RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission review the revised Cortez Land Use Code, listen to public comments and if ready, recommend that the City Council repeal in its entirety the City of Cortez Land Use Code and adopt an updated City of Cortez Land Use Code.

If the Planning and Zoning Commission so chooses to follow the recommendation of Staff, a possible motion is as follows:

I move that the Planning and Zoning Commission adopt Resolution No. 3, Series 2025, a resolution recommending that the Cortez City Council repeal in its entirety the current City of Cortez Land Use Code and adopt an updated City of Cortez Land Use Code as presented in the Planning and Zoning Commission packet for tonight's meeting.
