Planning Commission Minutes
April 26, 2016
PRESENT: Commissioners Bellemare, Schafer, Larkin, Murphy, Williams, Staff Liaison
Moretto, Council Liaison Harris
ABSENT: Commissioners Alexander
The meeting was called to order at 7:15 p.m. by Chair Larkin.
The minutes of the March 22nd, 2016 meeting of the Planning Commission were approved.
AGENDA:
1. Zoning Review
Staff presented and explained the need for a zoning review process for projects that could
violate zoning code. Staff requested feedback from the Planning Commission regarding a
verification process that ensures that codes are not violated. There was concern that this
might add additional steps that might not be necessary and that we should address issues
that are called to our attention when there is a complaint. It was recommended that staff
develop a form and that the commission revisit this issue later in the summer.
INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Building Heights Ordinance hearing next month.
Commissioner Murphy presented his concerns regarding the methods that are used to notify
residents of a public hearing. The commissioner’s position was that notice should go to all
residents and not just the owners. The commissioner requested this be put on a future Planning
Commission agenda. Staff recommended consulting with the City Administrator on the issue.
Community Forum: None
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
