Planning Commission Hiatus
Due to a requirement in the Ethics Ordinance (Section 3.21(B)6 “A
candidate in any City election may not serve as an active or otherwise contributing member of any appointed City board, committee, or commission during the candidacy.”), Planning Commission
will be without a quorum during the election season (September and October), as five Planning Commission members are running for City Council, making it impossible for a quorum to convene.
Therefore, Planning Commission Meetings will be suspended until after the election, which takes place November 6th.
