SUBJ:
J oint City Council - Planning Commission Meeting
The Planning Commission would like to discuss the following with the City
Council:
After the City Council votes on an issue, the Planning Commission would like
follow-up from staff on what happened; and if the City Council alters or amends
the conditions or the recommendation from the Planning Commission, they would
like direction from City Council on whether the Planning Commission should be
doing something different.
Following is a summary of the Planning Staff's work plan that involves the
input of the Planning Commission:
1. Semi-annual: Spring and fall work sessions (training, tours and project
reviews). The Planning Commission recently toured the Powers Crossing
Professional Center/Erhart property.
2. Develop zoning categories to implement the comprehensive plan, specifically
Community Commercial (CC) and Lifestyle or Regional Commercial (RC)
Districts. Receive input on the new zonings. This should be completed in the
summer of 2009. The use of the zoning and any rezoning hearings and
conversion of properties, however, is subject to market conditions.
3. Discuss code amendments through a series of work sessions. Staff drafted
issue papers on farm animals, signage and street lighting. Will hold public
hearings soon on Chapter 18, Subdivisions, and Chapter 20, Zoning.
4. Staff will hold meetings with downtown businesses regarding Community
Commercial (CC) zoning and the potential expansion of the Central Business
District. These meetings provide the downtown community the opportunity to
participate in the potential expansion of the downtown. This could lead to
public hearings rezoning property from General Business District, BG, to
Central Business District, CBD.
5. Does the City Council have any questions/discussion topics for the
Commission?
