GROWTH MANAGEMENT UPDATE (F. Satterstrom)
Planning Manager Fred Satterstrom reported the Planning Commission went
on a City tour as part of the Workshop on April 25, 1994 looking at
residential density issues. They looked at multifamily development
ranging in density from 9-10 units per acre versus the kind of
development that occurs when there is 20 units or more per acre. They
also looked at certain Single Family areas to get a feel for low
residential densities, such as small lots on East Hill in the Dover
Place PUD and the 5,000 square feet lots in North Park.
Fred reported he has finished up with the Economic Development
Committee as of May 3, 1994. This document will be ready to go to the
Planning Commission soon.
Fred also mentioned that the Planning Department is shooting for a
release date of June 6, 1994 for the Environmental Impact Statement as
well as the draft Comprehensive Plan.
On the Capital Facilities Plan that is moving forward at the same time,
the Mayor is presently working on the recommended levels of service for
the different capital facilities. A Council Workshop is to be set up
soon.
On the Land Use Video, there are no preliminary results at this time.
The GMA Planning Council is meeting on May 4, 1994 to being to make a
decision on the urban centers designation.

TOM SHARP DISCUSSION OF SHARP ANNEXATION (L. Orr)
Planning Director Jim Harris briefly went over the March 22, 1994 memo
to the Mayor and Council on the Status of Pre -zoning for Annexations.
The memo stated there is a Council policy specifically stating that the
City shall not initiate zoning hearings for annexed land until the
annexation ordinance has been adopted by the Council. Also, the Zoning
Code specifies that upon annexation of property, the Planning Director
shall commence all necessary steps to zone such property.
There was much discussion of the current policy. Councilmember Clark
MOVED and Councilmember Johnson SECONDED a motion to not change the
current annexation policy. Motion carried.
PERMIT AND PLAN REVIEW FEES - RESOLUTION (B. Hutchinson)
This item was continued from the April 29, 1994 Committee meeting.
The memorandum included in the agenda packet clearly indicates the
original intent was to offer a service of providing a basics form of
plan review for single family buildings only. Therefore, Mr.
Hutchinson recommended that the Committee adopt the resolution that was
brought to the meeting on April 19, 1994 by City Attorney Roger
Lubovich that basic plan review is for detached single family dwellings
only. This resolution was passed out again at this meeting and briefly
gone over by the Committee members. Councilmember Clark MOVED and
Councilmember Johnson SECONDED a motion to adopt the resolution as it
was presented at the Committee meeting with the highlighted changes and
to forward this resolution for adoption to the Council at the May 17,
1994 Council meeting. Motion carried.
