John Mandeville, Long -Range Planning Manager, explained the current Administrative Policy.
Neil Havlik, Natural Resources Manager, presented a map detailing the various sizes of the creeks
in and around the City.
Cindy Clemens, recommended that Council consider the questions surrounding the exception
process and the "findings."
Arnold Jonas, Community Development Director, answered Council questions regarding the
flexibility of the exception process of the proposed ordinance.
John Dunn, City Administrative Officer, stated there Is need for a clear statement to the community
about the importance of protecting the creeks, for flood protection, and for a flexible ordinance
because the Administrative Policy is too weak and vulnerable.
Vice Mayor Williams asked for comments from the public.
No one spoke.
Vice Mayor Williams returned discussion to the Council.
Council discussed concerns regarding distance of setback on various parcels and in expansion
areas, and the need for flexibility in the exception process of the proposed ordinance.
After discussion, staff was directed to: 1) Revise the standard setback to more closely resemble
the current administrative creek setback policy, requiring a 20 -foot setback within the city limits;
2) recognize the mitigation measure contained in the Land Use Element EIR by requiring a larger
setback for certain creeks, as areas outside the existing city limits are annexed and subsequently
developed. Focus the application of a larger setback on the larger creeks; 3) revise the exception
provisions of the ordinance to eliminate the averaging provisions and to incorporate some of the
application and findings recommendations presented in the "Streamlined" version of the ordinance
presented to the Council; 4) require setbacks within the Central Commercial zoning district,
recognizing that most of this area is built out with no setback, and that most new development
would be eligible to request an exception. Specify the recommended dimension of the setback,
If 20 feet is not desirable. Staff directed to provide a readable creeks map, which will still be
readable after copied. (General Consensus)
