1. 2024 Planning & Zoning Commission Work Plan
City Planner Krzos summarized Planning & Zoning report 2023-14. The intent and
purpose of the work plan is to allow for the City Council to better communicate with and
follow the work of the Planning & Zoning Commission. The 2023 work plan included
community education and engagement, and training opportunities. The draft 2024 work
plan includes a continuation of those items. During discussion of the draft 2024 work
plan, the Commission agreed that tabling at two events during the year was appropriate
to continue in 2024, and expressed a desire to explore opportunities to engage with
students and youth members. The Commission also discussed potential areas of focus
for continued education and training, specifically the Shady Oak LRT station area plan
and review the sustainable building policy.
