Environmental Policy Board (EPB) <br />Meeting Date: 02/02/2015 <br />By: Chris Anderson, Community <br />Development <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Consider Change of Regular Meeting Day to Third Monday of Each Month <br />Purpose /Background: <br />5.2. <br />As the Board will recall, at the January meeting Staff raised the question of potentially shifting the regular meeting <br />date of the Environmental Policy Board (EPB) from the first Monday of each month to the third Monday of each <br />month. There was general consensus amongst the Board that changing the regularly scheduled meeting day to the <br />third Monday of each month was acceptable as long as that change didn't impact the EPB's opportunity to have <br />more involvement with review of certain land use applications. <br />In reviewing the development review timeline, shifting the regular monthly meeting to the third Monday will <br />actually improve that process. As part of the discussion regarding the EPB's purpose and function, which included <br />active participation in the review of certain land use applications, the Board and City Staff were in agreement that <br />the EPB review should occur prior to the Planning Commission meeting. This would ensure that any comments or <br />recommendations of the EPB were available prior to any public hearing, typically held by the Planning <br />Commission. Currently, there are some months in which the Planning Commission meeting, which is held on the <br />first Thursday of each month, occurs prior to the EPB meeting, which could impact the City's ability to maintain <br />compliance with the sixty (60) day rule established in state statute. Changing the meeting date to the third Monday <br />of the month will ensure that the EPB's review would occur prior to the Planning Commission but would still fall <br />within the existing development review framework and timeframe. <br />Action: <br />Motion to officially change the regular meeting day of the Environmental Policy Board to the third Monday of each <br />month beginning in April, 2015. <br />Attachments <br />Development Review Flow Chart <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Chris Anderson (Originator) Chris Anderson 01/30/2015 08:25 AM <br />Form Started By: Chris Anderson Started On: 01/27/2015 03:32 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 01/30/2015 <br />
