Project Outcomes
On September 21, 2015, the 2014 / 2015 omnibus legislation, Ordinance 124843, became effective.
The ordinance amended the Land Use Code (Title 23) and related land use regulations in Chapters 3.58, 25.05, 25.06, and 25.08 to clarify and improve the function of various rules. Our amendments generally included “clean-up” amendments that corrected inadvertent clerical errors and incorrect cross-references, and clarified existing code language. The need for these amendments was identified by residents, elected officials, and City staff.
