CFZ Process Paused

Today Interim City Manager, Jessi Bon, and Community Planning and Development Director, Evan Maxim, made the decision to "push pause" on the planning work related to the Community Facility Zone and code amendments. The City originally intended to release a third draft of the code amendment for Planning Commission review on August 7. Given ongoing concerns expressed by the community, the City is suspending this work and will not be releasing another draft in August. Instead, the City will take time to re-evaluate the process and approach before investing additional time and resources into this planning effort. The joint City Council-Planning Commission meeting scheduled for August 20 will include a discussion of the Community Facility Zone planning work and next steps.
