RE: |
CODIFICATION 2008
|
The Code of the City of Lawrence was last recodified in December of 2006. Attached for your review is a draft of a new codification (available on the Citys website at: http://www.lawrenceks.org/city_code) The new code will have an effective date of January 1, 2008. The below table summarizes the new ordinances adopted since the last codification which were substantive additions to the code and/or any changes made in the code during recodification. A new codification is appropriate as significant changes to the code have occurred in the last year. These include the adoption of new subdivision regulations, a new version of the Development Code and adoption of the I-codes which become effective January 1. Adoption of the attached authorization ordinance (Ordinance 8211) is requested to be followed in coming weeks with an adoption ordinance (Ordinance 8212).
