Limiting meetings to a handful a couple days per month, without minimum thresholds for what kinds of projects should even be scheduled – all of which must take place prior to filing, is not the solution the City thinks that it is.
Especially considering the complicated (and sometimes conflicting/contradictory provisions in the almost 600 pages of) zoning code; little can actually be built as by right. Add to that the recent limit on the number of zoning cases allowed to be scheduled per hearing without increasing hearing capacity, and it’s a recipe for slowing down, not speeding up, new and infill development.
Agreed. An example is the recent change in how the City permits multi unit houses. It appears to be at the whim of the administrator, who doesn’t even have much of a city planning background.
