parcels.

them.

impacting creeks and waterways.

stating that staff was requesting direction from the Council so.that an
ordinance could be prepared which would implement one of the three options

either option 1 or 2. Option 1 would provide for primarily only ARC review
of creek - related aspects of any projects applying the uniform storm design
criteria for waterways and all other policies and standards for flood plain
management adopted by Council. Option 2 would require ARC approval of
those projects impacting the creeks for consistency with flood management
policies except for any structure which was in any portion of the creek
area measured from the. top of the•bank at one side to the top of the bank
at the other side or in an area proposed for creek widening. This referral
would be directly to the City Council and would'halt ARC final action until
the Council reviewed the structure. •Option 3 would include all projects
impacting one of the four major creeks and would require review by the
Council.

staff of either options 1 or 2.
