Jack Sheehan, Long Range Planner, presented Text Amendments to the Land Use Code related to Exemption Plats. The purpose of this text amendment is to update the eligibility for Exemption Plat (Article 9-300.A) section of the Land Use Code, specifically two subsections where eligibility for the process (Sections 9-300.A.2 and 9-300.A.3) currently only applies to Building Lots meeting a specific definition of a Building Lot (as defined in 9-100.A.7).  The text amendment proposes to allow any parcel meeting any definition of a Building Lot to be eligible for an Exemption Plat under these subsections.
