Committee outlines plan to review comprehensive codes and zoning redraft compiled by consultant
Summary
Members said a private drafter has compiled a final codes and zoning document. The committee plans a chapter‑by‑chapter public review, with the drafter (Rick Gregory) available to answer questions, and suggested forming a subcommittee to oversee the review.
Committee members discussed a comprehensive revision to the county’s codes and zoning prepared under the supervision of a consultant (Rick Gregory). The draft — described as a single, compiled legal document intended to be introduced as enforceable code — will be reviewed chapter by chapter once the final compiled document is available.
Members said the compilation aims to produce a legal draft that would stand up in court and that, because of the document’s length and complexity, the commission should review it slowly and methodically. The committee suggested a subcommittee or work sessions to parse the draft section‑by‑section and to have the drafter attend meetings to answer detailed questions. One member emphasized the need for broad review because earlier controversial items had been returned to be revised and some previously proposed changes had been voted down.
No final code changes were adopted at the meeting. The committee instructed staff to circulate the compiled draft to commissioners and to schedule chapter‑by‑chapter review sessions and possible subcommittee oversight prior to forwarding any sections to the full commission for vote.
