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.
Planning Commission considered these changes at their September 3 meeting and passed Resolution P25-12 recommending adoption of the ordinance unanimously.
