SUMMARY:
The intent of this proposed ordinance is to amend Section 152.047 ‘General Plan Amendments’, the deadline date for Major Amendment Applications. Currently, Section 152.047 (D)(1) requires:
“A “major amendment” to the General Plan must be filed prior to June 15th of every year in order to be heard at the one City Council hearing designated each year to review major amendments to the General Plan. Major Amendments shall require an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the City Council.”
The Planning and Zoning Department is proposing that the deadline date being changed to March 15th. To ensure the City complies with the code, all amendments will be made to plans, proposals and any subsequent documents.
CITIZEN REVIEW MEETING:
As required by State Statute and the City Code, a Citizen Review Meeting was held on February 2, 2021, at 6:00 P.M., due to the pandemic, this meeting was conducted via teleconference. Notice of the meeting was published in the local newspaper and the public was able to connect to the meeting or send out questions or comments via email before the meeting. The intent of this meeting was to allow the public to learn about the text amendment, ask questions and/or express any comments or concerns. There were no people from the public connected to the teleconference neither did the City received any comments or questions prior to the meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This proposed ordinance allows for Planning and Zoning to ensure a new deadline date is determined for Major Amendment Applications. Last year there were several applications submitted do to the State Statute that requires for applications to be heard before City Council the same year that they are submitted we only had 6.5 months to process the applications.
Staff recommends approval of Text Amendment Case No. 2020-0794 and Ordinance No. 411
