The attached schedule outlines the review sequence for the development regulations. Ordinance Project Start Up and Organization 1. Meeting with City staff, engineering, public works, building and housing inspection staff to identify issues, concerns, conflicts or enforcement problems pertaining to the existing Subdivision Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance. The discussion would expand on the list of issues outlined in this memorandum. 2. Formulation of Task Force for ordinance review. The City is establishing a Development Regulations Task Force comprised of members of each City advisory committee and chaired by a Council member. This task force composition will provide an excellent means of communicating progress back to the balance of the City Council and advisory committees. The task force that will guide the ordinance review and direct City staff and consultants on preferred ordinance changes. By -Laws shall be established by the City Council governing the Task Force. Ordinance Task Force Workshop City staff has identified a preferred process for undertaking the review of the ordinances. Six workshop meetings are scheduled over the next six months where the task force will meet to discuss the various components of the subdivision regulations that require modification. Starting with workshop meeting 4, the Task Force shall begin its review of the Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance. The schedule anticipates project completion by January 2003. The existing schedule and anticipated project discussion items are identified in Exhibit A. This schedule will be fairly rigid to meet the City Council expectations for project completion. Project agendas will allow for flexibility based on discussions and recommendations of the task force. Consultant will provide ordinance handouts at the end of each meeting for discussion at the next meeting. This would allow the task force members a month to evaluate the discussion items. The process also envisions opportunities for the task force to identify issues, ideas, or questions at each meeting that the staff may research and respond to at subsequent meetings. As the task force concludes the review of topics, staff shall complete draft ordinance language for subsequent task reviews and approvals. At the end of the six month review period, a completed draft Subdivision Ordinance shall be presented to the City Council. At the end of year 2002, a completed draft of the Zoning Ordinance shall be presented to the City Council. City of Lino Lakes Page 6 Project Definition — Ordinance Updates
