Summary

After discussion, commissioners expressed support contingent on staff drafting public-hearing language that preserves board review when appropriate; staff agreed to return with a public-hearing item for the Planning & Zoning Commission to recommend to city council.

Commissioners reached informal consensus that repealing the minor-modification provision could reduce overlap and complexity, but several asked staff to explicitly guarantee routing and notice for matters that should involve boards or council. "If there's assurances that that will happen...I would be for it," Commissioner Pollard said after staff described proposed safeguards.

Staff agreed to prepare and present a public-hearing draft of the code amendment for Planning & Zoning to consider and forward a recommendation to city council. No formal vote occurred during the work session; the chair closed the session but left it open pending the regular meeting and the staff follow-up.
