BUSINESS ITEMS
4. Zoning Regulations Update. The Zoning Regulations Update is focused on implementing the
policies and programs of the Land Use and Circulation Elements (LUCE). This will be a
standing item on the Planning Commission agenda from June 14, 2017 through completion of
the Update of the Zoning Regulations, tentatively scheduled for completion in March 2018. This
will be an opportunity for staff to update the Commission on the status of the Zoning Regulations
Update and for the Commission to listen to ongoing public testimony and discuss any such
updates as they come forward. As a standing item, sometimes there will be nothing to report;
other times staff will give a brief update with limited discussion; and at certain points, such as
review of the Land Use Table, Parking Requirements, and the Reformatted Outline, there will be
more substantive discussion on the item. When materials are associated with the Update, as with
the White Papers associated with the Update, such information will be made available to the
public and Commission prior to the meeting. (Doug Davidson/Kyle Bell)
