ZCC has established a timeline for hiring an executive director and consultant team.
ZCC will ask City Council to extend timeline for rewrite and to keep them informed of legislation that impacts zoning.
Executive Director: A job description has been issued by the Hiring Subcommittee. All interested candidates must apply by May 30th. Interviews of candidates will be scheduled the following week. The Hiring Subcommittee will recommend a candidate for the Executive Director at the June 25th ZCC meeting. The ZCC Board will have an opportunity to elect the Executive Director at this meeting with a 2/3rds vote.
Consultant: An RFQ has been issued for a consultant team to rewrite the city’s zoning code. The deadline for submitting qualification in response to the RFQ is May 23rd. The Work Plan Subcommittee will recommend the most qualified consultant to the ZCC on June 11th. The consultant selected will be asked to provide the ZCC with action steps for moving forward shortly after the date of selection.
Extend time for ZCC to complete rewrite: Before City Council recesses for the summer break, the ZCC will request that Council extend the time for the zoning code rewrite by two years.
ZCC will also ask for briefings on all bills that will impact the current and future zoning code. Amendments to the zoning code can not be placed on hold for the next two years, but it is important that the ZCC understand proposed legislation that will impact their final product.
