F. Action Items

Director
Director of Community Development, Marty Matsen discussed the Neighborhood Conservation
Overlay District (NCOD) and the Unified Development Code (UDC) and which document takes
precedence when reviewing a project. Matsen provided a brief history of how the NCOD came about
and it’s relation to the UDC. Matsen clarified that even though the NCOD acts as a guideline, the
language is written in a manner that requires certain provisions. He also clarified that there are
sections in the UDC which require compliance with the NCOD in order to receive approval.
06:19:30 PM (00:16:42) Matsen shared that they will be asking the NCOD consultant to move anything that
should be a regulation, not a guideline, to the UDC in order to better regulate. He also stated that they will be
working on clearer definitions for things like ‘neighborhood’ and ‘character’ during the review.
