Planning Commission unanimously forwards code and general plan amendments to City Council
Commissioner Bolivius moved to adopt staff’s recommendation and Commissioner Gordon seconded. The clerk then called the roll for the vote and recorded "yes" responses from members present; the chair announced the motion had "passed unanimously." Staff said the Commission’s recommendation would be included in the Council packet for the Oct. 27 meeting, which staff described as the first reading of the ordinance and associated resolutions.

Motion: "Move the staff recommendation" (moved by Commissioner Bolivius, seconded by Commissioner Gordon). Vote record on the transcript shows the clerk called: "Mister Gordon? Yes. Hammer? Yes. Volhaimis? Yes. Vice chair McKelvey? Yes." The commission’s unanimous vote forwards the package — code amendments covering lot consolidation, PUDs, supportive/transitional housing, agricultural employee housing, inclusionary housing clarifications — and the draft general plan amendments to the City Council for its Oct. 27 meeting.
