Garden City commission puts PUD ordinance amendments on consent, continues Edgemere subdivision and day-care permit to June 18
Summary
At its April 16 meeting the City of Garden City Planning and Zoning Commission approved a consent agenda sending planned unit development ordinance amendments to the City Council and continued the Edgemere subdivision and a Strive Academy day-care expansion permit to June 18 because of missing submittals and noticing errors.
GARDEN CITY — The City of Garden City Planning and Zoning Commission on April 16 moved amendments to the planned unit development (PUD) ordinance to the consent agenda and continued two land-use items — the Edgemere subdivision and a conditional-use permit for a day-care expansion — to a June 18 hearing date.
The action, approved by voice vote with all members present saying “aye,” covered three items: CPA FY2024-0006 (planned unit development ordinance amendments), SUB FY2024-0006 (Edgemere Subdivision, a combined preliminary and final plat processed as a PUD), and CUP FY2025-0003 (a conditional-use permit request from Steven Pindell and Strive Academy LLC to expand a day-care facility). The subdivision and conditional-use permit were continued to June 18, 2025; the subdivision continuation was attributed to lack of submittals and the CUP to noticing errors.
The commission’s action followed a short procedural discussion about whether it was appropriate to place a public hearing item on the consent agenda when no members of the public were present to testify. Chairman (name not specified) and Commissioner Wilde raised the procedural concern; City staff told the commission that when there is no opposition and no one is present to testify, placing an item on the consent agenda is standard practice but that staff would confirm with the city attorney if a formal hearing were required. Staff said that, if the attorney determined a hearing was needed, the item could be remanded to a future meeting.
The commission’s motion to approve the consent agenda also instructed staff to include Commissioner Brown’s suggested changes in the packet provided to the City Council. The commission noted for the record that no members of the public were present, either in-person or on the meeting Zoom, to testify on the matters moved to consent.
City staff additionally told the commission it is unlikely there will be any actionable items on next month’s agenda, so the commission may not meet in May.
The Edgemere subdivision matter will return on June 18 after applicants supply the missing submittals. The conditional-use permit for Strive Academy LLC will return on June 18 after corrective notice procedures are completed. The PUD ordinance amendments will proceed to the City Council packet with the record that the Planning and Zoning Commission placed that item on the consent agenda at the April 16 meeting.
