REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor & City Commission
FROM: Chris Saunders, Policy and Planning Manager Wendy Thomas, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: Continuation of public hearing for Westbrook Major Subdivision Preliminary
Plat, located northeast of the intersection of Durston Road and Laurel Parkway,
Application P13047.
MEETING DATE: April 7, 2014
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move that the public hearing for the Westbrook Major Subdivision
be continued to April 14, 2014.”
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Commission continue the public hearing for the Westbrook
Major Subdivision to April 14, 2014.
BACKGROUND: The Westbrook Major Subdivision was advertised in late February 2014 for
consideration by the City Commission on April 7, 2014. Since that advertisement the anticipated time
required for other agenda items on the April 7, 2014 has grown considerably. It is important for the
public to have a meaningful opportunity to participate in land use decisions. Reviews occurring at very
late meetings lessen this opportunity. In order to provide an opportunity for substantive public participation in the review of the proposed subdivision it is recommended to continue the public hearing
one week to April 14th.
Subdivision review has a statutory time frame within which the review must be completed. This time
limit for the Westbrook Subdivision ends on May 20th. Therefore, even with the one week continuance
the review of this application will comply with the required time limits.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None determined at this time.
ALTERNATIVES: None identified at this time.
FISCAL EFFECTS: None identified at this time. Attachments: None
