Transfer certain development decisions from city council to planning commission
In Plain English
The city council currently makes some development decisions that other cities delegate to their planning commissions. This change would move those decisions to the planning commission to streamline the approval process. If approved, developers would get faster decisions on certain projects without waiting for monthly council meetings.
