Dale Coulam stated that the Arts Commission has submitted an updated plan and it was sent to City Council who sent it to the Planning Commission because it was adopted as an element of the General Plan. Judith Kapuscinski explained to the City Council that the Master Plan itself had stayed the way it was and the appendices were now incorporated into the text rather than as separate attachments. After reviewing this, if you still have questions or feel it is too specific or regulating or mandating certain things, come prepared at the next meeting to discuss those items. If you feel comfortable setting a Public Hearing, we will notice that. Commissioner Lance Anderson stated that it was detailed because there was nowhere else that it fits in. Commissioner Bryan Pack stated that he is not ready to forward this on, and he shares concern that they may be regulating too strictly. Commissioner Lance Anderson stated while reviewing this as part of the General Plan, maybe we should implement some of the suggestions into action. Commissioner Adel Murphy stated that she thinks it was good to include the appendices as part of the text.
Dale Coulam discussed a short PowerPoint presentation, a copy of which is available upon request from City Hall. Since the City recently received complaints about concerts out at Kayenta this body may be asked to consider the Conditional Use Permits allowing such outdoor concerts. Permitted uses are allowed per City Code. Conditional Uses are allowed with conditions to mitigate foreseen adverse consequences. Prohibited uses are not allowed. A conditional use shall be approved if reasonable conditions are proposed, or can be imposed to mitigate the reasonably anticipated detrimental effects of the proposed use in accordance with applicable standards, if those have been adopted. If it cannot be mitigated, you may deny the use. Possible standards generally focus on off-site impacts like safety of people and property, health and sanitation, environmental concerns, dust, chemicals, runoff, traffic, light, noise, parking, hours of operation. Commissioner Adel Murphy stated that for example if the lighting ordinance says what the standard is, the standard is already there, but we can be more restrictive. Dale Coulam stated that with conditional uses we are trying to protect the integrity of the underlying zone. We are looking at adverse impacts and imposing conditions so that the uses can co-exist together.
