Title
Approving a professional services agreement with Clarion Associates, LLC for an assessment of the Unified Development Code in an amount not to exceed $89,220 for Fiscal Year 2024, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the same.

The report will identify deficiencies in the UDC, including inconsistencies, and an approach on how to implement the Aspire Pflugerville 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
