The Temple City Council unanimously agreed to postpone a decision regarding the Temple Planning and Zoning Commission's jurisdiction over plats at the council's Thursday meeting.The council discussed whether to allow the commission to have final approval over plats that don't have any requested exceptions to the city's ordinances.The current regulation states that the Temple City Council examines all the plats, said Temple City Attorney Jonathan Graham.All plats with exceptions would proceed to the council for final approval under the modification, he said.The change would allow developers to continue with their projects faster, Graham said."It's part of the effort to expedite the planning process in Temple," he said.Temple Planning Director B.A. Bailey noted that the modification would allow the commission to act upon properties that were already in line with laws that the council had approved.Councilwoman Sally Myers noted that the commission and the council often had different viewpoints on issues.The council decided to delay its decision in a 5-0 vote after Graham noted that local builders had reservations about the plan and how it would be carried out. by Jonathan Walburgh
