He suggested including a step to have the City Administrator sign <br />off so there is one more check in place to make sure there isn't something wild and really <br />unusual that gets through administratively. <br />Associate Planner Gladhill noted that approval is at the discretion of the Zoning Administrator <br />and also they proposed that any Site Plan approval handled administratively would be noted in <br />the Consent Agenda as well as notification to the Planning Commission at their monthly <br />meeting. <br />Councilmember Look stated that if it just in the Consent Agenda, the Council wouldn't be keyed <br />into the process and wouldn't have answers to questions from residents or neighbors. <br />Community Development Director Miller suggested that the information could be included in the <br />Weekly Update with some background information. <br />City Council / March 24, 2009 <br />Page 4 of 9 <br />
