Commission backs resolution to expand notice radius, standardize public hearing signage
Summary
The commission approved a resolution directing staff to prepare ordinance language increasing mailed notice radius and clarifying public‑sign posting for hearings; the resolution will be finalized and forwarded for governing‑body action.
The Planning and Zoning Commission on June 10 approved a resolution to increase the radius for mailed notice of public hearings and to clarify the county’s sign‑posting requirements for hearings.
Staff presented a draft resolution (identified in the record as Resolution No. 6‑10‑25.9) that inserts additional language into Section 17 (conditional uses), specifically subsection c(5). The change adds a requirement that applicants “post and maintain one or more notice signs provided by the planning and zoning department on the subject property at a publicly visible location,” language the commission had requested to ensure signs are placed where the public can see them. The draft also reflected an earlier change increasing a referenced notice parameter in subsection c(4) from 100 feet to up to 300 feet, per prior discussion.
Planning staff said the draft is ready for finalization and signature and that, once signed by the commission, staff will place the ordinance amendment on a governing‑body agenda for adoption and publication. Commissioner discussion focused on confirming that the resolution captured the changes the commission had requested at an earlier meeting and on leaving color and some sign details to staff discretion. A motion to approve the resolution and authorize staff to finalize it was approved on roll call: Commissioner Rodriguez — yes; Commissioner Brown — yes; Commissioner Maduena — yes; Commissioner Simpson — yes.
Staff will finalize the resolution text and arrange for signatures; the transcript does not record the governing‑body hearing date for the ordinance amendment.
