Title
OCMC Chapter 17.50 Administration and Procedures - Neighborhood Association Meetings
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Discuss Chair Wilhite’s wish to require a time limit between neighborhood association meetings and land use submittal and determine if the CIC wishes to make a formal recommendation to the City Commission.
BACKGROUND:
Chair Willhite would like to know if other neighborhood associations are having problems with a time lag between land use applicants attending neighborhood association meetings and their land use application being submitted to the city.
She commented that, "in Gaffney Lane we have recently come across an application where the applicant attended a meeting two years ago. I believe there should be a time limit put into the code for how long before applying the developer can attend the neighborhood association. A lot can happen in two years. Our steering committee feels that they should have to come back and re-present. I believe it was even longer for the applicant that applied down at the Cove between the time they met with a neighborhood and they resubmitted for Phase 2. I am wondering if the CIC agrees. I would like to have the CIC asked if they would be in support of sending a letter and CIC member to the City Commission to review this policy and recommend a time limit."
The city is currently in the process of updating city code and has staff has proposed some amendments to 17.50.055 - Neighborhood Association Meeting to improve readability and provide additional specificity but has not recommended any revision to neighborhood association meeting requirements time limit at this time. A copy of the draft OCMC 17.50 revision for readability/specificity is attached for your review.
