The split of the Department of Community Development and Planning (DCDP) into two new departments will require 87 amendments to the Cincinnati's Municipal Code.
Mayor Mark Mallory recently revived the Department of City Planning, which began work last September with Charles C. Graves III as its director.
The move eliminated all planning functions from the Department of Community Development and Planning (DCDP) and allowed the City to dissolve the Department of Buildings and Inspections (B&I) - splitting its functions between the two new departments.
Amendments to the Municipal Code naming the new departments and dissolving B&I were approved by City Council in December.
The text amendments to Chapter 1400 of the Municipal Code include:
* 9 changes from the "Director of Community Development and Planning" to the "Director of the City Planning Department"
* 78 changes from the "Director of Buildings and Inspection" to the "Director of the City Planning Department"
These changes are expected to be approved by City Council.
