Planners Seek Changes to Rezoning Hearings Procedure
Planning commissioner Franklin Gladhill notes no state law requires public hearings for rezonings and suggests recommendations without a hearing, with a possible joint hearing after. Ralph Gordon proposes an administrative law judge system to build a fact record for review, while local attorney Seymour Stern calls for clearer speaking time rules and cross examination to protect opponents. Grassroots groups including Woodville District Citizens Association Urbana Civic Association Braddock Heights Civic Association and Citizens Opposed to the Destruction of the Environment voice support for procedural changes.
