| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The Allen Land Development Code (ALDC) is periodically amended to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the code, address changing development trends and new technologies, and make changes necessary for compliance with state and federal laws.
The primary focus of the proposed amendments is to refine operational standards for two different business uses: massage establishments and private clubs. The proposed standards are consistent with and complementary to state regulations. Additionally, there are a number of minor amendments that are included within the proposed ordinance. There is a redline version of the changes to the ALDC attached to this agenda item that includes staff explanation/rationale for each of the changes.
The proposed amendments have gone through a review and refinement process with participation from City attorneys.
On August 7, 2018, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request.
