites (i.e., near arroyos);
Create more predictability and reduce developer risk;
Still require public hearings and public input;
Allow staff approval of minor amendments, subject to tight criteria, and all other amendments by the Commission and Council; and
Simplify developer adjustments to market changes (i.e., market flexibility).
-
V I N T O N , T X
Potential Result . . . . . A developer could propose a cluster development that avoids a hazard, provides more usable common space, and maximizes the use of a difficult site (i.e., arroyo).
-
V I N T O N , T XPlanned Development Example:Example 1. Tree preservation depends on each owner. Only 6 lots have water access. The road will likely be a cut-through. Example 2. Similar to Example 1, with stream access for all owners and some common open space and tree preservation. Example 3. The hazard is avoided, tree and open space preservation are maximized, and the street is a less desirable short cut.
The density of each of the three examples is the same, but each is unique, but only Example 3 requires a PD.Example 1 Example 2 Example3
