"What's the UDC and PC?" you ask.
The UDC is the Urban Design Committee, and here's what they do:
"The Urban Design Committee (UDC) is an advisory board to the Planning Commission that reviews development on public property or in the public right-of-way. In their work, the UDC encourages high standards of urban design and an improved community appearance. Additionally, the UDC evaluates and recommends design overlay districts proposed by neighborhood groups.
The Richmond Urban Design Committee (UDC) is a ten member advisory committee created by City Council in 1968. Its purpose is to advise the City Planning Commission (CPC) on the design of City projects. The UDC reviews projects for appropriateness in "location, character and extent" and for consistency with the City's Master Plan and forwards recommendations to the CPC. The UDC also advises the Department of Public Works in regards to private encroachments in the public right-of-way."
The PC is the Planning Commission, and here's what they do:
"The Planning Commission is responsible for the conduct of planning relating to the orderly growth and development of the City, including adequate and appropriate resources for the housing, business, industry, transportation, distribution, recreation, culture, comfort, convenience, health and welfare of its population."
The Conceptual 30% Design of the Project will be presented at two upcoming City of Richmond Public Meetings:
- Urban Design Committee (UDC) Meeting: Thursday, August 20th at 10am in Council Chambers (2nd Floor) of City Hall, 900 E. Broad Street
- Planning Commission (PC) Meeting: Tuesday, September 8th at 1:30pm in the 5th Floor conference room of City Hall, 900 E. Broad Street
The public is welcome to attend! You are also welcome to submit comments for the consideration of the UDC and PC, and can do so by sending them to Jeff Eastman at jeff.eastman@richmondgov.com
We hope to see you there, or in the community soon!
