Summary
At a July 29 special meeting the Salisbury Planning and Zoning Commission discussed comments and a schedule for adopting the draft Plan of Conservation and Development; commissioners approved the agenda and several sets of minutes, tabled two sets, and adjourned at 8:37 p.m.
On July 29, 2024, the Salisbury Planning and Zoning Commission met remotely and reviewed the draft Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD). Chair Dr. Michael Klemens provided an overview of the schedule leading to adoption, and commissioners discussed submitted comments and possible changes to the draft; no formal vote on the POCD was recorded in the meeting minutes.
The session opened with a procedural vote: Bob Riva moved to approve the meeting agenda, Martin Whalen seconded, and the commission approved the agenda 5-0. The commission then addressed prior meeting minutes. The minutes of June 3, 2024, and June 17, 2024, were not ready for review and were tabled. The commission approved the minutes of July 1, 2024 (motion by Bob Riva, seconded by Martin Whalen) with a recorded vote of 3-0-2, with Vice Chair Cathy Shyer and Alternate Member Dr. Danella Schiffer recorded as abstaining.
