Title
PUBLIC HEARING: Consider amendments to the City of Keller Unified Development Code (UDC), adopted by Ordinance No. 1746 dated July 7, 2015, by amending Article 5 - Subdivision Design; authorizing publication; provide for penalties; and establishing an effective date. City of Keller, applicant. (UDC-21-0004)
Background:
Staff is proposing to amend Article 5 of the Unified Development Code (UDC) to change standards regarding existing Fire Lane pavement regulations. Staff is proposing to add language to the UDC that allows applicants to have the option to core sample existing pavement to test the existing fire lane pavement. If the results meet the current standards set forth by the UDC, the existing fire lane may be used rather than installing a new fire lane.
Citizen Input:
An amendment to the text of the UDC requires a public hearing notice to be published in the local newspaper ten (10) days prior to the scheduled Planning and Zoning Commission meeting date. The notice for the Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing was published in the April 18, 2021, edition of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

- Recommend approval as submitted.
- Recommend approval with modifications or additional amendments(s).
