Information about the review process and a comparison of the original application and the revised application is below:
Review Process: This application was originally submitted in October of 2016 and staff completed an initial review in November. The applicant has now submitted a revised application in response to review comments, as well as feedback from the November 16 and December 15 public information meetings. The next steps for this application are listed below:
Staff Review – To be complete in early / mid July: As a part its review of the revised application, staff will review it for compliance with all applicable elements of Town Code, including the LUMO [Land Use Management Ordinance] and the NCD [Neighborhood Conservation District] and produce additional comments and conditions as appropriate. Once staff review is complete, the applicant may request that the application be placed on the Planning Commission’s agenda
Planning Commission Review - Not scheduled at this time: August 1, 2017 is the earliest likely date for this meeting. The Planning Commission meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 7:00pm. A postcard mailing will be mailed at least 3 weeks in advance of the meeting.
Staff Report: In advance of a meeting, staff is required to prepare a report to the Planning Commission that details the applications compliance, or non-compliance, with the LUMO and present a recommendation to the Planning Commission based strictly on the application’s compliance. This report would be published at least one week in advance of the meeting.
Planning Commission Decision: The Planning Commission is charged with considering the report and recommendation from staff, materials and presentation from the applicant, and comments made by members of the public. The Commission would then make a decision as to the application’s compliance with the LUMO. An application of this scale may require more than one meeting before the Commission takes action.
