POLICY ISSUES:
As a part of the legislative process the Planning Commission considers proposed changes to the Unified Development Code (UDC) and makes a recommendation to the Town Council. The Planning Commission may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the resolution recommending changes to the UDC. The proposed code update improves clarity on noticing for applicants in development review.
Recommendation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend the Planning Commission adopt Resolution P25-12 recommending the Town Council adopt the ordinance amending Title 10 of the Erie Municipal Code.
Body
SUMMARY/KEY POINTS
* Ordinance No. 11-2021 was approved in 2021 to address the content of notices; however, the ordinance was erroneously not codified when originally passed.
* The proposed ordinance would correct this mistake and clarify how properties are identified in notices.
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Board of Trustees (now Town Council) passed Ordinance No. 11-2021 on May 25, 2021, which clarified how properties are identified when noticed. The portion of the ordinance clarifying notice requirements did not get codified. Since that time, other changes have been made to the code in terms of numbering and structure, necessitating a new ordinance to be drafted to make the changes as originally intended. The changes in the draft ordinance simplify how the property that is subject to an application is identified, no longer requiring a legal description. The rest of the content of notices remains unchanged in the proposed ordinance.
