Title:
PUBLIC HEARING: Consider Ordinance #22-09 Amending City Code Section 117-56 Regarding Easement Vacations
Purpose/Background:
The purpose of this case is to revise the procedure of an easement vacation from requiring an ordinance to a resolution.
In the City Code, an ordinance typically requires three meetings; one public hearing at the Planning Commission meeting, and two additional meetings with City Council. The proposed change will require one public hearing at a City Council meeting; at which time, the resolution would be approved or denied.
This code amendment would decrease the number of meetings required from two to one. This proposal comes from feedback received by City Staff during a 2021 City Council work session and attempts to increase efficiencies in City processes.
