Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes May 16, 2023 Page 8 1 Commissioner Morita asked if this was added to the Code would Code Enforcement go 2 around and remove signs that are in the right-of-way. He stated this is being restrictive. 3 4 Chair Socha stated her personal preference would be to have more restrictions to avoid the 5 clutter in the right-of-way. 6 7 Chair Socha questioned why the number of days for temporary signs differs between the two 8 paragraphs. Mr. Grittman stated that was intentional. 9 10 Commissioner Kuykendall asked about the community and school events signs. In some cases 11 signage is the only way to communicate to constituents. It is difficult to get information 12 distributed through the school district. 13 14 Chair Socha stated the City needs to be supporting the community building events. This 15 would be a reason to be less restrictive. Chair Socha suggested 28 days makes sense in no 16 more than four periods. The Commission agreed it could be modified to just state 28 days. 17 This pertains to 155.23 (G). 18 19 Mr. Grittman reviewed the section 10.99 General Penalty. He noted this parallel’s the City’s 20 Building Code. The hope is to use this as a piece of encouraging people to comply with the 21 City’s Code. 22 23 Mr. Grittman reviewed the section 150.090 Rubbish and Recyclables. 24 25 Mr. Grittman reviewed the section 152.176 Accessory Buildings. This was modified to clean 26 up a gap. 27 28 Mr. Grittman summarized stating Staff is seeking Planning Commission comments and 29 recommendation on the series of Code Amendments and the issues noted. A public hearing 30 has been noticed for these draft amendments, although some of the changes are not zoning 31 codes. It has been Staff’s practice to bring all of the code sections for consideration by the 32 Planning Commission, although only the zoning amendments are technically required to be 33 held at a public hearing. This policy helps with promoting transparency and benefits the City 34 from the Commission’s perspectives and input. The modifications indicated will be 35 implemented in the Code. 36 37 Chair Socha closed the public hearing at 8:58 p.m. 38 39 Motion by Commissioner Morita, seconded by Commissioner Gaveske, to recommend the 40 City Council adopt the Code Amendments as recommended with the addition of amending the 41 requirement for two covered spaces to one covered space for residential homes. 42 43 Motion carried 7-0. 44 45 IV.STAFF REPORTS - NONE. 46
