Commission forwards clerical land‑use text amendment (ch. 17.56) to City Council
Summary
The commission unanimously forwarded staff‑proposed clerical edits to chapter 17.56 (conditional uses and zones) to the City Council to clarify delegation of review authority to the community economic development director; staff and the city attorney requested the edit to improve legal clarity.
The Murray City Planning Commission on July 2 voted unanimously to forward proposed clerical amendments to chapter 17.56 of the Murray City land‑use ordinance to the City Council.
Staff explained the changes are follow‑up edits to earlier text amendments and were requested by the city attorney to make clear that the planning commission shall review conditional use permit applications except for specified exceptions that the community economic development director (or a designee) will review. Staff said the edits will clarify delegation of review authority and improve legal clarity and consistency.
After brief discussion and no public comment, commissioners voted to forward the recommended text changes to the City Council; staff said the Council would consider the matter at a future meeting.
Next steps: staff will transmit the recommended ordinance text to City Council for formal consideration at a future date.
