Referral to Land Use Committee
MEMORANDUM
Please place on the February 12, 2014 City Commission agenda a request for referral
to the Land Use and Development Committee for discussion of the following matters:
1. Amendment to City Code section 2-459, to provide for limited exception permitting
"associates" of City agency members to lobby as architects/design professionals before
a City land use board; and related process for amending Code section 2-459.
2. Streamlining City's design application process by amendment of City's laws to
permit variance requests arising out of projects before Design Review Board and/or
Historic Preservation Board be heard by those boards, rather than necessitating
applicant to file a separate variance application to Board of Adjustment; and related
process for laws' amendments.
Inasmuch as the above matters may require the City's placement of ballot measures on
the upcoming 2014 County-wide ballot(s), I request that referral of these items be
placed on the February 19, 2014 Land Use Committee agenda.
Please contact my office at ext. 7106 if you have any questions.
