On July 19, 2024, at 9:00 AM, the Kearney Planning Commission held a workshop meeting in City Council Chambers at 18 East 22nd Street. The meeting was called to order with a quorum present. No official business or public hearings were conducted. The agenda focused on three informational items: updates to the Planning Commission Handbook and New Commissioner Quick Reference, an in-depth explanation of the Development Review Team (DRT) process, and an overview of planning staff activities and future educational outreach. The meeting adjourned by motion around 9:45 AM.
Just in time. I'm gonna call this meeting of the planning commission to order. And in accordance to section 84, 14, 12 of Nebraska Wallet Revised Statutes. Current copy of the Open Meeting Act is available for review and is posted in the meeting room. Do we have a rule call, please? Dart. Here. Daikan. Here. Scott Pandor. Here. Cochrane. Rickard. Y'all. Here. Here. We have a quorum. We have three items on the agenda today. And I don't know if we treat these as hearings or not, but we'll find out quickly. Alrighty. We don't have any public hearings today. We aren't doing any typical agenda business, so there's nothing for you to look on today. This is really just an opportunity where we didn't have any planning commission applications come in. We've kind of always reserved this time on our calendars, so I figured this would be a great time for us to still meet. We have to do some of the formal things like a roll call, and we'll have to do a roll call at adjournment because we do have a quorum. So we still publish that we were meeting, and that's part of the open meetings act, but there's no official business on the agenda today. We do have the laptop set up because we have some PDFs that you can look at that I'll be referencing. We also have the agenda there. Okay. Yeah. And so I will try and remember. I will try and remember once we're to that section to reference the PDF in which I'm talking about. This is an opportunity for you guys to ask questions about kind of what we're doing. The agenda is pretty light. So one of the first things we're going to kind of talk about is give you an update on the planning commission handbook and the new commissioner quick reference. We have some updates to those. Then I thought we would take a step back and talk about development review team and how that works. We'll do a little bit of a deep dive of what that meeting kind of looks like. And then we'll kind of talk about that how it relates to as planning commissioners. And then Malia and I thought it would be interesting to kind of go over and give you guys a little behind the scenes, maybe is the way to put it of you know what we do as planning staff and some of the updates and things that we are doing. We just don't run planning commission. There's a lot of other things that we do, and so we thought we could give you guys a little insight on that. Um at any time, of course, during this presentation. If you have questions or want me to stop, please just let me know. We I anticipate we'll run till about 9 45. Of course, if you guys have questions and you want to run longer, we still have the time reserved for as long as you want to be here. So all righty. So we brought to you maybe like a year ago now that we were in the process of updating the planning commissioner's handbook. Um that really hasn't been updated since 2019, and it was a project that really got pushed to the back of our list of things to do down in the office. Um just with staff changes that occurred and other things that we were doing.
