Planning & Zoning Board January 9, 2002 Page 30 APPROVED MINUTES Staff explained the procedure that will be used and that when all pieces of the ordinance have been reviewed by the task force, the entire ordinance will be brought to each Board for discussion. The Planning and Zoning Board will hold a public hearing. Then it will go to the City Council for a first and second reading. Staff stated the Board is asked to elect two Planning and Zoning Board members to serve on the Development Regulations Task Force. Mr. Rafferty asked how long the task force meetings would last.
