2022 ANNUAL REPORT Page 1
Summary
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, the Commission held special meetings in April and September to accommodate the
Commission’s project load.
The Commission continued to make adaptations to transition to a hybrid meeting format. With the
adoption of Ordinance 143, 2022 in December of 2022, the Municipal Code was amended to
allow remote participation by applicants and the public, and for Commissioners during non-quasi-
judicial items. In January 2023, the Commission began operating in this manner and has
continued to do so throughout 2023.
