PROCEDURAL CONTEXT

The Land Use Management Ordinance (LUMO), Town Code Appendix A Section 8.1 requires the Town Council, in its legislative capacity, to consider proposed amendments to the LUMO. The accompanying amendment to the Advisory Board Membership Policy would align the Policy with LUMO changes.

BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT

The proposed LUMO rule revisions would reduce the numbers for members seats, quorum, and voting thresholds, and provide alternatives for administrative review if a Board does not have enough members to meet. The proposed Advisory Board Membership Policy changes would also remove Champion seats from the Planning Commission. Please see the Staff Report for more information.

COMPLETE COMMUNITY CONNECTION

The proposal supports goals of the Complete Community Strategy such as Plan for the Future Strategically and Plan for Excellence in the Public Realm. Please see the Staff Report for more information.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION

The proposal is consistent with the Town’s commitment to equitable engagement and related efforts to ground communications and community engagement work in the principles of equity.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Staff have provided notice of this hearing according to LUMO requirements. Please see the Staff Report for more information.
