It can approve certain development requests, although it takes unanimous approval of the present members to keep a request from going before the full county commission.<\/p>\n<p>Awareness of the group has increased recently because of its involvement with the contentious Canyon Cliffs development in northern Allen County. Last month, the executive committee approved a revised version of the development. The project now requires no further approval from the plan commission, despite only three members of the executive committee attending the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Several city plan commission members were critical of the use of an executive committee last month. Tom Smith, also on the Fort Wayne City Council, said no subcommittee of a group should be a quorum of the entire group.<\/p>\n<p>Zuber said she believed the county would continue its use of an executive committee.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related AFW Blog Post<\/strong>:<br \/>\n<a title=\"Permanent Link to FW Plan Commission and Executive Committee\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/2008\/09\/22\/fw-plan-commission-and-executive-committee\/\">FW Plan Commission and Executive Committee<\/a> &#8211; <em>22nd September 2008<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='da7b3dfd9629a652fb0dd60b80a67e84' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
