Commission says it will hire consultant to review development ordinance; members urged not to rush amendments
Summary
Commission Chair said the city plans to hire a consultant this year to review the entire development ordinance with public input and recommended against making piecemeal changes to the recently adopted wind-and-solar provisions before that review.
During discussion of the solar variance and ordinance limits, Chair informed the commission that the city is preparing to hire a consultant to review the full development ordinance and to provide public input on any changes.
"We are, this year, getting ready to, hire a consultant to look at the entire development ordinance, which would include, public input on any changes made," the Chair said, adding that it would be confusing to make many changes now while a comprehensive review is pending. A committee member asked about the procedure to amend the ordinance; Chair replied that changes can be made at any time but suggested waiting for the consultant's work before significant amendments.
The item signals the commission's intent to pursue a public-review process for zoning rules and indicates that the commission is likely to defer piecemeal adjustments to the recently adopted wind-and-solar rule until the consultant review is complete.
