Public Hearing followed by discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Text Amendment Case No. 2015-0655, This is a request by the City of San Luis for a text amendment to the San Luis City Code, Zoning Regulations §152.026(G)(3) from four (4) votes to a majority of a quorum in order for the Planning and Zoning Commission pass a motion. 

Staff is recommending that the Zoning Regulations in City Code, §152.026(G) (3), requiring four (4) affirmative votes to pass a motion be amended to require only 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 with a quorum of four (4) 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. 

The Citizen Review Meeting was held on January 5, 2016 at City Hall Council Chambers at 6 PM. The intent of this meeting was to allow the public to learn about the project, ask questions, and express comments. There were no members of the public present. 

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.
