Description:
In 2012, TSW, as part of a team led by Code Studio, was retained by the City of Roswell to prepare its new Unified Development Code (UDC). The UDC is intended to guide and support the vision of the recently adopted 2030 Comprehensive Plan, which described the city’s future as a community of choice to live, work, and visit.
Key elements of the UDC include:
The process began with the Diagnostic Report that reviewed and analyzed existing plans. Key findings from the analysis included the need for a number of changes to better accommodate infill and redevelopment and to make Roswell more economically competitive as well as more attractive to a broader range of new employees and residents.
Following affirmation of the direction provided by the Diagnostic Report by City Council, the team drafted the code. As part of this, TSW focused on the code’s urban design provisions, district metrics, landscaping standards, and a review for usability and clarify.
