HOLLAND — Holland City Council officially heard about proposed changes to local zoning ordinances during a study session Wednesday, as some residents continued to voice their opposition to reforms. The rewrite, called the Unified Development Ordinance, or UDO, would consolidate ordinances on zoning and development, update the format to make it easy to use for the public and modernize outdated development standards. The city's planning commission unanimously passed the proposed rewrite April 13, after months of deliberation. City planners have been reviewing a potential update to zoning ordinances since 2018.
