Commission approves consent agenda; reappoints chair and vice chair and announces new planning director
Summary
The commission approved routine consent items including minutes, land-use and annexation recommendations, and a Panda Express site plan; during other business the commission confirmed officers would remain in place and staff announced new planning director Justin Simon will start and appear at a future meeting.
The Columbia City Planning Commission approved its consent agenda, which included the December minutes, future land-use classification and zoning recommendations for properties near Jacobs Mill Pond Road, an annexation request, and a major site plan for a proposed Panda Express at 225–227 Harbison Boulevard.
A motion to approve the consent agenda was made, seconded and passed by voice vote; the transcript records the motion and the voice vote but does not list individual roll-call votes.
During other business, members conducted officer nominations for chair and vice chair. The transcript records that nominees were submitted; the commission announced the current chair and vice chair would remain in their positions. The transcript includes inconsistent spellings of the chair's name (appearing as both "Mister Cohn" and later as "Mister Cohen"); because spellings were inconsistent in the record the article does not assert a single corrected spelling. Staff also announced that Justin Simon has joined the department as the new director but could not attend the meeting and will appear next month.
The commission adjourned after a motion to adjourn was made and approved by voice vote.
