Agenda Review
Chair Carpenter provided background on the board's role and what the audience could expect as to the
order of business. She described the following processes:
• While the City staff provides comprehensive information about each project under consideration,
citizen input is valued and appreciated.
• The Board is here to listen to citizen comments. Each citizen may address the Board once for
each item.
• Decisions on development projects are based on judgment of compliance or non-compliance with
city Land Use Code.
• Should a citizen wish to address the Board on items other than what is on the agenda, time will
be allowed for that as well.
• This is a legal hearing, and the Chair will moderate for the usual civility and fairness to ensure
that everyone who wishes to speak can be heard.
Director Kadrich reviewed the items on both the Consent and Discussion agendas. She also explained
the consent agenda process to the citizens. Director Kadrich stated that the item listed under "Other
Business" (Board support for Budgeting For Outcomes) will be moved for discussion at the June 12h,
2014, P&Z hearing.

This letter represents confirmation of a one-year extension of the term of the East Ridge Final Plan
vested right. The East Ridge Final Plan was originally approved on July 13, 2009. The initial three-year
approval that expired in July 13, 2012, has since been extended twice administratively per Section
2.2.11(D) (4). The Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously at their regularly scheduled meeting
held on May 8, 2014, a decision to approve the requested extension for a one year term of vested rights
to July 13, 2015.
As approved by the Board, this extension will require all public engineering improvements in
accordance with the approved utility plans to be completed no later than July 13, 2015.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
_P� �_L_
Pete Wray, AICP, Senior City Planner
