SUMMARY:
The intent of this proposed ordinance is to provide less delay, more efficiency and better service to people with Planning and Zoning cases. Currently, Section 152.040 (D) requires that "The Planning and Zoning Commission shall hold regularly scheduled public hearings to receive and review public input on those items required by this chapter"
To be sure the city was in compliance with the code, this has been interpreted to mean public hearings could only be scheduled on Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meetings which are on the second Tuesday of the month. If the Commission holds a Special Meeting on another day, public hearings could not be held on those days.
Section 152.040 (E) requires that "The City Council shall hold public hearings, to act upon those items as required by this chapter, at their regularly scheduled meetings."
To be sure the city was in compliance with the code, this has been interpreted to mean public hearings could only be scheduled on City Council regular meetings which are on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month. If Council holds a Special Meeting on another day, public hearings for Planning and Zoning cases could not be held on those days. This causes delays to the applicants and also for staff-initiated text amendments to the Zoning Regulations.
CITIZEN REVIEW MEETING:
The Citizen Review Meeting was held on February 6, 2018, at City Hall Council Chambers at 6:00 P.M. 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 in regards to this case.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing for this item on their Regular Meeting of February 13, 2018, at the City Hall Multipurpose Room. The Commission recommended approval of this request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 379. This proposed ordinance allows for Planning and Zoning cases to proceed to hold a public hearing at either a regular or special meeting of the Commission and City Council.
