Discussed
Planning staff described the proposal: early engagement for design review and new construction in historic districts, a mailing to owners and residents within 300 feet and a posted sign, outreach events that could be online, a 14-day window for community organizations to respond, and a public hearing allowed during the 45-day period but no decision. The Council agreed to drop an option asking all city departments to adopt an early notification policy within a year, and to add an exemption where federal or state law sets a conflicting deadline.
