Planning commission recommends text amendment to code definitions
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a technical text amendment to Chapter 19, Section 19-202 (definitions), to be forwarded to the City Commission; staff said the change ties into other ordinances and clarifies protections for religious land uses.
The Goodland Planning Commission voted to recommend that the City Commission approve an ordinance amending Chapter 19, Section 19-202 (definitions) of the city code.
Staff described the amendment as a technical text change to be combined with related ordinances (501 and 502) and said it addresses prior questions about land-use protections for religious institutions under applicable law. Staff noted that the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act provides protections to houses of worship and related uses, and the proposed text amendment clarifies code language accordingly.
A motion to recommend approval was moved and seconded; the commission voted in favor and will forward the recommendation and supporting documentation to the City Commission for final action.
Next steps: staff will include the amendment with related ordinances in the City Commission packet; the City Commission will consider final ordinance language and adoption.
