Conditional use approval authority shift

Hilliard

Summary

Ordinance 26-09 would let the unelected Planning and Zoning Commission give final approval to conditional-use permits instead of City Council, cutting about a month off the process for small businesses. A resident pushed back, and Councilman Teater voiced skepticism. The public hearing April 13 is the chance to weigh in.
