The Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of an amendment to the town’s land‑use code clarifying enforcement language, penalties for violations and who administers zoning enforcement.

Staff said the amendment complements a separate municipal‑code update and removes redundant or unclear enforcement language, clarifies activities inconsistent with approvals (for example conditional uses and site plans), and designates the zoning administrator role in the land‑use code. The proposal also deletes redundant penalty language and consolidates enforcement paths to reduce confusion.

Commissioners asked about definitions in the municipal code — for example the town’s weed/vegetation standards — and staff clarified that those definitions live in the municipal code (not the land‑use code) and that additional municipal‑code work remains a separate process. Commissioners supported the cleanup and recommended approval to town council.

Action and next steps: the commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to town council for the municipal‑code/land‑use code amendments; staff noted council will consider related municipal‑code changes next week.
