Planning commission to review Appendix A of city ordinance code to encourage development
Summary
The New Melle Planning and Zoning Commission agreed to review Appendix A of the City Ordinance Code to explore revisions aimed at making the city more attractive to growth; City Clerk Gay will consult the city attorney for guidance.
The Planning and Zoning Commission of New Melle agreed April 1 to begin a review of Appendix A of the City Ordinance Code to consider changes intended to make the city more attractive to growth. Chairman Stefanko opened the agenda item following discussion at a prior work session on the city’s future development.
The minutes state that City Clerk Gay will reach out to Attorney Martin for legal advice and direction on the proposed review. The commission did not record any specific revisions, timelines, or votes on particular code changes in the minutes.
Why it matters: amendments to Appendix A could alter zoning standards or permitted uses and would affect developers, property owners and the city’s growth strategy. The minutes do not specify budgetary impacts, a public-review schedule, or a target date for bringing any draft revisions back to the commission.
Next steps: the clerk’s consultation with the city attorney is the immediate action recorded; the commission is expected to consider any legal guidance and potential draft language at a future meeting, though no date was specified in the minutes.
