this text amendment on November 14, 2007.
Pursuant to K.S.A. 12-3009 et
seq., K.S.A. 12-3301 et seq. and the Home Rule Authority of the City
as granted by Article 12, § 5 of the Kansas Constitution, the City of Lawrence
is authorized to adopt by ordinance and by incorporation by reference,
any standard or model code or ordinance, regulation
having the effect of law of a state officer, board or other agency, or statute,
or portions thereof on any subject on which a city may legislate, which
standard or model code or ordinance or state regulation is available in book or
pamphlet form.
The “Subdivision Regulations for Lawrence and
