EXPLANATION: This amendment does not modify the existing context of Chapter 21 of the Code of Ordinances. There are no classification changes or fee schedule changes proposed as part of this amendment. The purpose of this amendment is to define terms related to Article 2 and to clarify existing requirements that are and have been, in practice for more than a decade. Additionally, existing general submittal requirements have been included in the code to help streamline the application submittal and review. The submittal requirements list is currently provided with the BTR application.
