Zoning and Platting Commission may want duties swap with Planning Commission - Austin Monitor
Briefly

The Zoning and Platting Commission plans to expand its responsibilities to include most simple zoning cases, site-specific conditional overlays, variances, and other smaller documents. Site-specific issues will be directed to the Zoning and Platting Commission, while broader policy matters will remain with the Planning Commission. This division aims to clarify roles and reduce the Planning Commission's workload, which currently handles the majority of the cases. The changes are expected to streamline the city’s land use process and improve efficiency in case handling.
"The Zoning and Platting Commission’s duties would expand to encompass zoning cases, site-specific conditional overlays, amendments to site plans, variances, and conditional use permits."
"Things that are more planning-planning, more policy-based, would go to the Planning Commission while site-specific issues would go to the Zoning and Platting Commission."
