In a recent meeting of the Centennial Planning and Zoning Commission, members voted to recommend approval of an ordinance aimed at amending the city’s land development code. The ordinance, identified as number 2024-0-0808, includes significant modifications, notably the removal of street naming responsibilities from the Planning and Zoning Commission, which will now remain under the purview of the city council.

Commissioner French initiated the motion, emphasizing the importance of the changes in development approval procedures and community meeting requirements. The motion received unanimous support from the commission, reflecting a collaborative effort to streamline processes within the city’s governance.

The meeting also marked a farewell to Commissioner Levine, who expressed gratitude for her time on the commission and highlighted the value of community engagement. Levine noted her commitment to public health and the need to prioritize her professional responsibilities moving forward. Her contributions were acknowledged by fellow commissioners, who expressed their appreciation for her insights and leadership.

Looking ahead, the commission plans to convene again on July 24, where they will address at least one variance item, specifically related to fencing. Additionally, members were reminded of the upcoming Colorado American Planning Association conference, with budgeted funds available for attendance. The commission encourages participation, emphasizing the educational opportunities the conference presents.

As the meeting concluded, the commissioners reiterated their commitment to community involvement and the importance of ongoing education in their roles.
