6. MSA response to committee questionsMSA Response to Committee questions
1. How would your unified plan update differ from the City’s current plan?
Typically, the difference between a conventional zoning code and a UDO is a UDO generally
is broken into broader categories such as Districts, Land Development Regulations (a lot of
the subdivision regulations fall into this area; plus, any other critical engineering
requirements for land development)
A UDO becomes a one-stop document for all Land Development requirements
A Convention Zoning Code will be used in conjunction with Subdivision Regulations and
other Engineering Design policies and requirements.
2. Would you firm have the flexibility to adapt the project schedule given the
obstacles of this current public health crisis?
Yes, we have the flexibility to adapt the project schedule given the obstacles of this current
public health crisis. We also have the flexibility if you’d like to adapt the project; we would
be happy to consider changes needed to comply with open meetings laws during a
pandemic while providing an opportunity for ALL interested parties to express opinions and
ideas relative to the project.
3. Are you willing to have the project team present at the time of interview?

be incompliance with the MN rules for doing business during the COVID-19 pandemic and
we can keep everyone safe. We could also set up and host a virtual interview at your
