Unified Development Ordinance update
The council hired Multistudio and Wilson & Company for an 18-month, roughly $300,000 rewrite of the city's development code to match the new Elevate Olathe plan. Councilmembers pressed on whether it will help or hurt housing affordability — staff said the goal is a mix of housing types, not an apartment boom, and some standards could even be loosened.
