Planner announces departure; staff brief commission on street‑connectivity and C‑zone code revisions
Summary
Planning staff announced an impending personnel change and told the commission they are advancing street‑connectivity code revisions and proposed C‑2/C‑3 overlay changes that will be taken up by the incoming planner.
Sarah (staff member) told the Planning and Zoning Commission on June 9 that she is leaving the city and that Darren will serve as interim. She said the planning position has been posted and applications have been received. "He will be taking over in the interim, and they are working on replacing me. They have the job posted. They have applications that have come in," she said, adding that she is preparing a standard operating procedure document to ease the transition.
Sarah updated the commission on two code efforts still in progress. She said staff and a committee of developers and commission members had met to negotiate street‑connectivity changes for new subdivisions and that they appear to be close to a compromise, though the revisions are not yet ready for a formal code change. "Be expecting that," she told the commission.
She also said she had presented proposed C‑2 overlay and C‑3 code revisions the previous month but, because of her departure, she planned to let the incoming planner continue that work. "I decided I was gonna let the new person take that on and...Darren can walk that whoever that is through that process," she said.
Commissioners wished her well; no formal action was taken. Staff characterized the implementation risk of the code work as medium while additional internal review and staff onboarding proceed.
