Jeff Lowe, City Staff, gives an overview of proposals. There was a discussion with the City
Attorney and Staff that Title 8 & Title 9 should be combined into one title. Combining the
resolutions into one allows the intent of the comprehensive plan to be better described thru code.
Asks that these items be remanded so the code can be overhauled. Stands for questions from the
Commission. Discussion on what the titles entail. Smith suggests on having flow diagrams.
Tanner would also like to see this in the big picture. Planner Lowe explains that the intent is to
have a living document that explains the process better. Roehling asks what will be used as a
model to create the document. Planner Lowe - Meridian has recently revised their code. That can
be used as a model. Roehling asks if there has been any review or professional feedback on this
document either by Meridian or Garden City. Planner Lowe has heard of none. Smith asks if
there are any areas that can be benchmarked and used as a model. Planner Lowe wiJI provide Jinks
to other cities that may be in line with what we are going for.
