Summary

Planning and zoning staff proposed reducing the commission from 12 members to 9, allowing meetings up to four hours, and keeping a five-year residency requirement for appointees; the board noted bylaws require a presentation one month before any approval.

Ryan Christensen presented proposed changes to the Planning and Zoning Commission bylaws. The proposals would reduce commission membership from 12 to 9, allow meetings to last up to four hours, and retain a five-year residency requirement for new appointees.

Christensen said the commission views a 12-member board as unrealistic and that bylaws cannot be approved at the same meeting; bylaws require a presentation at least one month before approval. Commissioners asked for the required presentation and additional time for review before any vote.
