and Comprehensive Plan Amendment Process. In October, 2012 the Commission will review
Residential Development Standards in Mixed Use Zones, Accessory Dwelling Units and RV's
in Commercial/Mixed Use Areas.
Planning Manager Kuhta also wanted to add at a previous meeting he made a mistake in telling
the Planning Commission that there was no need to read the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine
announcement from the Planning Commission Rules of Procedure at the beginning of a public
hearing when they are considering text amendments to zoning regulations. Mr. Kuhta stated
that Planning Commissioners certainly could benefit personally from a zoning code text
amendment and they should keep that in mind when considering future amendments.
Therefore this piece should be considered being read at the beginning of those public hearings
as well.
