On Monday, March 10, 2025, from 7:30 PM to 9:32 PM, the Planning Commission Subcommittee (Chair Sarah Norman, Member David Nystrom, and City Planner Nick Sugar) met to review and revise Appendix A - Submittal Requirements of the Land Development Code. The goal was to streamline and modernize the application process, moving from paper-based to online submissions while ensuring necessary information is captured.
That's okay. All right. We don't have any minutes of a previous meeting to approve. So we will go on to the work session. My thought this evening was that we would go through the listing of the appendix A, and you might be able to tell us what parts were good to put over into the platform that the city uses for um taking those applications in lieu of a form. And then the things that were not good for putting on that platform that we might um discuss how those would be submitted, um, and whether they were necessary and and some of those things. Do you have anything you want to add in relation to that? Um no, that's fine. Just I'd also like to maybe we can begin uh about talking about just globally the um intentions and um maybe what how much we think we can get done today, how many meetings we think we might have. Um what do you have? I would love to get through everything tonight if we could. Um if there are things we need to have further research and discussion on, and that becomes apparent within the first couple minutes of discussing it, we should put those on the table and give Nick a long to-do list, and then he will let us know when he's ready to have another meeting so we can see what he's done. Does that sound reasonable? Sounds perfect. Okay. Did you have a different expectation? No, okay. All right. Um it'd be a random note. I I could before I forget. Um one item, one piece of this is the architectural historic board of review submittal requirements, which are are captured in here, but um they refer to a separate document. It just says see separate document or something like that. Really? We're not able to track that down. Um I thought it could be it would be a good exercise to have HBR review and submit what they think their submittable requirements would be. I think it's gonna be like five or six things. Right. Dave's Dave's understands them. It's like um elevations to scale elevations, photos, that type of thing, uh, floor plans, roof plans. Um, we could probably get under 10, but um I've already kind of talked to the chair and vice chair about that, and they're they're good with that. So that's great. I think that makes a lot of sense to do. So um what document would you like to start with, Nick? Do you want to start with the original appendix A, or do you want to start with your I mean, I have up here just a printout and word of all the requirements if you want to just start walking through the core, sure we could do that. Um I think Sarah, you had given the most in-depth notes at which are those are in front of everybody. I don't I don't believe in so maybe we can walk through um agreement on it, and then David, if you need to if you jump in with any of your comments or we can refer to um Angela and Fred's, but I don't think they were as line-by-line detailed. Right. Okay. All right, so then uh if we look at number one, that I suggested a rewording so that we're indicating how this application form is completed. At the time this was written, it contemplated paper, I'm sure. But I suggested that we we reword it for online. Um, and in the event there's a person, I always like to accommodate people who do not do things online. So if there's a way to do that, um and to keep the part I think we can just say a complete application form provided by community development. We would provide the online form, and if they have an issue with it, we'd work with them on other means. Super rare, but I guess what what I think is that the word application form suggests a piece of paper complete application, a complete application would be better, so we could take form out. Yeah, okay. Well, we're doing this. I'm gonna red line this right there. So the application provided by the community development department. We could take out copies of the plan or something.
