Memorandum
To:Planning Commission
From:Kris Jenson, Planning Manager
Date:November 25, 2024
Subject:2025 Meeting dates
In an effort to reduce surprises or confusion when meeting dates may need to change, staff is
proposing making any possible meeting date changes now, so Commissioners are able to add
these to their calendars for planning purposes. The proposed 2025 meeting dates are as follows:
January 2 – shift to January 9
January 16 – shift to January 23
February 6
February 20
March 6
March 20
April 3
April 17
May 1 – shift to May 8?
May 15 – shift to May 22?
June 5
June 19
July 3 – cancel due to Independence Day holiday
July 17
August 7
August 21
September 4
September 18
October 2 – shift to October 9?
October 16 – shift to October 23?
November 6
November 20
December 4
December 18
The January dates will be shifted to January 9 and January 23 as a January 2 meeting date would
require Community Development staff to prepare and publish the agenda and packet during
the week of Christmas, when most staff have taken time off and won’t be available. Shifting
these two dates also puts the PC meetings on the same week as the City Council meetings.
Consideration should be given to shifting the May meetings – the 1st and the 15th. Not only are
these dates offset from City Council meetings, but the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources
Commission (PRNRC) meets on the first and third Wednesdays of the month, so their meetings
would be offset from Planning Commission. This can raise issues as the PRNRC reviews and
makes recommendations to City Council on most residential plats, utilizing the reports drafted
by Planning and Engineering. Shifting the PC meetings to May 8 and 22 puts the meetings back
on schedule to align with PRNRC meetings.
th. While this would mean
that the PC meetings are offset from City Council, the meetings would still align with the
PRNRC meeting schedule. The other consideration is that the October 16 meeting would fall
over MEA, which can be a conflict for staff and applicants at times.
