City Staff reviewed the first 10 chapters of the Development Code and made minor changes. Below are a list of the changes. You can also few the marked up changes in the Code under documents to the right.

Chapter 1- Title, Authority and Purpose

No major edits made to this Chapter. Wording changes to add clarity. Elimination of some words that were unnecessary including Section 01.100 Repealing of Existing Ordinances and Effective Date.

Chapter 2- Interpretation and Effect

Language was added that the most restrictive provision of the Code applies when different provisions conflict. And other minor wording changes to add clarity.

Chapter 3- Administration

Lots of minor wording and capitalization changes as well as the elimination of Letter D in Section 03.060 that talks about approval of specific projects. This section was eliminated because it is covered in Chapter 11 of this code.

This chapter only has minor changes to the wording and punctuation.
