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 Zone Map Amendment, located
northeast of the intersection of Durston Road and Laurel Parkway, Application
Z13296.
MEETING DATE: April 7, 2014
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move that the public hearing for the Westbrook Zone Map
Amendment be continued to April 14, 2014.”
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Commission continue the public hearing for the Westbrook
Zone Map Amendment to April 14, 2014.
BACKGROUND: The Westbrook Zone Map Amendment (ZMA) 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 ZMA it is recommended to continue the public
hearing one week to April 14th. There is no specific period within which a ZMA must be reviewed.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None determined at this time.
ALTERNATIVES: None identified at this time. FISCAL EFFECTS: None identified at this time.
