Loading...
Summary
Deborah Eggleston was elected chair; the commission approved meeting minutes and staff previewed upcoming legislative rezoning outreach (open houses March 10 and March 17) and scheduling notes. Commissioners requested Bob’s Rules materials and confirmed attendance polling cadence.
At the start of the meeting commissioners nominated and voted to elect Deborah Eggleston as chair after two ballots. The commission also approved the January 6 and February 3, 2026 meeting minutes by electronic vote (both passed 5-0).
Staff previewed upcoming public outreach on a legislative rezoning that will be carried out in phases, starting with the northern neighborhoods. Staff announced two public open-house opportunities: an in-person event on March 10 at Bison Ridge Recreation Center and a virtual meeting on March 17. A working map and a project web page will track proposed zoning changes; staff said the legislative rezoning is expected to come forward for public hearings in the fall.
Commissioners discussed attendance-polling cadence; staff will continue to solicit attendance availability two weeks before meetings and follow up a week before publication of the agenda. Commissioners requested printed Bob’s Rules materials and a short cheat sheet for their binders.
Deputy Director Heather Bidlock announced a staffing change: promotion from planning manager to deputy director of Community Development and will continue to support the commission. The chair adjourned the regular meeting at 7:58 p.m.
