Title
Conduct a Public Hearing and consider a request from the City of Farmers Branch to amend and replace in its entirety the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance regulates land use and development throughout the City, determining the location and types of zoning districts in which certain land uses may be located. In addition to the location of zoning districts, each zoning district has specific regulations and restrictions appropriate to the land uses within each district. The Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance also establishes the process for amending ordinances.
The current Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (CZO) used by the City was originally adopted in 1969. Since that time numerous minor text amendments have been made to this document, but never a massive rewrite or “overhaul” of the document was attempted.
