MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 2 Commissioner Johnson discussed ways in which Mrs. Ryan could also achieve her goals of her property if ADUs did not make it into the code, which included subdividing the property and building a new home next door. Planning Consultant Weber addressed the Commission stating that we have discussed in length about attached and detached ADUs and that there has been some trepidation within the Council to allow for them within the code in regards to parking. Councilmember Torkelson stated that the Council did not make a decision yet in regards to ADUs and is still in the process of looking at all of the options in regards to allowing them within the zoning code. Further discussion will be a part of the update process. Mrs. Ryan stated that her other options could be to request a Text Amendment down the road to include detached ADUs, potentially subdividing the property, which is not their first choice, but they are alternative methods. Commissioner Johnson suggested potentially having a joint meeting with City Council to discuss further. PUBLIC HEARINGS No public hearings. COMMISSION BUSINESS: ZONING CODE FIRST FINAL DRAFT REVIEW The Community Development Director stated that this is a continued discussion with the zoning code update. She noted that throughout this process, staff has met with the Council on a few occasions and there was direction from the Council on nine different areas focused on the code. She stated that this is the first final draft review of the zoning code update and that the public hearing for the code is set for City Council on October 27 with the code coming to the Planning Commission at their next meeting on October 14th. The Community Development Director provided additional input on the potential concerns related to duplexes that arose during the discussions with the City Council. She noted that staff has received three recent queries related to accessory dwelling units. Commissioner Johnson noted that maybe the discussion of duplexes can be brought back to the Council discussion. Commissioner Schwalbach asked about outdoor storage language for commercial and industrial as well as Conditional use permits and licensing.
