STAFF UPDATES

 

Kim Sanchez, Deputy Director of Community Planning & Permitting, stated that she is looking for a volunteer to be a representative from Planning Commission to join the BVCP Process Subcommittee.  The group will consist of city and county staff and one member from each of the following approval bodies: City of Boulder Planning Board, City Council, Boulder County Planning Commission, and the Board of County Commissioners. The purpose of the subcommittee is to discuss and confirm process elements for conducting updates to the Comprehensive Plan such as the community engagement schedule, policy analysis timelines, and approval process mechanics. This group will not be weighing in on the policy, only the process itself. She identified George Gerstle, Gavin McMillan, and Chris Whitney as Planning Commissioners who have volunteered via email. She asked them to come to a determination of who would volunteer as a group and report back to her via email.
