19.16.100 Final disposition of annual docket.
A. The city council must take action (approve, deny, or defer) on the current year’s docket before establishing a subsequent docket.
B. The city council may defer action on any specific plan or plan amendment to a future docket if:
1. Additional time is needed to analyze the impacts of the proposal;
2. Retaining the proposal on the docket would unfairly delay action on other proposals that are otherwise ready for a decision;
3. Approval of the proposal depends on the implementation of other rules, standards or policies that either do not exist or are not official by the time the city council is ready to make its decision on the annual docket; or
4. The city council determines that the proposed plan or plan amendment is more appropriately considered during a subsequent amendment process. (Ord. 2992 § 1 (Att. A), 2016)
