Background:

On June 1st, 2023, the City Council passed a Resolution that instructed the staff to revise City Code Title 25 related to application procedures for amending the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). Currently, under City Code Title 25 Article 16 Neighborhood Plan Amendments, applications for FLUM amendments are only accepted in February and July. However, as per the City Council's directives outlined in the Resolution, the proposed changes aim to enable applicants to submit their applications for FLUM amendments at any time, thereby eliminating the existing filing deadlines. Article 16: Neighborhood Plan Amendment ordinance has a provision where plan amendment applications can only be filed during the month of February for neighborhood planning areas on the west side of IH-35 and during the month of July for neighborhood planning areas on the east side of IH-35. There are exceptions provided in the ordinance for applications to be filed outside of the February and July open filing periods.
