3.25 Technical Review

The Amalga Town Council and the Amalga Planning Commission, which advises the Council on zoning matters, have determined that the various aspects of the Permitted and Conditional Review process, as well as the infrastructure review and environmental impact review process of sensitive lands require certain expertise in dealing with special or unique technical situations. These situations may be better dealt with through the formation of technical review committees made up of experts in the field to review the permit and make recommendations to the Planning Commission and/or Town Council regarding conditions of approval. The members shall be appointed by the Planning Commission, with input from the Town Council when necessary and the members shall act as staff to the Planning Commission. These Committees may review projects as directed by the planning commission and submit certificates of review with findings and/or concerns to the Planning Commission prior to their adoption of conditions to the permit. Any appeal from the Committee's decision shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission. If necessary, the decision of the Commission may then be appealed to the Board of Adjustment, and ultimately to the courts. Committees may be formed on a case by case basis as the need may arise and may consist of the same members of previous committees or additional and replacement members as necessary. These Committees may adopt administrative procedures as appropriate and the Committees derive their authority to meet and act under this section of the Code.
