RE: Otsego - Zoning Ordinance: Administrative Permits/Approvals
FILE NO: 176.08 - 96.18
At the City Council's directive, the Planning Commission has conducted a review of the
Zoning Ordinance and offered recommendation as to various applications which currently
require a conditional use permit (or City Council approval) which may more appropriately
be allowed by administrative permit or simply approval by the Zoning Administrator.
Specifically, the Planning Commission conducted a review of the items listed in staffs 1
October 1996 memorandum to the City Council which identified possible administrative
approvals.
The following is a listing of the items identified in the referenced 1 October memorandum
and corresponding recommendations offered by the Planning Commission at their 6
November meeting.
This material is scheduled for discussion at the forthcoming 25 November City Council
meeting.
