Charter Election Proposition P

Shall Section 2.08(f) “Powers of the City Council” of the Charter of the Town of Addison, Texas, be amended to state that no one may serve concurrently on the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Zoning Adjustment?

Impact

This proposition seeks to clarify that no one may serve on both the Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Zoning Adjustment simultaneously.  The Charter is currently silent on this issue. Since the Board of Zoning Adjustment has the ability to review and grant exceptions to zoning regulations adopted by the Planning and Zoning Commission, there is a potential for conflict if a person were to concurrently service on both boards.
