VOTING AYE: Olson, Peltier, Potts, Vail, At�::inson VOTING NAY: None All aye. Motion Carried. PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS In March of this year, the city staff Submitted a questionnaire to City Council members inquiring as to their concerns regarding needed modifications in the city's zoning ordinance. Input was received from most City Council members indicating their concerns and suggestions regarding the updating of our zoning ordinance. Earlier this summer, the city administrator- took. the liberty of preparing a draft rewrite of the conservancy district portion of the city's zoning ordinance in an attempt to reflect a new, simplified format incorporating the recommendations of the City Council. City staff has requested that the Council review this approach to a city zoning ordinance rewrite for future discussion. The staff has received encouragement from the City Council to work on updating the city's zoning ordinance this winter; however, city staff does not want 'to spend the hours and effort necessary in preparing an ordinance that the City Council is not comfortable with. If the staff is to begin working on the zoning ordinance this winter, it would be appropriate to get Council input now so that the ordinance is what the City Council wants as opposed to an ordinance reflecting only the staff's ideas and input. The Council will be prepared to discuss this matter at the next regular City Council meeting (10/17/88).
