PLANNING STUDIES: Request for Interpretation: 1210 East Front Street The Planning Commission was asked to interpret its action of December, 1992, in which a parking variance was approved for a commercial use in the Arterial Commercial District (ACD). It was determined that only one Commissioner was present at the evening's meeting who acted on the parking variance, and due to the recent new appointments and resignations which occurred in February, 1993, there would be only one other Commissioner (Commissioner Philpott) who could respond to the request. It was therefore determined that staff would consult with the City Attorney on his recommendation as to how to proceed at this point. Bylaw Review: Following discussion, Commissioner Nutter moved to change the word "Chairman" to "Chair" and !tVice-Chainnan" to !tVice-Chair", throughout the document. Commissioner Catts seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Commissioner Souders then moved to change the wording !the/she" to "his/her" throughout the Planning Commission Minutes May 26, 1993 P~ge 2 of 3 . regular Planning Commission meetings four mondays in advance of the regular meeting, except when the deadline faDs on a City holiday, the deadline date shaD be at close of the previous regular business day. Commissioner Nutter seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Comprehensive Plan Schedule Update: Senior Planner David Sawyer noted that during the most recent legislative sessiont the legislature granted a one-year extension for the Comprehensive Plan, extending the deadline to July, 1994. However t the legislature did not grant an automatic extension for the development regulations for bringing those into compliance with the.Plan, but offered a six-month extension which may be applied for. It is anticipated that the six-month extension would be granted. At the same time, funding was reduced for growth management related activities to counties and cities by 10%. In essence, an extra year has been given for the Comprehensive Plan adoption, a possible additional six months for development regulations, but they reduced the amount of funding available for the entire process. He proposed a ninety-day Comprehensive Plan schedule extension. The concern being that if too much time is taken in adoption of the Plant there will be less time to bring the development regulations into compliance. An in-house extension to October, 1993, from July, 1993, is suggested as a flexible date, with the ultimate goal of adoption by the end of 1993. . A proposed schedule was presented which calls for the Growth Management Advisory Committee to review the Capital Facilities Element in July, sending the completed document to the Planning Commission for consideration in August, and City Council adoption in October, 1993. He asked that the Commission provide direction as to the extension proposals and provided further explanation as to what material would be available from the Capital Facilities Planning (CFP) committee during June. Commissioner Souders suggested the Growth Management Advisory Group be given the Comprehensive Plan portion of the CFP for a meeting on June 23rd, in order to provide as much time as possible in the short window of review allowed for recommendation by the GMAC. Mr. Sawyer said he would not be able to provide all the text and background by June 23rd; however, the goals and policies are completed and can be forwarded for a June 23rd meeting by the GMAC. The Commission concurred that the submitted schedule for completion of the Comprehensive Plan be adopted. Long Range Planning Issues for 1993-94: The Commission reviewed a proposed list of long range planning items for 1993 - 94. Following review t it was determined the following items would be placed on subsequent meeting agendas for long range items: . . Review and revision of Shoreline Master Plan Capital Facilities Element (August 25, 1993) Review and revision of development regulations for consistency with Comprehensive Plan . . . . . Planning Commission Minules May 26, 1993 Page 3 of3 . Review of Retail Stand Ordinance, farmers market and roadside sales Review of Parking Ordinance . . Review of Sign Ordinance . Public Services Workshop . Public Participation . SEP A Workshop V. COMMUNICATIONS FROM mE PUBLIC David Milligan, 1735 West Sixth Street, asked about the Capital Facilities Plan. Development impacts on schools should be considered when subdivisions and developments are being considered. He asked if concurrency would translate into impact fees. Commissioner Alexander answered that the Capital Facilities group is leaning toward requiring only transportation facilities for concurrency and that concurrency does not mean automatic impact fees. VI. STAFF REPORTS None. VII. REPORTS OF THE COMMISSION The Commissioners thanked staff for the update on the provision of a coat rack in the Council Chambers. Commissioner Catts began a discussion and requested that staff address the wording "paved with asphalt, concrete or other hard surface paving 11 in the Parking Ordinance.
