Item 39 Passed 10-0

Approve a resolution directing the City Manager to notify the Community Development Commission (Commission) when rezoning applications are received for properties with existing multifamily so that the Commission will have an opportunity to provide recommendations to City Council.

This resolution would have the City Manager give the Community Development Commission a heads-up whenever a rezoning application comes in for a property that already has multifamily housing on it. The idea is to loop the Commission in early enough that it can weigh in with recommendations before Council makes a call. For renters living in those buildings, it's a chance to have an advisory body flag concerns as zoning changes move through the pipeline.
