Commission approves ordinance to centralize zoning fees in Board of Aldermen—s annual schedule
Summary
Smithville—s planning commission voted unanimously to approve a housekeeping ordinance that removes individual fee references from multiple zoning code sections and consolidates them into the Board of Aldermen's annual schedule of fees; staff said the change does not alter the board's authority to set fees.
The Smithville Planning Commission on Aug. 24 voted to approve an ordinance that moves fee references out of multiple sections of the zoning code and into the Board of Aldermen—s annual schedule of fees.
Planning staff described the amendment as a housekeeping measure that consolidates fee language and directs readers of the online code to a single schedule of fees. "This is a purely a housekeeping measure," Jack said during the public hearing, adding that the change does not change board authority to set or change fees.
There were no public comments on the ordinance, and the commission approved the measure by roll call. Staff said the ordinance will appear on the Board of Aldermen agenda on Sept. 17 for final action.
The ordinance as presented updates cross‑references in the zoning code and is intended to reduce duplication. The commission—s approval was unanimous.
