Planning and Zoning Commission <br />Minutes of September 19, 2013 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />etc. (Section 106-261— Generally), The Planning Director determines how and to what <br />degree of nonconformity to implement compliance with current codes. <br />Commissioner Hoot did not feel he had enough information on the subject. He has <br />heard complaints that decisions are not being applied fairly, therefore would like to see <br />the ordinance tightened up with more definition and less interpretation. Mr. Tietjens <br />disagreed about fairly applying decisions and gave examples. Commissioner Hoot <br />suggested it would be helpful to develop a summary of like issues over the past several <br />years showing what decisions have been made by various Directors. <br />In response to a question by Commissioner Hoot, Mr. Tietjens warned the Commission <br />about the effects of additional steps in the process as the development community <br />would object to the resulting bureaucracy and time delays. <br />Commissioner Follis stated the subcommittee plans to review the ordinance and bring <br />suggested changes to the Commission for consideration. The consent of the <br />Commission was to have the Zoning Ordinance Review Subcommittee recommend if <br />changes should occur. <br />8.
