Public Hearing – (25-00575) – Development Code Amendments – Proposed updates to the Development Code. – Alan Parkinson (Action)
Conflict of Interest/Ex parte Conversation: Vice Chairperson Kempton asked the Commissioners to disclose any conflicts of interest or conversations held outside of this meeting relative
to this particular subject.
Presentation:
Administrator Parkinson shared that these are the same changes to the Development Code that have been reviewed at the last two City Council and Planning and Zoning Work Meetings. Only
the changes requested during those work meetings have been made.
The group discussed the process for the changes, including the official public hearing and the Commission’s ability to choose to vote on each section individually.
Commissioner Kempton questioned why mid-sized daycares were not permitted in high density zones. Administrator Parkinson responded that it is hard to have a daycare in a small apartment,
unless the complex sets aside a facility for the daycare. He explained that this does not prevent someone from babysitting the neighbors kids.
Vice Chairperson Kempton opened the public input portion of the hearing at 6:50 pm.
Favor: none
Neutral: none
Opposed: none
