SUBJECT: Subdivision Ordinance Text Amendment Related to Plats of Survey, Boundary Line
Adjustments,Retracement Surveys, and Subdivision Review in the Urban Fringe
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval (6-0 vote) of the above-mentioned
amendments to the Subdivision Ordinance at its meeting of June 3, 2009.
The City Council will be reviewing these proposed amendments at its meeting f June 23, 2009.

I have attached a copy of the Commission Action Form dated June 3, 2009, as prepared by Steve
Osguthorpe, which include a draft of each of the ordinances that he has prepared. Normally, Planning
does not put proposed amendments in ordinance format, but in this case Steve thought that the
preambles would help to more fully establish the issue and purpose of the changes. (The Planning and
Zoning Commission based its recommendations on the information contained in the preambles.) Steve
said that these are now provided for the convenience of the Legal Department, but will certainly defer to
Legal on whether to use or modify the preambles or format.
Please contact Steve at extension 5400 if you have any questions regarding this agenda item.
