Council considers removing planning board from height-bonus eligibility and shifting recommendation to code officer
Summary
A proposed local law would amend the Unified Development Ordinance to remove the planning board from the height-bonus calculation and authorize the code officer to provide eligibility recommendations; the change was introduced for future consideration.
Council members introduced a proposed local law (referred to as local law number 1125) to amend the Unified Development Ordinance section 240-4-4(b). The proposed change would remove the planning board from the height-bonus calculation and authorize the code officer to provide recommendations on eligibility.
A commissioner described the amendment as delegating the eligibility recommendation function to the code officer rather than having the planning board included in the calculation. Councilmembers treated the proposal as an item for future discussion and possible public hearing; no final vote occurred during the meeting.
The proposal will proceed through the city’s standard ordinance process and return to the council for formal consideration.
