Comprehensive plan action delayed until zoning-code amendment and ZBA review
Summary
The committee deferred action on the City of Byron comprehensive plan because state statute requires review by a planning commission; the City lacks a standalone planning commission and must amend the zoning code to assign those duties to the ZBA. Attorney Aaron Szeto said the item will go to the ZBA before the Council acts.
The Administrative Committee did not act on the City of Byron comprehensive plan after Attorney Aaron Szeto explained state law requires a planning commission review. Szeto told the committee that "a comprehensive plan must be reviewed by a planning commission by statute. The City does not have a standalone planning commission." Administrator Patricia Diduch said no action was needed at this meeting.
Szeto and Diduch said the city intends to amend the zoning code to grant planning-commission duties to the existing Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). Diduch said the text amendment will go before the ZBA in May; the committee left the item on the agenda for future consideration. No votes were taken on the plan itself at the committee level.
