Supplemental Information / ZOA23-00001 and CPA23-00001
INTRODUCTION On March 30, 2023, Planning and Development Services staff provided the Planning and Zoning Commission with a project report for ZOA23-00001 and CPA23-00001. The report included background information, analysis, and a review of the required findings for a zoning ordinance amendment as well as a comprehensive plan amendment. The purpose of this memo is to provide the Planning and Zoning Commission with additional, clarifying information as they review the project report materials in preparation for hearing. Two sections are included: a summary of topics that support why staff has not proposed additional modifications to the proposed zoning ordinance amendment and a list of redlined edits to correct minor errors identified by staff after application submittal. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Modern Zoning Code has been drafted through an extensive outreach process, during which a wide range of concerns and ideas were raised by community members, elected officials, partner agencies and organizations, and business leaders. Many of these recommendations have been incorporated into the draft, however there are some topics for which staff did not propose any modifications. These include: • • • •
Inclusionary Zoning Wireless Communications Facilities use standards Shelters Short-Term Rentals
These have not been modified because of restrictions in state law, or because staff determined they are topics that have received extensive public testimony and conversation in other recent hearings and would be best addressed through a separate public process where those conversations can be fully reviewed and considered.
