Agendas, Backup, Minutes & Audio
The Dunnellon City Council is expected to discontinue captioning services for livestreaming the Planning Commission meetings. As a result, livestreaming must also be discontinued because audio/video will not be ADA compliant for website posting. This change is aimed at reducing captioning costs due to low viewer engagement. This change will take place on October 1, 2024, after which audio recordings only will be available upon request.

Description
The Planning Commission has an administrative review function whereby the Commission reviews all changes to the City’s Comprehensive Plan, by amendment, evaluation, addition and appraisal for consistency with the existing Comprehensive Plan, and reviews all land-related/zoning ordinances to determine consistency to the Comprehensive Plan. With regard to its administrative review function, the Commission makes recommendations to the City Council. The Planning Commission holds quasi-judicial hearings with regards to land planning/zoning cases, site plan reviews, variances, special exceptions, and review/appeal of administrative orders, and forwards its findings/recommendations to the City Council.
