Yet another CodeNEXT review schedule
Friday, March 2, 2018 by Joseph Caterine
The Planning Commission has passed yet another updated CodeNEXT review schedule to accommodate the delayed release of the proposed Land Development Code’s third draft. The motion, which passed unanimously at the Feb. 27 meeting, sets two “mega” public hearings: one on Saturday, April 28, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the second on Tuesday, May 1, from 4 to 10 p.m. Locations for those meetings are to be determined. In addition to setting the dates, the commission also voted to limit each speaker to three minutes with no donations of time permitted, and no speaker will be allowed to speak at both hearings. Commissioners will only be allowed to comment after citizen communication has finished (on both days). It is estimated that 120 people will be able to sign up to speak at the first hearing (on a first-come, first-served basis) and 100 at the second hearing. The commission anticipates submitting its final recommendation on CodeNEXT by the end of May.
