SUBJECT: PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT FOR
rrn CERTAIN COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS
Staff is proposing a Zoning Ordinance text amendment to add two alternate members to the
Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission (HCLC) and the Urban Design Commission (UDC).
Currently, five members must be present at the HCLC and the UDC for a quorum. The HCLC
and UDC have experienced difficulty reaching and sometimes keeping a quorum for meetings
due to absences, vacancies, and recusals. The result has been delays in development
processes.
The proposed ordinance change would be similar to the addition of two alternates added to the
City Plan Commission in 2003. Nine members would continue to serve in places numbered one
through nine, and two alternates would be added to serve in the absence of one or more regular
members. The alternates would be appointed through the Legislative and Intergovernmental
Affairs Committee and City Council, and would be professionals in historic preservation,
architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, urban planning, real estate, or law as
applicable.
The anticipated public hearing schedule for the proposed amendment would be:
Zoning Commission July 11, 2018
City Council August 7, 2018
