A. Call to Order
John Alstad called the Special Meeting of the Monticello Planning Commission to
order at 5:00 p.m.
2. 2021 Planning Commission Workplan
Angela Schumann noted that each year the Planning Commission approves their annual
workplan. Schumann noted that the City recently adopted the new Monticello 2040
Vision + Comprehensive Plan, which will guide the Planning Commission workplan.
Chapter 9 of the Comprehensive Plan provides all the goals, strategies, and policies that
are needed to make sure that the plan comes to fruition.
A draft 2021-2025 workplan was created by staff for the Planning Commission to review
and provide feedback. The Planning Commission and staff discussed a variety of topics
that impact the City.
Schumann asked the Planning Commission to revisit the draft workplan and fill in any
additional trainings that would be useful for them to complete and other topics that they
thought about after their discussion at the meeting. She also requested the Planning
Commissioners revisit the strategy document. A high priority item would be the
recodification of the zoning ordinance and prioritizing amendments they would like to
see changed that stem from the Monticello 2040 Comprehensive Plan. She added that
members should also identify any subdivision ordinance amendments that should occur.
The current focus for the year would be to accomplish as many of the trainings, research
topics, and amendments to the zoning code as possible.
Staff would take the comments that were received during the Special Meeting and revise
the materials prior to sending out to members to fill in priorities and discussion areas. The
goal would be to review the workplan at a special meeting in March.
