Commission discusses zoning-ordinance schedule; public hearing set for June 17
Summary
Commissioners discussed outstanding consultant edits to the zoning ordinance, confirmed a May 27 consultant return deadline and scheduled a planning commission public hearing on the proposed final draft for June 17, with city commission readings later in July.
Commissioners reviewed the schedule for the zoning-ordinance rewrite and the consultant’s return timeline. Staff said the consultant expected to return edits by May 27 and the planning commission public hearing for the proposed final draft is scheduled for June 17; the city commission first and second readings are expected to follow in July.
Commissioners asked for clarity on substantive changes and whether the commission would see a proposed final draft before the public hearing. Staff said the consultant and staff would coordinate and provide a draft in advance where possible, but noted the city attorney will also need time for review. Commissioners discussed the possibility of adding a code amendment (Section 34.1.44) to address utility-cabinet placement relative to potential future sidewalks, noting the planning commission can forward such a change to the city commission if the amendment is considered appropriate.
Members emphasized the need to review substantive language changes, not just formatting or grammar, before the commission releases a proposed final draft for public comment.
