Summary of the Legislation:

Ongoing maintenance of the Land Use Code periodically requires amendments that are relatively small scale and have limited scope and impact.  Such amendments include correcting typographical errors and incorrect section references, as well as clarifying existing code provisions. 

Background:

Periodic updating of the Land Use Code is an important part of the regulatory process. Clarifying development regulations is necessary from time to time to correct errors and omissions when they are discovered, and to ensure that the City’s policy intent is clear and achievable.  Adoption of these Land Use Code amendments will help to facilitate easier understanding and improved administration and application of the Land Use Code. The last omnibus ordinance of Code amendments was adopted in 2009.  A more detailed summary of the proposed amendments is included in the attached Director’s Report.
