PLANNING COMMISSION
Port Angeles, Washington 98362
t /2— ,2011
6:00 p.m.
MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENTS Proposed amendments to Titles 5
(Business Licenses), 14 (Parking), 15 (Environment), 16 (Subdivision), and 17
(Zoning) of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. Amendments are intended to be
minor in nature and are part of an annual review meant to clarify confusing or
conflicting land use regulations and correct obvious errors. A proposal to increase
permitted fence height and to permit the division of properties (short plat) that abut
on improved streets not necessarily dedicated to the City are changes in
regulations rather than clarification of existing language
Chair Reiss opened the public hearing. Planning Manager Roberds began review of the
proposed amendments to various sections of the Port Angeles Municipal Code as outlined in the
October 12, 2011, memorandum to the Commission. There being no public to speak to the
matter, Chair Reiss closed the public hearing.
The Commission began a discussion on each of the matters under consideration for amendment
and agreed that the recommendations made were supportable. Commissioner Powers moved to
recommend that the City Council approve the amendments as proposed. Commissioner
Boyle seconded the motion that passed 5 0.
