SUSTAINABLE SARATOGA

… using education, advocacy, and action to advance sustainable practices and protect our environment for current and future generations

UDO UPDATE – Sustainable Saratoga proposes four amendments

The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) review process is nearing the end. Sustainable Saratoga continues to advocate for the changes that we feel are necessary to carry out the vision of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan.

On October 5, we released a review of the final UDO, which includes some things we believe are vitally important and must be addressed before the UDO is adopted.

On October 21, we released a statement and draft text for four amendments that we feel are critically needed before the UDO is adopted. We will continue to make our case with City Council and the public.

The Council will vote whether to approve the UDO on November 16. We hope you will write to City Council and urge them to support these amendments. THANK YOU!
