Roswell Schedules Another UDC Design Guidelines Workshop

Late this afternoon the City of Roswell sent out word about another public design guidelines workshop connected to the proposed Unified Development Code. 

That meeting will take place on Feb. 5. Earlier this week, we posted a story about another special UDC work session slated for next Wednesday.

The additional meetings have been called as the Roswell Mayor & Council tentatively approved the UDC on a First Reading and with formal approval scheduled for Feb. 10. 

Here's the rest of the city's release about the second UDC design guideline workshop:

The focus of the project is to establish clear, concise development regulations that will provide appropriate design guidance for innovative approaches to development while maintaining the desired character of Roswell. The guidelines will address development throughout the City, including the historic district.

The proposed Unified Development Code (UDC) is a single ("unified") tool that addresses contemporary development and zoning practices in a format that is consistent and easily understood by administrators, developers, and community members.

This workshop and open house, which will be held from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in Room 220 at Roswell City Hall (38 Hill Street), will include a joint work session with the Roswell Design Review Board (DRB) and Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). It will provide opportunities for questions and public feedback.
