Proposed Amendments Before the City Council

Proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Development Ordinance (CDO) that are currently before the City Council are listed below.

 

Proposed amendments are first considered by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission then votes whether to send the proposed amendment as is, or in revised form, to the City Council. The City Council then votes whether to adopt the Planning Commission's proposed amendment, or a revised form.

 

Final adopted versions are shown in Recently Adopted Amendments until they are incorporated into the text of the Comprehensive Development Ordinance itself.

bullet ZA-12-07 Official Zoning Map Revision (TD Bank Block)
