The amendment proposes a reduction from the existing seven member planning <br /> commission to a five member commission. With the recent resignation of Chair Kempf there are five <br /> regular planning commission members, and one regular member is on a leave of absence until next <br /> spring. The proposal to move from a seven member body to a five member body was discussed <br /> recently at a Council work session. Staff has prepared a draft Ordinance reflecting those changes. <br /> Additionally, as the timing seemed appropriate, the requirement for residence of commissioners in <br /> specific areas of the city is proposed to be removed. The Council may continue to appoint <br /> commissioners from specific areas of the city however the requirement to do so will be eliminated <br /> from the Code. <br /> Planning Commission Recommendation <br /> Chapter 74 is not located within the Zoning Code. Planning Commission review and public hearings <br /> are not required for amendments to this Chapter. <br /> Planning Staff Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends approval of the Code Amendment per the attached Ordinance. <br /> COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br /> Adopt or amend the attached Ordinance. <br />
