In 2019, the city of Lubbock, TX, chose enCodePlus’ sister company, Kendig Keast Collaborative (KKC), to rewrite portions of their existing Code of Ordinances and reorganize them into a Unified Development Code (UDC). The capabilities of the enCodePlus system to integrate form-based regulations and handle the entire drafting process, from outline through the editing and public commenting process to adoption, made it the perfect choice for this project. The new UDC was adopted in 2023.
Additional features on the enCodePlus portal help the community access and understand the newly adopted regulations. Quick Tables collects tables from the document into one page where users can browse just the tables without the surrounding text. Development calculators interpret the written regulations for Bufferyards, Parking, and Signage requirements in a way that allows developers to estimate their actual needs for proposed projects. The inclusion of archived versions of the UDC makes it easy for readers to see past regulations and the evolution of the code over time.
Together, enCodePlus, Kendig Keast Collaborative, and the city of Lubbock created a modern, attractive, and easy-to-use Unified Development Code to replace their outdated zoning regulations. enCodePlus continues to provide codification services and support for the UDC.
