• • • taf~ Re ort 1994 Annual Zonin Ordinance Review August 18, 1994 S p g Proposed Amendments The following amendments were presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission at its July 21, 1994, meeting. For the purpose of public hearing review, the amendments have been prepared in the form in which they will (if approved) appear in the Zoning Ordinance. The State of Texas has amended its Manufactured Housing Act. The terms used to define certain types of manufactured structures have changed. Language now found in the Zoning Ordinance no longer matches that used by State Law. The amendments noted below will not alter any City regulation pertaining to mobile or manufactured homes. They merely update the terms used to describe certain types of structures. This will allow the Zoning Ordinance to remain current with State Law. Amending language is highlighted by bold face type.
