As a result, this ordinance has been updated to include the associated changes to the section of the Land Development Code that is the subject of this ordinance.

This ordinance amends Land Development Code Section 30-5.13 Gasoline and Alternative Fuel Service Stations to provide compatibility requirements for the siting of these facilities near residentially zoned property.
