Planning commission schedules public hearing on new retaining-wall and sidewalk code

The Millville Planning Commission reviewed proposed language related to the sidewalk code (Chapter 17.40.J) and placed a public hearing on a new retaining-wall code and the sidewalk code on a future agenda. The minutes state: "Public Hearing for new retaining wall code and sidewalk code." The commission indicated the item will return for public hearing at a subsequent meeting.

The transcript included portions of Millville City Code Title 17 that detail residential zone standards — the Planning Commission’s review of sidewalk/retaining-wall language is intended to align local construction and pedestrian-infrastructure standards with the codified zoning framework. No final vote on code changes occurred at the Aug. 6 meeting; the item is scheduled for further public review.
