St1BJECT REPEAL OF CODE OF CITY OF FORT WORTH, SECTIONS 25-71 THROUGH 25-79,
CONCERN}NG ZONING COMMISSION AND HISTORIC AND CULTURAL LANDMARKS
COMMISSION AND AMENDMENT OF SECTION 25-1 CONCERNING APPLICATION
FEE FOR CONSERVATION DISTRICTS
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance repealing sections of the City
Code concerning the Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commissian and the Zoning Commission, which
have been incorporated in the revised zoning ardinance, and amending the application fee for
conservation districts to make the City Cnde consistent with the zoning ordinance.
DISCUSSION:
On August 10, 1999, the City Council approved a revision of the zoning ordinance. Chapter 2 of the
zoning ordinance includes sections concerning each city board or commission with authority under the
zoning ordinance, including the Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commissian and the Zoning•
Commissian. Sections 25-71 through 25-77 of-the City Code concerning the Zoning Cammission are
now included in Section 2.100 of the zoning ordinance. Sections 25-78 and 25-79 of the City Cnde
cancerning the Landmarks Cammission are now included in Section 2.103 of the zoning ardinance. It
is recommended that Sections 25-71 through 25-79 be repealed in order to avoid duplicating provisions
of the zoning ordinance.
Section 25-1 provides far a $100 application fee far conservation districts. However, Section 4.401 of
the zoning ardinance concerning conservation districts states that the fee is equal to the fee for Historic
and Cultural Landmarks Districts. Section 2~-1 of the City Code states that there is nn fee for "Historic
and Cultural Subdistricts", which is an outdated reference to "Historic and Cultural Landmarks District".
All references in the zoning ordinance to Historic and Cultural Subdistricts were replaced with
references to Historic and Cultural Landmarks Districts several years ago. The attached ordinance
would update the reference to Historic and Cultural Landmarks Districts, and state that na application
fee is oharged for conservation districts.
FISCAL }NFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that this amendment will have no material effect nn City funds.
