| Status | Strategy | Summary | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Completed | 2.2.16 | Create a quarterly reporting system, similar to the previously produced Urban Development Report, to track development patterns. |
This is reported to the Memphis-Shelby County Division of Planning and Development each quarter. |
| Initial Stage | 2.2.17 | Allow private development LEED Neighborhood Development Certified Projects to be fast-tracked through the entitlement and permit process. |
This strategy has not been addressed to date. Support for this approach was echoed in the work of the Green Building Task Force. The Office of Sustainability will explore how to implement this goal. |
| Completed | 2.2.18 | Ordinances for “Sustainability Development Zones” where special bonuses are given for compact, mixed-use, transit-oriented, and energy-efficient development should be passed. |
This has essentially been achieved through the approval of the overlay districts |
| Initial Stage | 2.2.19 | After the Comprehensive Plan and comprehensive rezoning, the UDC should be amended to require that planned developments be approved by ordinance. |
This strategy has not been pursued due to process concerns, as this would require three readings rather than one. This would lengthen the approval process and make development more difficult. |
| Completed | 2.2.20 | The UDC should include additional use standards for certain hazardous waste industrial uses including radioactive materials. |
*See section 2.6.4B of the Unified Development Code for Industrial Use Standards of Radioactive Materials/Waste. |
