Lodi Zoning Board carries Lee Hoddy application to May 20 for full seven-member review
Summary
Facing a short-handed panel, the Lodi Zoning Board agreed April 15 to carry an application for Lee Hoddy until May 20 and granted a waiver of time so the applicant can appear before a full seven-member panel.
The Lodi Zoning Board on April 15 agreed to carry an application by Lee Hoddy to its May 20 meeting so the case can be reviewed by a full seven-member panel.
The Chair opened the item and the Presenter told the board “there are 2 issues” and that certain deviations would require five affirmative votes; with only six members present the Presenter said it was in the applicant’s interest to await a full panel. The board indicated members present were willing to waive time to allow the hearing to be rescheduled, and the Chair confirmed the application will be heard at the May 20 meeting.
Why it matters: zoning variances and deviation requests sometimes require a supermajority or specific quorum; the board’s decision to carry the matter preserves the applicant’s ability to have the request considered by a complete body rather than to proceed with a reduced panel. The board did not take testimony or make a substantive decision on the merits at the April 15 meeting.
What’s next: The application for Lee Hoddy is scheduled for the Lodi Zoning Board’s May 20 meeting. The Chair asked staff to ensure the seven-member panel is present for that hearing.
