Staff briefs commissioners on noticing rules, on‑site signs with QR codes, and new meeting start time
Summary
City staff explained statutory noticing (minimum 200 feet, commonly 250 feet outreach), new mandatory on‑site sign requirements with QR codes linking to case materials, and an upcoming permanent change moving regular P&Z meetings from 7:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Jennifer Gomez explained noticing practices for land‑use cases: written notices must meet the statutory minimum (staff stated 200 feet) and the city typically notifies out to 250 feet; staff also emphasized the legislative change requiring on‑site signs of a specified size and duration that include QR codes linking to the city website for case information. “The signs that we post have QR codes on that, to help the public, scan it and be able to go to the city's website to access additional information,” Gomez said.
Gomez also notified commissioners of a scheduled meeting‑start change: the commission currently meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m., but starting in April meetings will begin at 6:30 p.m. Staff will distribute reminders and agendas to help commissioners and the public adjust to the new time.
These changes affect public outreach for zoning and plat cases and are intended to standardize notice practices and improve public access to case materials.
