Planning commission votes to recommend downtown and code amendments to city council
Summary
After the public hearing, the planning commission moved and seconded a recommendation to the city council to adopt the downtown master plan and municipal code amendments and recorded unanimous affirmative roll call votes; staff will present the package to council in August 2025.
The commission considered staff’s package of municipal code and downtown master plan amendments and staff’s recommendation to find the project exempt under CEQA sections 15301 and 15305 and to forward a resolution recommending council adoption.
A motion was made to recommend approval of the proposed amendments and, after a second, the record shows affirmative roll call responses from the commissioners present and the commission recommended the package be forwarded to the city council. Staff said the package is scheduled for presentation to the council in August 2025.
Transcript language about who made and seconded the motion was inconsistent in the record (one staff speaker read "Commissioner Cotton moves" while a separate statement listed the motion as coming from Commissioner Patton with a second from Commissioner Waddell). The commission roll call read the names of seven commissioners and the record captures affirmative "yes" responses for each name called.
Action at a glance: • Motion: recommend approval of proposed municipal code and downtown master plan amendments (Item 8C) • Procedural finding: staff recommended CEQA exemptions (15301, 15305) • Commission action: recommended approval (unanimous roll call recorded) • Next step: staff to place the ordinance package on the city council docket for first and second readings, anticipated in August–November 2025.
