The Ordinance Advisory Committee (OAC) is volunteer committee of neighborhoods, environmental groups, designers and development professionals. The committee, with a wide range of expertise, reviews elements of the UDO to help our team decide how to best include them in the draft.
The OAC typically meets once or twice each month. Currently, the OAC meets on Thursdays at 11:30 a.m. via Zoom. Attendance at OAC meetings is limited to committee members, City staff and officials. Meetings are not broadcast live, but the recording of each meeting is available here within 5-7 business days.
Watch: Members of our OAC share why the UDO is important
