City releases draft of proposed development standards as council receives first review of document 8:18 pm, May 24, 2021 × A variety of questions and proposed tweaks came with the initial review of the second of three installments of Rochester’s draft Unified Development Code on Monday. “Are we setting up the (Unified Development) Code to be a set of rules, so that once you pass them you get approved, or are we setting up that our (Community) Development team will have judgement on whether something adheres to the zoning or not?” Rochester City Council member Patrick Keane asked. The latest sections of the proposed code include development standards that regulate the site and appearance of what is allowed in each defined zone of the city.
