3. Update on the Joint Jurisdictional Zoning Area Comprehensive Plan
process – Jose Dominquez, City Engineer
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that in 2011 the City and County
agreed to exercise zoning jurisdiction jointly. Jose noted that to
expedite the process both bodies agreed to adopt a modified version of
City's Vermillion Comprehensive Plan 2000-2020. Jose noted that, after
the joint comprehensive plan was adopted by both bodies, a new zoning
ordinance for the joint jurisdiction area was created and adopted by the
City and County. Jose reported that in January 2020 the City and County
Planning Commissions agreed to complete a major amendment to the
comprehensive plan for the joint jurisdiction area as the area served by
the joint jurisdiction had experienced enough changes that amending the
current plan would benefit the area. Jose noted that staff has been
working with the City's Planning Commission, the County's Planning
Commission, and the Southeastern Council of Governments (SECOG) on
developing a new comprehensive plan for the joint jurisdiction area. Jose
reported that to date the Planning Commissions have discussed the
following sections/chapters: Introduction, Demographic Conditions,
Development Constraints, Land Use, and Infrastructure Assessments. Jose
reviewed a brief summary of the importance of each section/chapter and
any important notes concerning them. Jose noted that a public meeting on
the Joint Jurisdictional Area Comprehensive Plan has been scheduled for
October 26, 2020 and there will be a few more public hearings before the
process is done. Discussion followed on the Joint Jurisdictional Area
Comprehensive Plan with Jose answering questions of the City Council.

spaces stating that the City Attorney has reviewed the agreement. Jose
