Date: July 21, 2025 Item: 5.4 <br />Presenter: Laura Oakden, Community Development Director <br />Section: Public Hearings <br /> <br />Title: LA25-000028, City Code Recodification, Ordinance Update (Laura Oakden) <br /> <br /> <br />1.Purpose: <br />The City of Orono is proposing a recodification of the City Code. A public hearing is required for <br />recodification of Chapter 78: Zoning Regulations. <br />2.Background: <br />Chapter 78: Zoning Regulations of the City Code (Exhibit B) is attached for your review. The <br />new version has the same text as the current City Code but is renumbered with updated outlines to <br />keep the City Code organized and remove the sections that have been left blank (reserved) over the <br />years. Because the Zoning Regulations (Chapter 78) numbering is being updated with the <br />recodification process, a public hearing and recommendation by the Planning Commission is <br />required. <br /> <br /> It is a good practice to do a full legal review and update of the code every 10 to 15 years so it <br />remains current. The City last competed recodification in 2003. <br />3.Public Comment: <br />No public comments have been received. <br />4.Staff Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval. <br />5.Planning Commission Action Requested: <br />The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing and make a motion to recommend <br />approval of the proposed City Code recodification. <br />AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Exhibits <br />Ex A TA- City Code Recodification Staff Report.docx <br />Ex.
