Residents urge earlier public engagement and request cleaner draft zoning documents; one speaker raises decorum concerns
Summary
Public commenters asked the Commission to involve residents earlier in zoning updates and requested a clean, trackable draft of proposed changes; Mike Quinn also raised concerns about meeting decorum and the Commission's receptiveness to public feedback.
During the meeting’s public‑comment periods, Dan Jones, John MacGovern and Rhoda Moore pressed the Commission to involve the public earlier in the zoning update process and asked for a clean (non‑redline) version of the proposed changes so residents can compare the new text against current regulations. The commenters said the April 9 minutes had omitted a land‑use mapping discussion and requested that omission be corrected; the Commission approved an amendment to those minutes.
Separately, Mike Quinn raised concerns about meeting decorum and said he felt the Commission had not been receptive to his prior feedback. Quinn said his intent was to provide valuable input based on experience. The Commission did not make procedural changes during this meeting but noted the requests for clearer drafts and earlier public involvement.
