The Dickinson Planning & Zoning Commission is actively reviewing and recommending amendments to the City’s Unified Development Code (UDC) and zoning map, with detailed discussions held at the May 19, 2026 meeting and a follow-up action item scheduled for June 16, 2026. Topics under consideration include fence regulations (increased heights and transparency rules), accessory dwelling units (ADUs) including size and where they’re allowed, manufactured housing provisions, use table updates, and flexibility for commercial fencing and mixed-use/downtown districts. These amendments indicate a broader effort to modernize land development regulations and better align zoning with current and planned development patterns, particularly in mixed-use, downtown, and residential transition areas. While no outside consultant is named, cities often seek planning, legal, GIS, and code authoring support to draft, illustrate, and implement complex UDC changes, update zoning maps, and run public outreach. Vendors in planning, zoning code consulting, GIS/mapping, and permitting/code publishing platforms can position to help Dickinson with technical drafting, scenario modeling, public engagement materials, digital codification, and training once staff and the Commission refine the scope.
