Publication
REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND:
On November 4, 2020, the City Council approved several changes and updates to the PUD ordinance with
a 3-0 vote (Council members Nelson and Dorschner were absent). The changes included removing the
possibility of a developer getting amenity points for contained parking and for pedestrian improvements
within a PUD. Other changes approved by the Council clarified processes and updated application
requirements to meet current City standards and practices.
As part of the ordinance amendment approval, Staff recommended Council approval of publishing a
summary ordinance of the changes. To do so, however, requires four affirmative votes of the City
Council.
ISSUE BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL:
The City Council is being asked to adopt a Resolution authorizing summary publication for the adopted
ordinance.
REVIEW AND ANALYSIS:
As noted above, the City Council approved several changes and updates to the PUD ordinance on
November 4, 2020. Because there were only three council members in attendance, City staff is bringing
back to the Council a resolution to authorizing a summary publication of the ordinance. Such a
Resolution requires approval by at least 4 of the City Council members.
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff is recommending adoption of a Resolution authorizing summary publication for the adopted
ordinance.
“Move to approve Resolution 2020 - XXX, which is a summary publication of Ordinance XXX.”
