City staff and a subcommittee of the city’s Planning Commission are nearing the end of a multi-year update program for these important laws. Review by the staff and the Planning Commission Chapter 14 Rewrite Subcommittee is scheduled to be completed this summer, to be followed by public hearings at the Planning Commission and the Governing Body (City Council and Mayor).
