LAND USE REVIEW COMMISSION
2023 Annual Report
BACKGROUND:
The Land Use Review Commission (LURC) consists of seven members. Meetings were held
the second Thursday of every month in-person. The Commission may also meet as needed
in order to convene special meetings but did not do so in 2023. The Commission did not meet
in February 2023 due to lack of appeals and did not meet in June 2023 due to loss of quorum.
The commission members who served in 2023 were: Ian Shuff, David Carron, John McCoy,
Dave Lawton, Nathanial Coffman, Philip San Filippo, and Katie Vogel. The annual election of
officers resulted in Ian Shuff being elected as Chair and Dave Lawton as Vice-Chair.
City Council liaison to the Board during 2023 was Shirley Peel. Staff support was provided by
Noah Beals, Kory Katsimpalis, Chris Hayes, and Aaron Guin.
