Paxton commission tables housekeeping zoning-code changes to August
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission postponed action on three housekeeping zoning-code amendments — updating internal body names, moving permit fees to council resolution, and raising penalties — after commissioners said they had insufficient time to review the draft recommendation.
Attorney Tony Schuering summarized three proposed housekeeping amendments to Paxton’s zoning code and asked the commission to consider a draft recommendation. The changes would replace outdated references to prior boards with “Planning and Zoning Commission,” remove permit-fee language from the code so the city council can set fees by resolution, and raise zoning violation penalties from the current $5 and $200 to a minimum of $100 and up to $750 under the city’s authority.
Commissioners said they had not had sufficient time to review Schuering’s draft recommendation. Commissioner Greg Druschel moved to table the recommendation until the August 11 meeting; Commissioner Susan Satterlee seconded and a voice vote carried with all ayes. Schuering had asked the commission to consider the draft, but the item was postponed to allow fuller review and consideration.
