Plano has consolidated its zoning and subdivision ordinances into a single Unified Development Code, the city announced. Steve Stoler, Plano’s media relations director, said the rewrite is designed to align the code with the city’s current comprehensive plan, simplify regulations, streamline the review process and provide clearer guidance for redevelopment.
Stoler said the first part of the rewrite — which focuses on zoning districts and nonresidential land uses — is now available for public review and feedback. He said submitted comments will be shared with the rewrite advisory committee, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council and will inform refinements prior to public hearings in 2026. The broadcast directed residents to plano.gov/udc for documents and details.
The broadcast did not specify detailed schedule dates for the 2026 hearings or any fiscal impacts of the rewrite.
