2. WORKSHOP
o Legal framework and procedures of Planning Commission and City Council in
land use decisions.
Tim Ramis reviewed the legal framework and procedures of Planning
Commission and City Council in land use decisions. The major points being
the 120 day LOCO deadline and the ability of the City Council to affirm,
reverse, modify, or remand back to Planning Commission any land use
decision which is appealed. On Legislative actions, which determine the
rules that will be used, ultimately these are City Council decisions as
long as they are within the land use goals. On Quasi-Judicial, the
Planning Commission reaches its decision based upon an adopted set of
rules (the Community Development Code) and adopts findings. When the
decision is appealed to City Council, they may affirm, reverse, modify, or
remand back to Planning Commission. Currently, the City Council has been
allowing additional testimony in order to modify decisions to stay within
the 120 day deadline. He noted also that Council has no more he "discretion"
within the Code than the Commission. Both bodies apply same
set of
rules. They may reach different conclusions because of the weight that
they give to evidence. This must be expected.
o Building a working relationship between the Council and Commissioners.
Mary Himmel, facilitator, asked what can be done to make the system work
as effectively as possible? What would the Council like to see from the
Planning Commission and what does the Planning Commission need from City
Council?
Lengthy discussion followed regarding specific issues and the roles and
responsibility of the Planning Commission versus the City Council. Issues
which need to be addressed were:
1. Communication between City Council and Planning Commission. The
Planning Commission needs to make findings which fully articulate the
reasons for their decision. Also, the Planning Commission should
repeat in their decision, in summary, why the Commission decided as
they did. This would help with the poor quality of transcripts.
(Suggestion to investigate the use of lapel mikes.]
2, City Council needs to communicate back to the Planning Commission the
result (final order) and the reason for their decision. This has
been initiated with positive results.
