Thoro may bo a way to avoId 'slartlng ovor' complotoly whon tho Council choosos to

Io/Iow tho lamo moallng, This would avoId roschodullng anothor hoarlng, ThIs mothod
would Ilso onablo wrltton prolosts to bo filod on tho amondod ordlnanco and bo
onllroly conslstont wtth stalo law. Iowa City Is not unique In lollowtng such procoduro,
At 10 whothor notlco 01 tho amondod ordlnanco would actually havo to bo ropubllshod,
tho quostlon appoars 10 bo no, Tho public hoarlng Is contlnuod to tho nox1 mooting
rlthor than closod, Again, thoro 810 no caso doclslons or attornoy gonoral'l opinions
on thls quostlon. n would loom, howovor, that onco notlco has boon publlshod, tho
crlllcallact Is that porsons havo an opportunity 10 appoar boloro tho Council at tho
public hoarlng, and 10 volco tholr support or obloctlonslo tho amondod ordlnanco.
At a practJcal mattor, tho contlnuod public hoarlng may wolllurn out to bo ropoUtlous
wtth rospoct to volcod support and opposition. In casas whoro tho Commlsslon'l
rocommondatlon dlNors Irom tho original rozonlng potlllon, an allornato or lubslltuto
ordlnanco can bo proparod by staff and Includod In tho packot. This would taka tho
otomGnt 01 'Iurprlso' out ollho polontlal obloctors, In any ovont, Ills my opinion that
any posslblo duplication 01 a contlnuod hoarlng can bo offoctlvoly mlnlmlzod by
prosontlng tho Commission's rocommondatlon 10 tho Council as an altornato 10 tho
PotltJonor'l, In no caso should II bo tho stalfs rocommondatlon that Is prosonlod In
ordlnanco lorm, unloss to carry out tho Comprohonslvo Plan.
Allin all, I sllghl dolay ollwo wooks Is, sgaln, a small prlco to pay lor ollmlnatlng
procedural quostlons. This wtll pormlt you to locus on tho substanllvo land uso Issuos,
wtth loss distractions rogardlng procoduro,
You may bo wondorlng why this quostlon has not prosontod IIsol1 boloro. I porsonally hsvo
no snsworlo this. I can say, howovor, that tho City should continuo 10 koop porfoctlon as a
goal, whllo rocognlzlng It Is soldom achlovod. In a word, I auggost wo movo on to clearing
up thoso procodural quostlons, snd Ihal wo do It aoonor ralhor than lator,
I wtll bo happy to answor sny and all quostlons ragardlng this mallor, as noodod.
