Unified Development OrdinanceFollowing a major review of the City's Planning and Zoning Code in 2001, coordinated by the Development Department, Upper Arlington City Council adopted the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) on April 22, 2002, making Upper Arlington one of the first communities in the Midwest to implement this form of Zoning Code.A UDO merges the zoning, subdivision and related development provisions into a single ordinance. The end result is a simplified development approval process, streamlined administrative procedures and practices, and a more user-friendly process for developers. Since its adoption and the ensuing implementation, the UDO has been well received by both staff and customers alike. Upper Arlington's UDO addresses all regulation strategies recommended in the Master Plan, including: - The creation of overlay zoning districts for the City's commercial areas, known as Planned Mixed-Use Developments, setting the stage for future redevelopment to better serve the community as a whole and maximize the tax base potential. - Residential conservation guidelines. - Street and walkway connectivity and pedestrian orientation. - Commercial design standards and guidelines. - Zoning incentives. - Multi-family design standards. - Increased landscaping and screening standards for commercial development. Completion and subsequent implementation of the UDO has successfully addressed numerous strategies and goals of the Master Plan. Accessing the UDO For ease of use, the UDO (Chapter 11 of the City's Codified Ordinances) has been broken down into pdf files by each article (the links at the top of the page).
