Planning commission approves two zoning code amendments to simplify sign rules and speed hearing scheduling; both pass 3‑0
Summary
The Plain Planning & Zoning Commission voted 3‑0 to approve ZC‑25‑6, which removes redundant sign regulations from the corridor development overlay, and ZC‑25‑7, which changes how public hearings are scheduled to reduce procedural delays.
The Plain Planning & Zoning Commission approved two zoning code amendments at the meeting.
ZC‑25‑6: amendment to Chapter 11.85.02 (corridor development overlay) — Commission members voted 3‑0 to remove sign regulations from the corridor overlay because a new sign code now covers signage across the code. Commissioner Powers moved to approve the amendment; a member seconded. Mayor Carney, Mister Price and Mister Schwenk voted yes.
ZC‑25‑7: amendment to Chapter 11.36 (part 11 of the planning and zoning code) — Commission members voted 3‑0 to amend the code so city council may set public hearings in a way that shortens the overall ordinance enactment timeline. According to staff, the existing process could delay adoption because council must previously set a public hearing that then creates an additional waiting period; the amendment is intended to streamline that scheduling. Mister Powers moved to approve and a member seconded; Mayor Carney, Mister Price and Mister Schwenk voted yes.
Both motions passed unanimously by the three members present. The commission’s action recorded the vote as “3 to 0” for each amendment; no further conditions or amendments were recorded in the transcript.
