§ 25-8-518. LIMITED ADJUSTMENT TO RESOLVE POSSIBLE CONFLICTS WITH OTHER LAWS.
Latest version.
(A)
This article is not intended to conflict with the United States Constitution or the
Texas Constitution or to be inconsistent with federal or state statutes that may preempt
a municipal ordinance or the Austin City Charter.
(B)
The terms of this article shall be applied consistently and uniformly. If a three-quarters
majority of the city council concludes, or a court of competent jurisdiction renders
a final judgment concluding that this article, as applied to a specific development
project or proposal violates a law described in Subsection (A) of this section, the
city council may, after a public hearing, adjust the application of this article to
that project to the minimum extent required to comply with the conflicting law. Any
adjustment shall be structured to provide the maximum protection of water quality.
