SUBJECT: COURTESY NOTICE FOR BOARD/COMMISSION CASES
1675
The purpose of this Informal Report is to respond to the City Council's recent request to increase
the courtesy notification area for board/commission cases.
Planning and Development staff currently sends courtesy email notifications to registered
community organizations within '/4 mile of cases to be heard by the Boards of Adjustment, City
Plan Commission, and Zoning Commission. This email notification is a benefit to community
organizations that register with the Community Engagement Office.
The City Council asked staff to consider increasing the notification radius from '/4 mile to '/2 mile.
This would quadruple the area subject to the courtesy notice, as indicated on the attached
example maps. Increasing the notice area may increase administrative workload due to increased
correspondence on cases. The Development Advisory Committee expressed opposition to
increasing the radius and recommended that it only be done for cases involving intensive
industrial or similar land uses with external effects.
Unless directed otherwise, staff will increase the notice radius to '/2 mile for all Board of
Adjustment, City Plan Commission, and Zoning Commission cases starting with applications
received in April 2017. Staff will monitor the impact for one year and report back to the City
Council.
Should you have any questions, please contact Dana Burghdoff, Assistant Director of Planning
and Development, at 817-392-8018.
