The Lakewood Planning Commission voted to approve and forward Resolution 2026-07, the 2026 annual development regulation amendments, to City Council.
Staff explained the four amendments: consolidate multiple use tables into a single reference in Title 18A; a technical correction for recording short subdivisions and boundary line adjustments; instructing applicants to file appeals through the online permitting portal; and limited exceptions allowing weekend and night construction with approval from the Planning and Public Works director under specified criteria. Commissioner Wallace asked whether boundary amendments addressed easements and road access; staff clarified that chapter 17.38 covers boundary line adjustments while regulations on new roads and access live in Title 12 and other sections.
Commissioner Larson moved to approve the resolution and Commissioner Wallace seconded. The commission voted in favor by voice and the recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for consideration.
