Poughkeepsie Common Council opens, then closes public hearing on proposed zoning-code amendment
Summary
On Feb. 4 the Poughkeepsie Common Council opened a public hearing on a local law to amend the city zoning code—specifically to remove a footnote at section 19-3.32(c) and correct several definitions—and closed the hearing after no public comments were received.
The Poughkeepsie Common Council on Feb. 4 opened and then closed a public hearing on a proposed local law to amend the city zoning code to remove the footnote at section 19-3.32(c) and to correct various definitions.
The council clerk read the notice, saying the hearing was being held pursuant to the City charter and codes on the Third Floor of City Hall at Civic Center Plaza in Poughkeepsie. A full roll call showed Council member Henry, Council member Menace, Council member Brown, Council member James, Council member Grant, Council member McClinton, Majority Leader Patterson Thompson, Vice Chair Shook and Chairman Wilson present.
After a brief wait with no members of the public signed up to speak, a council member moved to close the public hearing; the motion received a second and the chair called for the vote. Council members responded in the affirmative and the public hearing was closed. The record indicates no public testimony was received during the hearing.
The proposed change would remove the footnote at Section 19-3.32(c) of the City of Poughkeepsie Zoning Code and correct various definitions, according to the notice read into the record. The council did not take final legislative action on the local law during the portion of the meeting recorded in the transcript excerpt.
The council later discussed scheduling an attorney-client meeting; that procedural discussion did not change the recorded outcome of the zoning public hearing.
