This endment deletes the statement that a simple majority of a quorum
of the Planning Commission may act on an appeal of a decision of the
Design Review Committee:
RECOMMENDATION: Council approve the proposed ordinance.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
Sectio 19.14.583 of the City Code purports to allow a "simple majority
of the quorum of the Planning Commission" to change or modify the decision
of the Design Review Committee. This section was one of a number of
sectio s which was added to the Code when the Design Review Committee was
establ shed in 1977.
fort ately, it is not consistent with the requirement found in Section 603
the City Charter, ..."The affirmative vote of a majority of the entire
er hip of such board or commission shall be necessary for it to take
any ac ion except to adjourn".
There ave been very few appeals from decisions of the Design Review
Commit ee and the inconsistency has never been an issue since these
appeal were heard by the full membership of the Planning Commission.
A rece t appeal heard by only 4 members of the Planning Commission brought
the is ue into focus and the inconsistency should be cleared up.
