The City of Pacific held a public hearing July 14 on AB25-113a, an interim official control that will affect development design standards.
Councilmember Helms told the council he wants the city’s design standards "to come forward sooner than later," arguing the council should move swiftly to set clear expectations for new projects. Councilmember Putnam said the city should adopt "reasonable design standards," emphasizing balance between predictability for developers and community expectations. Mayor Kave opened the hearing at 6:02 p.m. and closed it at 6:08 p.m. after no members of the public offered comment.
The hearing was informational in the transcript; no final motion or ordinance text was recorded. Councilmembers asked staff and the planning commission to bring draft standards back for consideration. The transcript does not include the specific language of AB25-113a or a schedule for next steps.
The council’s action moving forward will determine when formal draft standards are released and whether the city will schedule additional hearings or readings.
