Modification to TMC Chapter 11

Title
Amending Various Sections of Toledo Municipal Code (TMC), Chapter 11, Changing Commissioner of Building Inspections to Planning Director; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Plan Commission is requesting a modification to Various Sections of TMC Chapter 11, Changing Commissioner of Building Inspections to Planning Director. This minor amendment is in relation to the adopted changes that took place last year when the Plan Commission began administering zoning compliance and enforcement.
