SUGGESTED CODE CHANGES INPUT NEEDED - Tucson's Mayor and Council provided direction in June to begin code updates to streamline Planning and Development Services Department (PDSD) processes. PDSD is currently collecting input from stakeholders, staff, and the public about the potential code changes. It is anticipated the proposed code changes will fall into the following three categories: clean-ups/clarifications, improvements/enhancements, and policy-driven code. Based on the suggestions, PDSD will refine this into a suite of code amendments that would be most effective in terms of streamlining. If you're interested in commenting, please follow the link below to take an online survey by Friday, Aug. 12.
