HomeMy WebLinkAboutWS Item 02 - Tabling Requests Scheduled for Joint Public HearingMEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
SCOTT WILLIAMS, DEVELOPMENT SE DIRECTOR
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 7, 2014
SUBJECT: WORKSHOP — LIMITATION ON THE TABLING OF REQUESTS
SCHEDULED FOR A JOINT PUBLIC HEARING
As the ordinance is written, there are no specific guidelines established relative to the
tabling of a request that has been placed on the Council's and Planning and Zoning
Commission's joint public hearing agenda. Currently, an applicant can make a request to
table in writing prior to the meeting or during the actual public hearing for the particular
case in question. If the request to table has been granted, the case is postponed to a
particular date and the public is informed of what has taken place verbally. No further
action is taken on the agenda item until the rescheduled date.
Council Member Spencer has requested consideration of placing a limitation on the
number of requests that can be made to table a case scheduled to be heard by the Council
and the Planning and Zoning Commission during the joint public hearing process —
specifically, no more than one request to table not to exceed 30 days in duration.
If there is a desire by Council to limit the number of requests that can be made by an
applicant to table a particular item scheduled for a joint public hearing, specific wording
could be placed in the zoning ordinance in Section 67, Amendments.
