Leon Valley planning commission schedules February workshops to review permitted-use table
Summary
The Leon Valley Planning & Zoning Commission voted unanimously Jan. 27 to hold two workshops — Feb. 10 and Feb. 18 at 6 p.m. in the large conference room — to review proposed amendments to Chapter 15, Division 7 (the permitted‑use table); the sessions will be work sessions with a later public hearing.
The Leon Valley Planning & Zoning Commission on Jan. 27 set two workshops for Feb. 10 and Feb. 18 at 6 p.m. to review proposed changes to Chapter 15, Division 7 — the city's permitted‑use table — and directed staff to circulate calendar invitations.
Mister Gallardo, who presented the item and whose role was not specified in the transcript, summarized prior commission meetings and reminded members that the commission had previously agreed to split the review into smaller sessions rather than attempt the entire table in one meeting. "I created a couple of calendars for you guys to look at," he said, and described the workshops as "solely recommendations" that would be finalized in a later regular meeting and public hearing.
The commission debated dates and times, with several members saying an early‑evening start around 6 p.m. would be preferable to later meetings. Speaker 4 moved "that we have our workshop for the review of that Permitted use tables on February the tenth at 6 and February the eighteenth at 6 and the large conference Room," and Speaker 7 seconded. The chair called the vote; commissioners present voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously.
Members discussed the format and public access for the sessions. Several commissioners and staff emphasized that workshops are intended as brainstorming and clarification sessions — not final votes — and that any formal amendments would be advertised and brought back at a regular meeting as a public hearing before forwarding recommendations to city council. Mister Gallardo said staff would send both a physical calendar and an electronic calendar invite with the confirmed dates and additional information.
Two regular members were noted absent in roll call (Pat Martinez and Cynthia Kolbert/Kroger); an alternate had stepped in to ensure quorum. Commissioners were encouraged to review the October materials in advance and to send questions to staff ahead of the workshops so staff can provide clarifications before the sessions.
The meeting adjourned at approximately 7:01 p.m.
