Staff outlines district planning engagement schedule and LMO amendments timetable
Summary
Staff told the commission that community engagement for four districts will begin in January and February with district-level meetings and online surveys; priority amendments to the Land Management Ordinance are scheduled for introduction in December with a public hearing in January, and Code Studio will assist with a full overhaul in 2025.
Shay, a staff member, briefed the Planning Commission on the district planning process and upcoming Land Management Ordinance (LMO) work, asking commissioners to help shape public engagement and noting expected timelines.
"So, 4 districts, we are getting to a very exciting point with the project," Shay told the commission, outlining plans to hold district-level meetings in January and February, likely one meeting per week for each district, with mailed invitations to property and business owners and publicly noticed sessions for the general public. Shay also said the team intends to run an online survey for each district to gather broader input.
On the LMO, Shay said priority amendments will be introduced in December and a public hearing scheduled for January. Staff is working with Code Studio on a fuller LMO overhaul that will follow the district recommendations in 2025. Shay asked commissioners to provide questions in advance when packets are distributed so staff can ensure relevant subject-matter staff attend and answer technical questions.
What happens next: staff will finalize district meeting schedules, circulate those dates to the commission, and report results from the engagement back to the commission; the December introduction and January public hearing were presented as staff's current timeline. No vote or formal action took place during the briefing.
