SUMMARY STATEMENT:
During the April 13th Regular Meeting of the Planning & Zoning Commission, the commissioners present voted to approve a recommendation to City Council to rezone Lot 1C, USS 197, Plat 2007-15 from Rural Residential to Commercial Residential. This decision was made based on findings that were different from the proposed staff findings included in the agenda packet for the meeting.
When staff moved to place the rezone ordinance first reading on the City Council agenda, with a summary of the commission discussion regarding findings, the City Clerk requested a more formal report to Council. Staff has prepared this draft report based on the comments made by commissioners during the meeting on April 13, 2022.
When making a decision regarding an amendment to the current zoning map, the Planning & Zoning Commission must report in writing to the City Council on the three topics described in 17.54.030 below.
The commission should review the included code provisions and evaluate the proposed findings report to determine whether it accurately reflects the basis for the decision to recommend approval of the rezone during the meeting on April 13th. If staff has missed any points discussed in their draft, commissioners are encouraged to motion to amend the draft report prior to approval. Staff has included the agenda packet from the original meeting for your reference. The audio from the meeting is also available on the city agenda website.
