Establishment, Membership and Procedure by adding a non-voting
ex-officio Navy representative to the Planning Commission
Dan McGinn,Assistant Direct of Planning and Environmental and Strategic
Initiatives, presented item "7".The Naval Air Station (NAS)Corpus Christi Joint
Land Use Study(JLUS),adopted by City Council in 2013 as an element of the
City's Comprehensive Plan,included a high priority recommendation to add a
non-voting ex-officio Navy Representative to the Planning Commission.
The NAS Corpus Christi Joint Land Use Study recommended the addition of
the Navy representative to the Planning Commission since the Planning
Commission makes recommendations on zoning and final decisions on
subdivisions that could greatly impact compatibility of development near Navy
facilities. Having a representative on the Planning Commission will help ensure
that there are clear and on-going communications with the City and the Navy
concerning development decisions.While the City Charter,Chapter 5. Planning
states that the Planning Commission shall have nine members,the Charter
does not address or specifically forbid the establishment of non-voting
ex-officio members.
Staff recommends approval of item "6". After Staff's presentation, Chairman
Villarreal opened the public hearing.With no one coming forward the public
hearing was closed. A motion to approved item "6"was made by
Commissioner Dibble and seconded by Commissioner Crull. The motion
