Planning committee defers Conway Drive vacation; comprehensive plan moved to public comment
Summary
The Planning, Community and Economic Development Committee deferred consideration of ordinance 2024-12 (vacating Conway Drive) for additional research and moved the city's comprehensive long-range plan into a public-comment phase with potential further committee discussion in November and a possible vote thereafter.
The Planning, Community and Economic Development Committee met Oct. 22 and deferred action on ordinance 2024‑12, which would vacate Conway Drive, after the administration asked for additional research and time to prepare materials. Committee Chair Noble agreed to request time on the ordinance at a later meeting and deferred substantive deliberation until members receive the requested information.
A planning staff representative (Ms. Dean) said she would be "prepared in advance of the next meeting" and ensure council members have what they need on the vacation item. The committee explicitly held the item for a future reading to allow the additional research and information-gathering called for by the administration.
Members also discussed the city's comprehensive long-range plan, described in the meeting as in a near-final draft and posted on the city's website for public comment. Council members were asked to review the draft and submit comments to the planning department; the committee plans to continue discussion at the November meeting and potentially vote in a subsequent meeting, with the administration aiming to finalize and submit the plan for approval in early 2025.
Next steps: Planning staff to distribute requested materials and the committee to revisit the Conway Drive ordinance at the next meeting; the comprehensive plan will remain open for public comment until the committee schedules further action.
