Charter Election Proposition U

Shall Section 7.03 “Master plan” of the Charter of the Town of Addison, Texas, be amended to change the wording “official master plan” to the “Comprehensive Plan” since that is the name of the Town’s long-range planning document and to state that the City Council may amend the Comprehensive Plan by majority vote of the City Council members present at a Council meeting?

Impact

This proposition changes references to the Town’s “Master Plan” to “Comprehensive Plan,” since that more accurately reflects the name of the Town’s planning document.  This proposition would also clarify that the Comprehensive Plan can be amended by a majority of council members present at a Council meeting, rather than the current wording that could be construed to require the whole Council to be present for any vote involving the Comprehensive Plan and has not been the practice of the Town.
