Land Use committee amends and re-refers Cortez rezoning; multiple items deferred to Jan. 6
The Land Use and Zoning Committee opened its agenda meeting at 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 2, where members set procedural dispositions for multiple zoning items, including an amendment and re-referral of bill 12025487, described by the chair as a friendly rezoning on Cortez.

Chair announced that item 12025487 would be "amend and re-refer," and clarified, "The amendment's gonna remove the LI request." The committee scheduled that amended disposition rather than taking final action on the rezoning at the agenda meeting.

Committee members also reviewed the status of a string of additional items. The chair said item 22025488 would be re-referred; items in the 2025-630 and 2025-675 range were listed as open/continue; item 2025-724 was deferred; and item 2025-757 remained open/continue. A block of items identified as 2025-823 through 2025-831 and related agenda numbers were explicitly deferred until Jan. 6.

When a member of the public present for item 1 asked whether questions would be handled at the agenda meeting, Speaker 2 asked for clarification and the chair advised the attendee that it would be best to have questions answered after the agenda meeting. The chair also asked Mr. Harden to speak and acknowledged a request to defer item 262025845; the chair said, "We will defer that."

Committee members agreed to reorder the meeting to take item 1 first and then return to item 7 to accommodate a district council member's schedule. Multiple items were listed as ex parte/open/close/move as part of routine agenda housekeeping; no formal roll-call votes or final adoptions were recorded during this agenda-setting session.

The committee adjourned after completing the agenda meeting scheduling and procedural confirmations.

What the committee did not do: The agenda meeting did not record final votes or enact ordinances; it set procedural dispositions (amend and re-refer, deferral, withdrawal) and rescheduled a number of items for future consideration. Specific motion makers and seconds were not recorded in the agenda meeting transcript.
