New 60 Day Time Limit for Planning Approval Process
William Joynes and Allen Barnard reviewed the memo distributed by the City Attorney, and
the impact the new Statute will have on the City and answered questions from the Council.
Linda Loomis, League of Women Voters Representative, was at the meeting and available to
answer questions.
MOVED by Micks, seconded by Johnson and motion carried unanimously to direct staff to 1)
authorize the staff to call public hearings when it sets your meeting agendas; thereby
eliminating one Council consideration of a zoning request; 2) authorize the planning staff to
send letters denying zoning requests where the fee has not been paid and authorizing staff to
extend the deadline for city action for an additional 60 days if necessary and/or if requested
by the applicant; and 3) authorize staff to advise applicants in writing if the information
supplied by the party requesting the approval is insufficient or if the Planning Commission
requires more information or studies which are provided for by ordinance.
It was the Councils intent that if an application is submitted to the Council that would require
action the Council would defer to the new state legislation and hold both considerations at
one meeting. The Council will hold the continued public hearing for second consideration of
Ordinance #131 on July 18, 1995 and wait for the report from the League of Women Voters.
Staff will review the following items and recommend ordinance changes, as outlined in the
city attorney's memo, and provide the report to the Council at their July 11, 1995 meeting:
1) Revise city procedure to provide for one formal public hearing on zoning and related
matters before the Planning Commission and an informal public hearing before the
City Council.
2) Whether the existing PUD process can be considered as two separate approvals: the
preliminary design stage requires one set of information and the general plan approval
stage requires a more complete set of information
3) The staff could have the PUD permit ready for approval at the same meeting that the
Council considers the PUD general plan approval.
