Brownsburg UDO Review Process

The Town of Brownsburg is working on updates to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The UDO specifies how projects get built. It contains regulations on structure height and size, landscaping type and quantity, and parking space numbers and size, among other items. Town staff is in the process of revising these regulations to bring them up to date, to remove errors and inconsistencies and to make the document more user friendly.

Project Status

The town staff has initiated the process of updating the UDO to simplify, streamline, and clarify sections in the current development code. To kick-start the process, a working group was engaged, and a consultant was hired to help draft new ordinance language. Significant background work has already been done, and staff and the Advisory Plan Commission have worked through many details to arrive at the draft available today.

Please take some time to look through the Draft Unified Development Ordinance (PDF) and give us your thoughts.
