Body
BACKGROUND
On June 6, 2016 the Committee on the Environment (COE) gave staff direction to proceed with proposing revisions to Subchapter 17 of the Denton Development Code (DDC). These revisions would be classified into four major categories: editorial corrections, code language clarification, code language additions, and policy changes. The level of revision complexity generally increases with each category as listed. This presentation focuses on corrections. Code language clarifications, code language additions, and policy changes will be addressed in future presentations.
Staff identified numerous editorial corrections throughout Subchapter 17. These corrections are meant to update names and citations, correct misspelled words and other grammatical errors, and spell out acronyms. The proposed corrections are shown as redlines in Exhibit 1. The proposed corrections will not cause changes to the ESA map or require changes to other regulations outside Subchapter 17.
