Summary

Staff presented a draft FY27 work plan that lists continued LDR amendments, development‑related landscaping standards and a wetlands reevaluation as near‑term items; commissioners discussed capacity and requested that technical clarifications (medical‑use size, island topics, TDRs) be added or tracked.

Staff presented a draft FY27 work plan that retains several continuing Land Development Regulation (LDR) amendments and proposes two primary new projects for the coming fiscal year: (1) development‑related landscaping standards and (2) a wetlands reevaluation project. The staff memo framed the work plan as a coordination tool with city council and other advisory committees, and said many items will require phased work across multiple months.

Commissioners reviewed the scope and capacity implications and identified additional items of interest — including technical clarifications around medical‑use sizing, TDR (transfer of development rights) program review, and a possible minimum‑density review — and asked staff to add or track those requests in the FY27 schedule. Staff emphasized the draft is not a final adoption tonight and asked commissioners to submit any additional input before the next packet.

Why it matters: The work plan sets what the Planning Commission and staff will prioritize for the year and will guide how limited staff capacity is allocated among regulatory updates, technical clarifications and neighborhood projects.
