Planning board recommends UDO correction to reflect 2022 ordinance on multifamily uses in TR district

Planning staff asked the Selma Planning Board to recommend a technical correction to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) to align the table of permitted uses with an ordinance adopted by the Town Council in 2022. The board voted to recommend approval of the correction.

Staff explained that Section 17-5-15 (as referenced in the staff memorandum) states that multifamily development is permitted with a special use permit (SUP) in the TR transitional residential district. However, the table of permitted uses in a different section of Chapter 17 had not been updated to reflect that change and still listed the TR district incorrectly. Staff proposed updating the chart so the table matches the ordinance language adopted in 2022.

Staff characterized the item as a housekeeping correction consistent with the town's future land use plan and said there is not much TR mapped in town currently, though properties could be rezoned in the future to that classification. The board discussed the correction as a straightforward legislative cleanup and approved the recommendation to council.

What happens next: staff will forward the Planning Board's recommendation to the Town Council so the UDO online and official copies reflect the 2022 ordinance language.
