KITTITAS COUNTY <br /> COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES <br /> COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES—BOARD OF COUNTY <br /> COMMISSIONERS <br /> 2023 STUDY SESSION STAFF REPORT <br /> STUDY SESSION DATE: August 14,2023 <br /> TOPIC: CDS Planning Commission Standing Subcommittee <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: Support Proposed Standing Subcommittee <br /> LEAD STAFF: <br /> Jamey Ayling, Planning Manager <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Staff proposes to add the proposed standing subcommittee recommendation to the next <br /> agenda of the Planning Commission for the full commission to consider. <br /> BRIEFING SUMMARY: <br /> The Planning Commission Chairman has put forth a proposal to the Commission to formulate <br /> a standing subcommittee identified as the Strategic Planning Committee. The Commission <br /> Chair is hopeful that the standing subcommittee will facilitate bilateral communication <br /> between the Commission and various County Departments concerned with regulating land <br /> use activities. It is also intended as a platform to provide input. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> In the Planning Commission By-Laws Section 16 authorizes the commission having full <br /> power, from time to time,to create standing or temporary subcommittees of one or more <br /> members and the committee shall be charged with such duties of examination, investigation, <br /> and inquiry relative to some one or more subjects of interest to the commission. <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> It appears that the Planning Commission is responding well to staff s challenge for increased <br /> interaction between the commission and staff. We propose placing the subcommittee <br /> formulation on the next Planning Commission agenda and allowing the commission to take <br /> formal action formulating the committee. Staff will prepare a committee work program in <br /> the next several weeks, present and adjust according to committee wishes, and return to the <br /> Board with an update on the work program at our September 28, 2032, study session. <br /> FISCAL IMPACTS: <br /> None. Administrative work by planning staff is programmed in the 2023 Planning budget. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Standing Subcommittee Proposal <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br /> Community Development Services"Work Session Staff Report",2023 <br />
