Paramount Hill Plaza subdivision to auto-approve after 30 days due to lack of quorum
Summary
Planning staff told the Opelika Planning Commission the Paramount Hill Plaza preliminary plat will be approved by default 30 days after its prior public hearing because the Commission lacked a quorum to vote tonight; staff recommended against a special meeting given only minor outstanding items.
The Opelika Planning Commission was told the Paramount Hill Plaza preliminary plat, which held a public hearing at a prior meeting, will be approved automatically 30 days after that earlier hearing because the Commission did not have a quorum to act tonight.
City staff explained that state law starts a 30-day clock on subdivisions after a hearing; without sufficient members present the Commission cannot take formal action and the plat would take effect unless the city schedules a special called meeting. Staff recommended against a special meeting, saying outstanding comments on the plat were limited and minor.
The Commission did not vote on the plat tonight. Staff said the option remains to call a special meeting, but staff’s position was that the default 30-day approval was acceptable given the scope of remaining items.
