Chairman

C.	Building & Zoning Administrator, Kevin Rudd

D.	City Attorney, Dale Coulam

Dale Coulam reported on upcoming agenda items. Kevin Rudd will begin a discussion at the next meeting on allowing chickens in some residential zones, and in October we will start drafting some language. Since this came as a request from the City Council and Council Member Densley, Staff would like to piggyback this with another public hearing since it will be an expense to the City for the notices.
Also, there will be a discussion on the Sensitive Lands Ordinance which will be an involved and lengthy discussion. The interns did a good job illustrating what the current ordinance does and what the impact is on a piece of land.  In the presentation they took some hypothetical situations and showed what a possible development would look like under the current ordinance and then showed two alternatives. Their conclusion was that as it is currently drafted the Sensitive Lands Ordinance does not work for multi-family, high residential or commercial developments. The Commission is challenged with the task to draft an ordinance that does but would still provide reasonable protection to sensitive lands. The ordinance works fairly well with low density situations because it encourages clustering.
We were impressed with the interns' presentation and that they read and understood the ordinance.
At the next meeting the Planning Commission will review the presentation for those that were unable to be at the Council meeting.

E.	Items to be placed on future agendas

1. Discuss allowing chickens in residential zones
2. Review multi-family ordinance to specify setbacks
3. Discuss Sensitive Lands Ordinance

MOTION: Commissioner Lance Anderson moved to adjourn
SECOND: Commissioner Jeffrey Loris
