Item 73 Passedunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This item cleans up an earlier ordinance about development review for the Austin Light Rail, correcting language so the reduced minimum horizontal spacing between pipes applies to both Austin Water infrastructure and non-Austin Water infrastructure. It's a technical fix to make sure the rules read the way they're meant to as light rail construction moves forward. The item has no fiscal impact.
