Recommendation: <br /> <br />There are three options for action associated with this item: <br /> <br />Option 1. Approve the second reading and adoption of Ordinance 725. Adoption of the <br />ordinance will help expedite minor variance requests, saving the City and applicants both time <br />and money. In 2003, there were thirteen variance requests. Eight of the requests were for <br />setbacks and four of the eight setback requests would have met the criteria for the administrative <br />variance process. <br /> <br />Option 2. Table action on the second reading and adoption of the ordinance if additional <br />information is needed to render a decision as to the approval or denial of the amendment. <br /> <br />Option 3. Deny the second reading and do not adopt the ordinance. Denial would serve to <br />perpetuate the status quo. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission and Staff recommend Council approve the second reading and <br />adoption of Ordinance 725 because the administrative variance approval process would be <br />beneficial to residents and Staff. Allowing Staff to approve certain variances would significantly <br />shorten the period of time that a resident has to wait for approval and would decrease the <br />amount of Staff time spent on the case. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />Kristin Prososki <br />Planning Associate <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
