Milton's City Hall is gearing up for a pivotal Planning Commission meeting today, where the board will elect its new leaders and dive headlong into specialized training. The seven-member commission, handpicked by the city's Mayor and Council, is prepped to cast their votes for the year's chairperson and vice chairperson.
After the election dust settles, the Commission will quickly shift focus with a crash course aimed at amping up their game in the complex dance of city code and procedures. According to an announcement from the Milton City website, they'll plunge into the nitty-gritty of zoning laws, procedures, and the intricacies of various form-based codes that the city operates under.
The action all goes down in the Council Chambers at City Hall starting at 6 p.m. and is open to the public, which means you can grab a seat in person or catch the livestream spectacle online. Keeping in step with government transparency, the people of Milton can tune in to the proceedings via the city's official YouTube channel at the link listed in the city's release.
Last on the agenda, but not least, the commission will turn a critical eye to their own by-laws for a thorough review. These by-laws are the backbone of how the Commission functions and this review is a chance to ensure everything's up to snuff. With Milton's growth and the complexities of urban planning continually reshaping the landscape, it's a duty they seem to not take lightly.
Post Wednesday's huddle, the Milton Planning Commission isn't due to reconvene until late March, giving them plenty of time to digest the training and make strategic moves before their next meet on March 27.
