City staff to re-advertise Link, schedule expanded community facilitation before new hearings
Summary
City Community Development staff reported an advertising error for the Link and a rezoning; both items must be re-published and re-heard. Staff outlined a planned 6–8 week, facilitator-led engagement process and provisional dates for Planning Commission and council hearings.
Ton Dang, deputy director of Community Development, told council staff had identified an error with the public notice for the Link project that prevented the notice from running in the local newspaper. "I'm Ton Dang, Deputy Director of Community Development. I'm here, for a little brief moment here to share with you that staff had identified an error with the public notice, for the lehi before it went to Planning Commission," Dang said, explaining the consequence: the Link and a related rezoning at 320 South Main Street must be re-advertised and re-presented to the Planning Commission and City Council.
Dang said the 320 South Main rezoning is scheduled to return to Planning Commission on Oct. 8 and to City Council on Nov. 12. City staff and other presenters emphasized that the republication creates an opportunity to run a facilitated, independent community engagement process. City staff described plans to identify facilitators unaffiliated with the applicant, run online notices and public open houses, and encourage participation from an expanded set of stakeholders. A staff speaker estimated the engagement timeline at about six to eight weeks and said the facilitated input will inform any proffers and future public hearings.
