Eliminating the planning board section from the charter
Summary
The board voted to strike the planning board provisions because state law already requires a planning board by ordinance. The planning board still exists and keeps final say on variances and major development orders, and continues recommending zoning changes to the commission.

Impact analysis
None — this is a cleanup measure with no effect on how development review actually works.
Anyone reading the charter gets a cleaner document, and developers still follow the same review process.
