Two city commissions have postponed discussions on a controversial plan to combine the city’s planning and design commissions. The Development Oversight Commission (DOC) canceled the discussion it had scheduled for today’s meeting on its proposal to join the two commissions.
The city’s Design Commission had also scheduled a Wednesday discussion on the DOC's proposal. The Design Commission postponed the discussion to a later date.

"At the Design Review Commission tonight City staff announced that they are withdrawing their proposal to eliminate the Design Review Commission. Development Services Director Bill Thomas noted that the community outreach the City had engaged in led staff and the Development Oversight Commission to decide that they wanted to work on the proposal further before taking it forward to Council.
Mr. Thomas suggested that the City will be forming an ad-hoc Committee made up of Commissioners from the Design Review, Planning and Development Oversight Commissions that will be tasked with examining opportunities to make the City’s development oversight more responsive to community and applicant needs."
