Planning Commission -

Agendas, Minutes and Public Hearing Notices

Agendas for Planning Commission meetings are posted here as soon as they are prepared, generally, the Monday before the Commission meeting. 

 

Minutes are posted here once they have been approved by the Planning Commission, generally the month after the meeting occurs.

 

The third tab below provides notice of upcoming public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council and provides access to materials associated with that public hearing.

The Planning Commission generally meets the last Monday of the month (due to the Memorial Day holiday the May meeting will be on Tuesday, May 28).  The deadline for submitting applications for the May meeting is Friday, May 3. 

 

The Planning Department sends out an email with the Planning Commission agenda on a monthly basis. If you would like to receive the agenda delivered to your in-box, let us know.  Send us an email and we will add you to the distribution list.  We promise your name and email address will stay secure.

 

Agendas for the most recent six months are available below.   There was no meeting in December.  For older documents, please contact the Planning Department.  Usually, the entire packet will be posted, rather than just the agenda.  Note that the packet files are large (about 5 Mb) and downloading may be quicker if you right click on the link below and "save target as."

 

More information on each item on the agenda may be found at the Public Hearing Notices tab above.

This tab contains links to minutes from the past six months.  For older documents, please contact the Planning Department.

The Planning Commission has initiated legislative amendments to amend the Land Use and Development Code.  The Code currently allows Recreational Vehicle Parks and Campgrounds in the Interchange Development Zone and the Industrial Agriculture Zone.  However the Code does not contain any design or operational standards that RV Parks or Campgrounds must meet.  The Planning Commission is proposing the adoption of such standards.  In addition, the amendments would change the definition of Recreational Vehicle, to allow such a unit be used as a residence.

 

The Planning Commission's public hearing was held on Monday, January 28.  Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission requested some changes be made.  The Planning Commission reviewed the revised amendment at their February 25 meeting and forwarded the amendments to the City Council.  The City Council will hold a second public hearing prior to voting on whether to enact the amendments.  The City Council hearing on the proposed amendment was held on March 18.  Following the hearing the City Council approved the first consideration of Ordinance 1029, with some modifications.  The second consideration of the ordinance will be on April 1.

 

In addition to the proposed Code amendments, the links below provide copies of various staff reports to the Planning Commission, the draft Ordinance for consideration by the City Council and the staff report for the City Council hearing.
