City of Harrisonburg
“Back in December, the ‘We Support Planning’ group filed a
lawsuit claiming the city did not approach the planning process legally with
their plans to build a new municipal building. The group believes the city
should have referred plans and designs to the planning commission.
Chris Brown, the city attorney, said this code change is not
in response to the lawsuit. He said this is something they have been planning
for a while, before the suit was filed. He said they still do not believe the
municipal building needed to be sent to the planning commission. Brown said the
new reference in the city's code is really just about clarification and
limiting interpretation by making sure the local ordinance reads the same as
the state law…
Thomas Domonoske, the lawyer who filed the lawsuit, said the
city code change is an important move for the future but doesn't change the
problems they had with the municipal building.”
