Planning commission outlines upcoming work

From the Loveland Planning Commission meeting of

The Planning Commission’s Nov. 23 meeting would be canceled, and it was scheduled to meet again Dec. 14; land-use and zoning matters involving a downtown project and the Sugar Creek development in north-central Loveland were expected on that agenda. A joint City Council-Planning Commission work session was planned for Feb. 9, following work by the City Management Office with input from Development Services. In September, the Planning Commission heard a presentation about Green Ridge Glade Reservoir and a proposed project next to it that could affect the city’s water source. A speaker said the Water team had told him the changes under consideration would have less impact on the water source, though he did not know their exact implications and had not discussed them in detail with the team; the Board of County Commissioners tabled the matter Sept. 28 for further analysis, and it was scheduled to return Nov. 16. Fall recruitment ended Oct. 30; interviews were expected to be scheduled soon, with nominations to City Council hoped for by the beginning of the new year.
