PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
2022 Annual Report
January 30, 2023
2022 ANNUAL REPORT Page 1
Summary
Chair David Katz and Vice-Chair Ted Shepard were elected in February 2021. This year the
Planning and Zoning Commission held 12 regular hearings acting on an average of 3-4 items per
meeting. The Commission also held 12 work sessions. In addition to the regular hearings, one
special meeting was held (in September) to accommodate the Commission’s project load.
The Commission continued to make adaptations in order to conduct business while remaining
compliant with COVID-19 public health measures and to accommodate public participation
through a variety of methods. Meetings from January through September were held in a hybrid
format with some or all Commissioners participating in the Council Chambers and with
participation by parties-in-interest and the public available online, by phone, or in-person. The
COVID-19 Emergency Declaration was lifted in October, and as a result meetings held from
October through December were held in-person, without the option for remote participation.
