CASE #: 4 PROPOSE.~:[0~INANCE TO AMEND CITY CODE CHAPTER 9 (ZONING AND SUBDIVi$~Ij2}~Ii OF LAND), SECTIONS 9.(}2, 9,21.23, 9.50.37, 9.50.50, AND r ~ SECTION 9.50.57 By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background* · In recent w¢¢k..S Veer have reviewed the need to amend various parts of the Zoning and Subdivision Chapter. The firsi hrea is an amendment to Section 9.02 (Definitions) to eliminate the opportunity to ~nclude roa~l ~ght-of-way when detenmne mxmmum lot area and to include a definmon for parcel The ~e¢6nd is amendments to Sections 9.50.37, 9.50.50 and 9.50.57 to relative subdivision d~ig,fllstandards. The third area is modifying the B-3 Highway Business District to broaden the' p~it!ed uses based on performance standards and eliminate the frequency by which conditional us{ permits would be required. A copy of proPos~ Ordinance 892- is enclosed. Observations: The ComrmsS~on ~as reviewed the proposed code amendments on two occasions. One of the issues discussed ~as the fact that with the elimination of conditional use permits for outside display/salos ~ealsland storage areas, the City also would lose the written authority to require a financial guar~nteel for the site improvements and a completion date for the improvements. It was suggested that~the~ proposed B-3 District regulations be revised to require a site plan review for site improvementS: .. Staff was als~dir~cted to research the possibility of including language in the B-3 Highway Business Distt'ic~{regulations to amortize all nonconforming uses into compliance, relative to required site i~pf0vements, within a specified time frame. Language has been drafted to require all sites in the~B~BiDistrict to be in compliance with the required site improvements (paved and curbed drive'ayah, customer/employee parking and outside display/sales areas) by January 1, 1997. Please i-efe-~ to 9.21.23, subd. 4, item #22. I have no basis for this date so it is certainly negotiable and :ail l~he date of this writing, the City Attorney had not issued an opinion on this language. Language has also been included to establish a procedure for applying for extensions to this complianc~ diite. Recommendation: City Staff reeornmends that the proposed ordinance be forwarded to City Council with a recommendatibn for adoption. Comn~isSiOn Action: Morion,, to:. Recomm~qd that City Council adopt Ordinance g92-__ amending Chapter 9, Sections 9.02, 9.2f.23, 9.50.37, 9.50.50 and 9.50.57. Review Check list!
