City council approves contract with Clarion Associates; planning staff to form steering committee for Title 15 rewrite
Summary
Staff told the planning commission that city council approved a professional services agreement with Clarion Associates to assess and rewrite Title 15 (zoning and subdivision regulations); staff expects about an 18‑month process with a stakeholder steering committee and periodic public input sessions.
Planning staff reported that the city council approved a professional services agreement with Clarion Associates to assess and rewrite Title 15, the city’s zoning and subdivision code.
Staff said the project will include a kickoff meeting soon and is likely to take about 18 months. The process will include a stakeholder steering committee with planning commission representation, at least one council member, design professionals and community stakeholders; staff asked commissioners to volunteer for one or two seats on the committee. Staff said the steering committee will meet intermittently (staff estimated four to six meetings) during regular business hours, and Clarion will facilitate and present alongside staff. Public input gatherings and online comment opportunities will be scheduled as part of the outreach plan.
Staff framed the steering committee as a forum to vet ideas and provide feedback to the project team and suggested the commission will receive regular reporting during the rewrite. No formal action was recorded beyond the informational report about the contract and the request for volunteers to serve on the steering committee.
