Why this matters for public comment

  • Maps each part of the City's draft framework to the matching enforceable ordinance section.
  • Shows exactly where the City's draft is a goal with no teeth, and the language that turns it into a rule.
  • Makes it easy to tell Council: "adopt this section, not just the idea."
  • The companion to the Draft Ordinance and the Evidence Record.
