Title
Action on the Brookings County and City Joint Jurisdictional Committee Charter and action on city appointments.
Body
Summary:
State enabling legislation authorizes municipalities to exercise a certain degree of zoning and subdivision authority within a three-mile jurisdiction outside existing city limits as a means of proper planning for eventual growth and development. This is done in a collaborative effort between the municipality and the county. Recent efforts by the City of Brookings and Brookings County to update their comprehensive plans, as well as recent development activity, has caused the need to analyze the current joint jurisdictional zoning provisions and may necessitate an update.
The City Council will also designate two City Council members to serve on the committee.
Background:
This charter would be the first step toward establishing a temporary, intergovernmental working group to analyze and make recommendations to update the planning provisions of the joint jurisdictional zoning area. It is anticipated this committee would forward such recommendations for final adoption by the City and County for improved tools to manage and facilitate growth and development in areas around the City of Brookings identified as being transitional from rural to urban.
Recommendation
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval.
