Update of City Land Development Code underway

The City of Lawrence recently launched an effort to update its Land Development Code (LDC). The Land Development Code is the set of regulations that guide how development should occur in our community. It is also one of the primary tools used to implement Plan 2040 — the comprehensive plan for the City of Lawrence and Douglas County — and the Lawrence Strategic Plan.

Overarching goals for the Land Development Code update include:

  *   Establishing a simpler and more consistent set of development procedures
  *   Identifying opportunities to achieve City goals related to climate change, sustainability, housing, economic development, and other community priorities
  *   Making the LDC more user-friendly, searchable, and easy to understand
  *   Creating more predictable development outcomes
The Land Development Code update is being managed by a project team comprised of City staff from the Department of Planning and Development Services with support from Clarion Associates, a national land-use consulting firm. The LDC update will take approximately two years to complete.

Community invited to participate in kickoff meetings
A series of kickoff meetings is planned for August 30 through September 1. All community members are invited to participate.

These meetings include a series of roundtable discussions and a steering committee meeting to be held in the Planning and Development Services offices at 1 Riverfront Plaza, Suite 320. There will also be community open houses held in various locations throughout Lawrence.
