A separate motion on Planning Commission compensation passed 4-1, with Dr.
Ken Greene dissenting, recommending that City Council hold a workshop. The votes address development pressure: 2,600 residential units have been proposed and the city's population is projected to grow nearly 14 percent by 2050.
