Alter proposes change to CodeNEXT process
Monday, June 19, 2017 by Nina Hernandez
In a special Father’s Day post to the City Council Message Board, Council Member Alison Alter alerted her colleagues to a change she is proposing to an item on Thursday’s agenda. Item 43 is a resolution tweaking the review process for the Land Development Code rewrite. Alter would like to clarify that both land use commissions – Zoning and Platting and Planning – will be able to review and make suggestions on the second and third drafts. “It was always the intention for both of our Land Use Commissions to have that responsibility, however the resolution will be clarified to make that explicit,” Alter wrote. “I anticipate that the amendment to the resolution will be to substitute ‘Land Use Commissions’ for ‘Planning Commission’ in the resolution.”
