Action Requested:
Motion

ITEM:

Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Second Reading of Ordinance No. 344.  An ordinance of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona, pertaining to the Planning and Zoning Commissioner's requirement as to the number of votes to pass a motion by amending the San Luis City Code §152.026(G)(3) from four (4) votes to a majority of a quorum; repealing any conflicting provisions; and providing for severability. (John Starkey, Zoning Administrator)

A. Approval of Second Reading of Ordinance No. 344 by title only.
B. Approval and adoption of Ordinance No. 344

SUMMARY:

Staff is recommending that the Zoning Regulation in City Code, §152.026(G)(3), requiring four (4) affirmative votes to pass a motion be amended to require only a majority of the quorum to pass a motion.  The Planning and Zoning Commission is made up of seven (7) members.  Applications before the Planning and Zoning Commission have been delayed under the current regulation.  Because even when four (4) members were present, they have been unable to pass a motion due to the requirement that all four (4) must vote the same under the current regulation.  Making this change will remedy the delays due to the lack of four (4) votes when there is a majority of the quorum.  This change will allow three (3) votes to pass a motion with four (4) or five (5) members present.

RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:

A. I MOVE TO APPROVE THE SECOND READING OF ORDIANCE NO. 344 BY TITLE ONLY.

B. I MOVE TO APPROVE AND ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 344.
