V. Joint Meeting
- Discussion on M-2 Codification Process:
Piggott reviewed the current process and noted that although there are established standards, they are not codified in the Ordinance. Some of the concerns with this include the lack of limitations (type and area) and whether the procedures are transparent enough. There could be some confusion on what the ZBA is granting - they are not granting a variance, they are making an administrative decision on whether the applicant has met the standards.
Undoubtedly resolution requires purchase of a third opinion from the city attorney. At least the AICP 'professionals' do agree standards being authorized are not contained in the ordinance. felony misconduct
