# Planning Commission Meeting 08/26/26

The City of Milton Planning Commission met on August 26, 2026. Its primary action was a 4–1 vote to recommend a revised urban forest proposal, including tree-removal limits and notification requirements for developed lots, tree-retention and replacement provisions, and a five-year performance bond for certain development-related plantings. Commissioners also supported placing civil penalty amounts in the city’s fee schedule and discussed changes to tree-size thresholds and permit rules. These recommendations may affect future development requirements and related costs; no contract award or procurement vote was made on the proposal.

Staff reported grant funding for a subarea plan and said the city plans to contract with Grant Osborne for an existing-conditions assessment of infrastructure—including roads, water, and power—in an area intended for business and industrial uses. No contract amount or approval was stated. Other zoning-code revisions were discussed, with a public hearing planned for October. No other procurement awards or spending actions were identified.
