Brief Planning Commission Meeting Report

By Ogden Eyes

Tonight's City Planning Commission Meeting was a hoot. The mixed use ordinance passed unanimously after several work sessions and revisions. Tonight there was much discussion on it before it met the final vote.

Scott Brown, Geigers and Gadi were all in attendance wearing black like the Soprano boys all night as the mixed use ordinance was dealt with late. They were seen walking down the Blvd after the meeting. What a sight the four of them in a row and heading to see the gondola hanging right downtown after midnight. They were there at the CP meeting all night and left once the mixed use ordinance was passed. That must have been why they were there. Now for City Council to work with it.

Moyal was present most of the night with his petition to rezone his property to allow a restaurant and etc. When it was time for his petition which was also late, John Mayer city planner announced that the petition was pulled after Scott Brown talked to him. I wonder what kind of a deal was worked out there. I hope advantages to him.

Sensitive Overlay was brought up tonight by a few of the commissioners. Ian and others wanted to bring it back to the commission to work on it some more. But it didn't happen. They finally decided to see what City Council will do with it and perhaps they will send it back. Only four of them that voted for it to pass could have brought it back and they never did. Some felt it was not complete as it went and needed some more tweaking such as the foothill overlay ordinance and more discussion on the 30% slope topic. Just a quicky update. I was not there for the full night but got to hear most of it as I came later and got to hear the biggest stuff as I mentioned above. Seemed they had a very late night, I left at midnight and they were still in session. If someone was there for the full evening perhaps they could give a complete and concise report.
