Although this bill was on the Commission's April 4, 2024 regular meeting agenda and May 2, 2024 continued meeting agenda,the Commission was not able to hear the matter due to a lack of quorum. Section 25-2-43(b) indicates that the Commission has 120 days to provide a recommendation to the County Council from the date the bill is transmitted to the Planning Director. If the Commission fails to act in that period of time, such inaction shall be considered as an unfavorable recommendation by the Commission. Since the Commission failed to act by May 29, 2024, an unfavorable recommendation of Bill No. 123 is being provided to the County Council.
