Staff previews vertiports discussion and notes no May rezoning cases
Summary
Staff told the commission there are no rezoning applications for May and previewed a council‑initiated text amendment on vertiports that would require a special use permit and come back to the commission in June for review.
During departmental updates, planning staff said there are no rezoning applications scheduled for May and that the next meeting in June will include another text amendment initiated by the city council on vertiports (facilities for electric vertical‑takeoff and landing operations).
Staff said the vertiports item is preliminary: the Federal Aviation Administration has not approved manufacturers or detailed standards, but the city intends to require a special use permit so any proposed vertiport would come before the Planning Commission and city council for project‑level review. Staff asked commissioners to watch a forthcoming council discussion and noted the item will be discussed at a June work session and then likely before the commission in June.
