Notice of Passage of Ordinance
A. ORDINANCE 2024-02 AMENDING SECTIONS 1103.01, 1107.07, AND 1115.10 OF THE CITY OF FRANKLIN UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE
The Ordinance proposes various amendments to Section 1103.01 and 1107.07 that would allow for the use “Essential Services and Utilities, City Owned” to be permitted in each zoning district and exempt such essential services and utilities from the application of the UDO.
The Ordinance also proposes various amendments to Section 1115.10 of the Uniform Development Code, governing Appeals Board (BZA) zoning procedures and approvals. Many of the amendments remedy grammatical errors, and maintain consistency of terms and language used throughout Section 1115.10. More substantive changes appear in subsections 1115.10(d)(7) and (e)(3)(E). These provisions state: (i) an Appeals Board decision becomes a final appealable order immediately following the Appeals Board’s oral decision vote; and (ii) the oral decision will be reduced to writing and transmitted to the involved applicant within thirty (30) days of the date of the public meeting during which the vote was rendered.
