Planning commission sets Sept. 29 work session to vet zoning, landscape and land-development amendments

Planning staff asked the commission to schedule a work session to consider three significant ordinance amendments — zoning overlay districts, updates to the landscape and open-space ordinance, and changes to the land-development manual — and proposed two candidate dates. Commissioners agreed on Tuesday, Sept. 29 at 4:00 p.m. as the preferred time for a roughly two-hour session and moved to amend the commission meeting schedule to add a special call meeting on that date.

Staff noted the work session will include technical presentations from GIS and community-development staff, that the stormwater advisory board will weigh in on a stormwater-related portion of the land-development manual, and that administration will coordinate participation by council leadership without creating a quorum problem. A motion to approve the special-call meeting on Sept. 29 at 4 p.m. passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
