PLANNING ORDINANCE CHANGES
Mayor Austin opened
the public hearing for comments regarding the zoning code changes.

how many time extensions can be given for one application.

Liu would like there to be multiple time extensions allowed, especially for
larger subdivisions.

extensions to two. It was Council
consensus to limit the extensions to two and add the county criteria.

closed the public hearing.

knock down some of the things in the manager report.
