City Attorney Dannheisser said that it was for the convenience of <br />the Commission and developers, \\rith the developer still having a right to appeal to the <br />City Conunission if they disagree 'with the staff decision on their vested rights appeal. <br />There was considerable discussion regarding the proposal. <br /> <br />Commissioner Turetsky repeated his objection to removing the decision from the City <br />Commission and Commissioner Morrow indicated that she was unc-omfortable with some <br />aspects of the proposal. City Attorney Dannheisser suggested that the motivation in the <br />proposal to have staff re\'iew the vested rights application, was to remove the burden from <br />the City Commission. Vice Mayor Kauffinan asked if under the current Code, can City <br />staff grant a developer, with a pre"ious approval, an administrative variance beyond what <br />the City Commission had approved. City Attorney Dannheisser said yes and explained. <br /> <br />Commissioner Iglesias moved and Vice Mayor Kauffinan seconded a motion to adopt <br />the ordinance.
