This version continues to show redlining to identify the changes from current code, with yellow highlighting to identify updates made for prior versions, and blue highlighting for changes since the Council’s first reading on this ordinance on March 25, 2025. Only the first section relating to Fees (and the ability of a permittee to request an extension) required amendment per the comments made at the first reading. The code sections are again summarized briefly below to assist in the Council’s discussion and review, and notations are made reflecting the comments from the prior reviews. PRIOR ACTION The Planning Commission held a public hearing on items specifically related to zoning actions. The Commission passed many of these on for eventual adoption by the City Council, which staff has prepared as a package with both zoning and general code items. On March 25, 2025, the City Council held its first reading of this ordinance, following a March 11, 2025 worksession. PROPOSED ORDINANCE SECTIONS Section 1. This language incorporates a penalty fee clause for property owners who proceed to do work without the requisite zoning or other applicable permits. The Building Code (separate from the City Code) imposes a double-fee for those who undertake a construction project without the required Building Permit. This clause enables the City to set an appropriate penalty fee as a part of the City’s fee schedule, which is typically adopted and updated on an annual basis.
