ADDITIONAL
BUSINESS
a. City Council Follow -up - Ms. Temple noted that at the last City Council
meeting, the decision of the Planning .Commission was sustained regarding
the appeal of use permit for Josh Slocum's; an Ordinance was introduced on
the changes to appeal and calls for review procedures of the City Council;
and regarding the Zoning Amendment for Group Living Uses, significant
changes needed to be made and therefore this item will come back at a
future meeting for introduction. A brief discussion on the appeal process took
place.
b. Planning Commission's representative to the Economic Development
Committee - meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 8th at 8 in the
morning to discuss the General Plan Alternatives.
c. Report from Planning Commission's representatives to the General Plan
Update Committee - a meeting was held to discuss the General Plan
Alternatives.
d. Matters which a Planning Commissioner would like staff to report on at a
subsequent meeting - Ms. Temple reported on the Goldenrod property that
has the free standing 8 -9 foot tall awning on the roof deck. Following an
analysis of the Zone Code, should the Building Department require the
structure to be attached to the building, it would be regulated as to height by
the Zoning Code. The Building Director has indicated that the structure has
to be attached to the building and couldn't be free standing in order to be
safe. It is therefore regulated by Title 20 and the Building Department has
commenced communication with the property owner regarding its removal.
