On Monday, September 16, the City Council will hold a public hearing on proposed legislative text amendments to the Land Use and Development to bring the Code into compliance with the statutory requirement that standards for residential development be clear and objective.  The Planning Commission held a hearing on the application on June 25 and has recommended the amendments be enacted.

Robert & Kay Pendleton have submitted an application for the City to annex the property at 1660 E Jefferson St.  The 1.4 acre property is currently developed with a single family dwelling.  No additional development activity is proposed.  

 

The Planning Commission public hearing was held on June 24.  The application form, a map of the area to be annexed, and the applicant's narrative statement are provided below.  Also below are the staff report and the Planning Commission's order recommending approval.  

 

The City Council's public hearing is scheduled for August 19.  The staff report and a draft ordinance are provided below.

Recent changes to state law require the local governments may only apply "clear and objective" standards to residential development.  City staff has identified a number of current provisions in the Land Use and Development Code that may not meet the statutory requirement, in that they are subjective or vague.

 

The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 24 on a set of amendments intended to bring the Code into compliance with the statutory requirement.  In summary, the proposed changes:

 

  • Require garages to have the same exterior materials as the house
  • Clarify the siding requirements for manufactured homes
  • Establish an defined slope above which the exposed material enclosing the underside of a manufactured home may exceed 12 inches on the downhill side
  • Modify the purposes of the multifamily standards remove subjective purposes
  • Clarify the multifamily standards for balconies and outdoor corridors
  • Specify a depth needed for an entry recess on multifamily dwellings
  • Clarify the siding requirements for multifamily dwellings
  • Remove reference to compatibility in the criteria for land divisions
  • Clarify the requirements for a send entrance for subdivisions or multifamily developments
  • Clarify the fish habitat protection standards.

 

A copy of the proposed amendments for the hearing, the staff report and the Planning Commission's order recommending adoption of the amendments are posted below.

The City Council will hold a public hearing on the proposed amendments on Monday, September 16.

Ordinance 1019, enacted in June 2018 established certain maintenance standards for commercial properties in the downtown area.  In the winter of 12019 the City Council a pointed a Committee to review these standards.  The committee has proposed a set of amendments to the Code that would expand certain maintenance requirements city-wide, address smoking on public sidewalks, awning maintenance, and illumination of building facades in the downtown area.

The City Council will be holding a public hearing on the proposed Code amendments on Monday, August 19.  A copy of the report from the Committee to the Council and a copy of the proposed amendments are provided below.
