Summary of Specifications:
The City of Cedar Park seeks the services of a qualified professional consultant to draft a new Zoning Ordinance. This zoning ordinance should incorporate recommendations included in the recently adopted Comprehensive Plan (adopted November 2014); this Plan is the third update to the original, and includes a number of goals, some considered “breakthrough” or stretch goals, and 21 objectives categorized under general themes of Future Land Use, Transportation, Infrastructure, Public Facilities and Livability. The zoning ordinance should also incorporate current and best planning practices, as well as provide clarification and consistency, remove contradictions or obsolete regulations, and to incorporate graphic illustrations, as may be appropriate. This update will involve working through a collaborative process that involves a variety of stakeholders, including a Council-appointed Advisory Committee, culminating in a fully updated, user-friendly zoning ordinance complete with illustrations and a newly adopted zoning map that reflects the changes to the zoning district structure. The resulting zoning ordinance should be simple, flexible, easily understood by the general public, and easily administered by staff.
