Project Overview
The City of La Grange is developing its Unified Development Code (UDC) to implement the recommendations of the Vision La Grange Comprehensive Plan, Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails (PROST) Master Plan and other applicable plans.
What is the UDC?
A UDC refers to the Unified Development Code. It's the set of local regulations adopted by a city that governs land use, zoning, subdivision, site planning, and development standards all in one document. Instead of having separate ordinances for zoning, subdivision, and design, a UDC consolidates them to make regulations more consistent and easier to navigate. La Grange currently uses a series of separate development regulations that are from the 1980's. This process will utilize the best practice of updating the UDC alongside the Comprehensive Plan to ensure the documents are coordinated.
Key Features
- Zoning Regulations: Defines what types of land uses (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.) are allowed in different districts.
- Subdivision Regulations: Lays out how property can be divided, including requirements for streets, drainage, and utilities.
- Procedures: Provides the process for rezoning, permitting, variances, and public hearings.
Share Your Thoughts
Think about the places you love in La Grange or anywhere else. What makes them special? Is it the look of the building, the walkability, the mix of shops and homes, or how people gather there? Your ideas will help shape the City's development standards and guide the look and feel of future growth. (max 140 characters).
