City Code Amendment for Cargo Containers <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller informed the Commission that Commissioner Carvelli-Yu provided <br />language suggestions, and she suggested additional language be added to the City Code <br />Amendment per the discussion received at the last Planning Commission meeting. She stated <br />Code now read that cargo containers were not allowed permanently within the City, no matter <br />what changes, structural or cosmetic, had been done to the container to make it appear more like <br />a typical accessory building. These language amendments were discussed with the Commission <br />in detail. She questioned how this addition should be added to the Code. The Commission <br />recommended the language be added as an extension to part A of the Code Amendment for <br />Cargo Containers. <br /> <br />Associate Heller commented she would make the revisions and bring this back to the <br />Commission on May 1st for approval. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />B. Review City Code to Promote Development & Sustainability <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller informed the Commission that the Council has requested the Planning <br />Commission review the City Code in order to discuss ways the City can promote development <br />and sustainability, particularly along the County Road 10 corridor. She stated the City Council <br />has been working for over a year on various ways to improve the corridor, and wants to make <br />changes to the City Code that would promote development. <br /> <br />Associate Heller asked if the Commission had any comments on the April 1, 2013 Council <br />Worksession. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson was pleased that local developers and real estate agents were able to attend the <br />Worksession. <br /> <br />Commissioner Carvelli-Yu requested further information on the PUD process and how this <br />would affect redevelopment. <br />
