Edgewood Planning Commission forwards nonconforming‑uses code change to city council
Summary
The Planning Commission voted to forward amendments to Edgewood Municipal Code Title 18 that set the date for lawful establishment of nonconforming uses to the city incorporation date; the commission approved the item unanimously and will send it to the City Council for final action.
The Edgewood Planning Commission voted unanimously to forward proposed amendments to Title 18 of the Edgewood Municipal Code on nonconforming uses to the City Council for final consideration.
The commission approved a motion to transmit the proposed ordinance, which sets the date for lawful establishment of nonconforming uses to the city’s incorporation year (1996), to the council. Commissioner Jan Furry moved the motion and Commissioner Tom Green seconded; the chair called for the ayes and the motion carried unanimously.
Staff said the draft before the commission is unchanged from the version presented in prior commission meetings in November and December and that the red-line edits in staff packet include submissions by both staff and the city attorney. Commissioners questioned the rationale for selecting a 1996 cut‑off and noted that city council discussion had mentioned an alternative 2002 date tied to the date of available aerial photographs. Commissioner Furry acknowledged the council conversation but said she supports the 1996 date as written.
The commission’s action is a recommendation to the City Council; no final ordinance was adopted at the hearing. The chair said the approved recommendation will be signed and transmitted to the council for its consideration.
