Planning Commission asks staff to schedule study sessions on comprehensive plan and subdivision rules

Commissioners at the April 21 meeting asked planning staff to schedule study sessions to review the draft comprehensive plan and subdivision regulations and to arrange a coordination meeting with the mayor and planning staff.

Planning Commission Chairman Paul Schware opened a brief discussion asking commissioners what study sessions they would like scheduled. An unnamed commissioner requested a study session on the new comprehensive plan; several commissioners said staff turnover had delayed the sessions and asked staff to reschedule. Staff agreed to coordinate a meeting that would include the mayor and planning staff so commissioners can receive updated materials and a plan for future study sessions.

No formal motion was recorded to set specific dates; the discussion resulted in a direction to staff to schedule the sessions and notify commissioners when dates are confirmed. Commissioners said the sessions should cover the comprehensive plan and subdivision regulations and noted the need to review any outstanding checklist or procedural issues after recent staff turnover.

Ending: Staff and commissioners asked that proposed study-session topics be circulated in advance so meeting materials can be prepared.
