DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS (File #431) Council discussed the city's development review process. Paul Lanspery, Administrative Officer, briefly reviewed the outline for the Council's.discussion today. Toby Ross, Community Development Director, reviewed the Community Development Department's Semi - Annual Report of January through July 1984, and reviewed how the development review process worked: He then took the Council step -by -step through a diagram of the process used from the time an appli- cant applied for a use permit until construction. Paul Lanspery stated that it was staff's recommendation that Council appoint a Council Subcommittee with the direction to staff to go forward for drafting a Council policy statement on the development review process. Councilman Settle stated he could be supportive of a policy statement. He would like some change made so that Council would be made aware of any large project being developed, for in some cases, it is possible for a large project to go through without requiring Council.approval. .. Councilwoman Dovey agreed. u Councilman Dunin stated that before the policy could be established,. he felt that the people being affected should be made aware of the discussions ' and hopefully increase their participation and provide the development community's point of view. Councilman Griffin agreed and hoped that the Council subcommittee could include a member of the development community. He felt that part of the subcommittee's charge would be to report back to the Council beyond the policy statement and include additional areas for Council /staff.discus- sions. He would hope that the policy statement be made a fairly comprehensive and clear statement. He proposed that he and Mayor Billig sit on the subcommittee: Mayor Billig agreed with Councilman Settle that the Council should be made aware of any major projects and would support Councilman Griffin's suggestion for the subcommittee with him and herself as members. Councilman Dunin urged that a report similar to that made today by the Community Development Director be given by the Fire Department. He would like to see some understanding of the regulations imposed by the Fire Department as well as their cost ratios. He also would hope that the subcommittee would be made aware of outside concerns and included a develop- ment review person. Councilman Settle stated he would encourage comments from the development community including technical suggestions. T. Keith Gurnee stated that he was speaking on behalf of several individuals in the audience. They had met and reviewed the development review process and had material they wished to submit to Council. They had hoped it would be in final form but were not expecting the meeting to be held until tomorrow night. They would urge that the design community be directly involved and were willing to offer their services for free. Upon general consensus, Council appointed Council Subcommittee of Mayor Billig and Councilman Griffin to review the development review process. 1 City Council Minutes Monday, December 10, 1984 - 12:10 p.m. Page 3 Council also supported the recommendation for a draft Council policy statement on the development review process (5 -0).
