Roswell's Planning Commission will consider a code change Tuesday, Nov. 17, that would add references to the city's Historic District Style Guide in the Unified Development Code (UDC).
The commission's sole action item is a text amendment to the UDC. According to the meeting agenda, the amendment would insert language referencing the Style Guide across four sections of the code: general design guidelines, outdoor dining rules for accessory uses, the design plan review process and the historic review process.
The specific UDC articles on the table are Art. 1.4 (General Provisions, Design Guidelines), Art. 9.7.15 (Use Provisions, Accessory Uses, Outdoor Dining), Art. 13.6 (Administration, Design Plan Review) and Art. 13.7 (Administration, Historic Review).
The amendment covers code sections that govern outdoor dining, design guidelines, design plan review and historic review in the Historic District.
The commission's role is to review and recommend. Chair Kitty Singleton will preside, joined by Vice Chair Eric Schumacher and commissioners Pooja Gardner, Robert Mayer and Carol Williams. The agenda notes a possible quorum of the Mayor and City Council.
Beyond the code amendment, the commission will discuss its own bylaws and set its 2027 calendar dates. Members will also consider approval of minutes from their Sept. 15 and Oct. 20 meetings.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in City Hall Council Chambers.
