Highland Park Community Development Association item continued to Oct. 2

The Planning and Zoning Commission on Sept. 4 granted a continuance to Oct. 2 for an application from the Highland Park Community Development Association concerning property at 3851 Sherman Boulevard. The applicant asked for more time to revise their proposal, and staff told attendees the continuance is a routine accommodation to allow the applicant to modify materials and, if necessary, re‑notice the hearing.

A staff member said the applicant had requested the continuance to give the project team time to re‑examine the proposal and possibly make changes; the commission typically allows such requests. The commission confirmed the new hearing date of Oct. 2 and staff said public comment cards would be reused unless the proposal changed substantially, in which case staff would re‑notice and issue new cards. The staff speaker also noted the city can provide a 10‑day notice period before the October meeting if changes warrant re‑notification.

No substantive testimony or formal vote on the project’s details occurred because of the continuance. The applicant will appear before the commission on Oct. 2 unless they withdraw the request or the applicant makes substantial changes that trigger a new notice period.
