__start__
SHCC requests that the Planning Comm not vote on the proposed Community Based Orgs ordinance until we have had time to review proposed policies regarding LU&Z reviews.
We believe a fair policy in this regard is one that:
+affords community councils early notice of planned development projects
+encourages developers to meet with, answer questions posed by, and hear recommendations from the community councils and our members, and
+enables community councils to provide thoughtful feedback to the city regarding proposed projects.
