SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Community Development Department is working on a complete revision of Title 16, the subdivision ordinance. In collaboration with a team from R&M consultants, com dev staff will revise the code to bring it into conformance with Plan Valdez - the 2021 comprehensive plan and the newly revised Title 17 zoning code.
This work session is a joint work session of Valdez City Council and the Planning & Zoning Commission to meet the project team, review the existing Title 16 code, and discuss desired changes to improve the code and make it easier to interpret and implement.
Agenda:
I. Introduction to the Subdivision Code and Revision Project
II. Current Code Analysis and Guidance from Plan Valdez
III. Feedback from City Council and Planning & Zoning
Attached for review is the existing Title 16 Subdivision ordinance and a technical memo dated 02/28/2025 that identifies areas of the code that need to be considered for amendment. Following the presentation, the project team hopes to hear feedback from the council members and commissioners regarding how the existing subdivision code is working (or not working) for the community and any areas that they would like to see amended.
