202 4 ANNUAL REPORT Page 1
Summary
This year the Planning and Zoning Commission held 11 regular hearings acting on an average of
2-3 items per meeting. The Commission also held 11 work sessions. In addition to the regular
hearings, the Commission held one special meeting in August to dedicate an entire hearing to
one development project.
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. The Commission conducted all its meetings in a hybrid format in 2024.
