OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Staff is asking Council to establish the 2025-26 Annual Docket of Comprehensive Plan Amendments.

The "Docketing Threshold Criteria" and "Planning Commission Issues Matrix" has further analysis and discussion of this topic, as found in Attachment B of your packet.

The Planning Commission Report and Recommendation is attached.
