Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Subject: Informal Public Hearing on Various Amendments to the Zoning Code At the February 27,2006 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission will be holding an informal public hearing on various changes to the Zoning Code that have been in the making over the past year. Staff has made several changes that were suggested at the February .13, 2006 Planning Commission meeting.
