Planning Commission Agenda Report June 14, 2023 Item 6 SUBJECT: 2023 Planning Commission – Upcoming Work Items EXHIBITS: A. Community Development Department Update, May 2023 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission receive the report on upcoming items expected to be brought before the Commission in 2023 and 2024. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In response to a recent request by a Planning Commissioner, this item provides a summary of items expected to come before the Planning Commission in the coming six to 12 months. The summary is based on currently-known projects underway or expected and applications in process, and could change if additional applications are received or if City Council directs the initiation of additional projects. DISCUSSION At a recent meeting, a member of the Planning Commission requested staff provide a “preview” of items that are expected to be brought to the Commission in 2023 and 2024. At each Planning Commission meeting, staff usually provides a summary of future items that will be agendized, although this list focuses only on items expected to be on the next one or two meeting agendas – this is because the timing and “readiness” of items for discussion is often dynamic, with staff aiming to call out items with a high degree of certainty will be coming before the Commission. In contrast, the following list is broader and longer-range in nature, reflecting projects and applications either underway or expected to be in process in coming months. The list is distinguished by long-range projects and current planning projects. Note that with many competing projects and priorities, as well as a certain degree of unpredictability that is inherent with processing development applications (e.g. unforeseen delays on the part of an applicant or due to the need to resolve a technical issue that arises), stated timelines for when specific items may be before the Commission should be considered preliminary and subject to change. Long-Range Planning Projects A summary of upcoming long-range planning projects, their status, and a rough estimate of timing when items may be before the Planning Commission is provided in the matrix on the following page.
