SUBJECT: EARLY PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW OF PROJECTS
DISCUSSION
Currently the Planning Commission receives their agenda, staff reports, and copies of plans on
the Thursday evening before the Wednesday meeting date. This gives the Planning
Commission six days to read the staff reports and prepare for the meetings. Chairman
Rodriguez has requested that the Planning Commission discuss the potential of the Planning
Commission reviewing projects earlier, to allow additional time to to gain a better understanding
of what is being proposed.
Staff looks forward to the Planning Commission conducting this discussion and providing
direction on how to proceed. Based on the Planning Commission’s direction, staff will review
the City’s Charter and the Planning Commission’s bylaws to determine if an amendment to
either would be required.
