Seven Hills council holds public hearing on planning-code rewrite; no comments, hearing adjourned
Summary
The Seven Hills City Council opened a public hearing on Ordinance No. 3-2025, which would replace Part 9 (the planning and zoning code) of the city codified ordinances; no members of the public spoke and the council adjourned the hearing by unanimous roll call.
Presiding officer opened a public hearing at 5:45 p.m. on Ordinance No. 3-2025, citing “Article 5 Section 7(c)(4) of the Charter of the City of Seven Hills,” and said the ordinance would amend Part 9 (planning and zoning code) of the city’s codified ordinances in its entirety.
The hearing drew no public comment. After asking whether any council members or audience members had comments, the presiding officer moved to adjourn the hearing and sought a second. “Do I have a second? Costanza second,” the presiding officer said. Councilmembers Costanza, Mario and Chirazos then voted by roll call to adjourn the hearing; each registered “yes.”
Nut graf: The hearing was limited to providing public notice and receiving comment on a proposed comprehensive rewrite of the city’s planning and zoning code. Because no public testimony was offered and council members made no substantive remarks, no record was made on the merits of the proposed ordinance during this session.
City staff presented the ordinance on the agenda as "Ordinance No. 3-2025 in order to amend Part 9 Planning and Zoning Code of the City of Seven Hills codified ordinances in its entirety for the purpose of clarifying and updating current codes." The transcript does not record details of the specific changes proposed in Part 9, who introduced the ordinance for council consideration, whether the hearing would be continued at a later date, or any timeline for further council action.
Action taken: The council voted to adjourn the public hearing at 5:46 p.m. The motion to adjourn was seconded by Councilmember Costanza and passed by unanimous roll call (Costanza yes; Mario yes; Chirazos yes).
Because no public comments were made and councilmembers did not debate the ordinance, this meeting provided notice but no deliberative record on the substance of Ordinance No. 3-2025. Future council meetings or staff reports will be required to capture any substantive discussion, proposed amendments, or votes on adoption of the ordinance.
