AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By: A.Carlson Approved By: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. To consider waiving Planning Commission review of potential Conditional Use Permits <br />and Variances for the Orono Public Works project. <br /> <br />2. Background. Several months ago, the Council directed planning staff to process the approvals of the <br />Orono Public Works facility through the City Council. Development of the site and buildings plans are <br />progressing, and formal approval is anticipated to be requested soon. <br /> <br /> Anticipating that the project will require a variance or a conditional use permit, the Council is asked <br />to formally waive reference to the Planning Commission. Sections 78-122 (Variances) and 78-912 <br />(Conditional Use Permits) authorize this action, with unanimous vote. The effect is the City Council <br />holds the public hearing on the project and does not receive a recommendation from the Planning <br />Commission. <br /> <br /> With approval and confirmation of process, staff anticipates a public hearing on or after October 25th. <br /> <br />3. Public Comment. No comments have been received. <br /> <br />4. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends the Council waive reference to the Planning <br />Commission. <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />City Council, by motion, waiver reference to the Planning Commission for necessary approvals for the <br />proposed Orono Public Works facility. <br /> <br /> Item No.: 3 Date: September 27, 2021 <br />Item Description: Waive Planning Commission Review for Orono Public Works <br />Building Project <br />Presenter: Jeremy Barnhart, AICP <br />Community Development Director <br />Agenda <br />Section: <br />Consent Agenda
