Summary
Staff told the Planning Commission the City's 2009 Land Use Code needs updating to match the 2019 Comprehensive Plan; Commissioner Thorin noted the Monroe Riverside District Master Plan includes about twenty-seven pages of recommended amendments that have not yet been incorporated.
Staff presented a plan to update Monroe's 2009 Land Use Code to bring it into alignment with the 2019 Comprehensive Plan and reiterated that Planning Commission decisions must rest on adopted policies, approval criteria and findings rather than individual preference.
Commissioner Thorin highlighted the Monroe Riverside District Master Plan, noting it contains approximately twenty-seven pages of recommended Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Code amendments that have not yet been incorporated into city documents. Commissioners were encouraged to review both the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Use Code and identify inconsistencies or areas requiring change.
Staff said the Planning Commission's role will include recommending policy updates and ensuring future land-use decisions implement adopted Comprehensive Plan policies. No formal actions were taken at the meeting.
