VI. GENERAL PLANNING & OTHER BUSINESS
Land Use Application Process
Stephan Lashbrook, Community Development Director, advised the Commissioners
that the staff was preparing a report for the City Council that would suggest methods to
reduce the processing time for land use decisions to not exceed 120 days. He noted the
current average processing time was 150 days when there are appeals. He advised the
staff had identified 18 steps in the decision-making process from the preapplication
conference to the final decision. He noted they had determined that a number of
possible minor changes might shave a day or two from the process; but that was not
enough. He said it was probable that more serious changes — including changes that
related to which bodies would be involved in an appeal of a decision - could more
effectively reduce the processing time. He anticipated the staff would make their report
to the Council in May 2002.
VII. ADJOURNMENT
There being no other business before the DRC, Chair Ostly adjourned the meeting at
7:12 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Jean Hall
Senior Secretary
