Pate, Director of Current Planning"` Date: September 19, 2008 Subject: UDC Ch. 157 Notification (ADM 08-3021 ) RECOMMENDATION Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of an ordinance to repeal and replace Ch. 157, Notification, of the Unified Development Code, in order to clarify and streamline the process for notification for public meetings. BACKGROUND For several months, planning staff has been working to redraft, in its entirety, Ch. 157: Notification, of the Unified Development Code. The purpose of this chapter is to establish the standards and criteria by which applicants and the City are to notify the public for specific development, land use and variance/appeal requests that require a public hearing. Notification types include: 1 ) Written notification: involves a project description, date and time of the meeting, contact information, etc. sent to adjacent land owners; 2) Posted Notice: involves a sign erected on the site in question, for public view and information 3) Published notification: involves date, time and location of meeting, use and location of project — the City is responsible for this type of notice In the existing code, there are a variety of notification requirements, differing between the multiple types of applications. The City often hears complaints from citizens about notification, which staff believes in large part are due to the lack of consistency between types of notification required for every application. Notices vary between all three types listed above. Staff has proposed a new draft of Ch. 157, incorporating all of the existing code requirements, but streamlining the code so that there is much more consistency between projects. All projects going before the Subdivision Committee will now require a 7-day notification; Planning Commission will require a 14-day notification. Projects currently range from no notification to 7, 10, 14 and 15 days prior to the meeting. In addition, the types of notification have been broken into very clear explanations, and what is expected for each type in order to proceed forward in the review process. This is to combat the complaints staff and the Planning Commission receive that written notices sometimes are not at all informative. In perhaps the biggest change to the ordinance, staff is recommending that applicants post their own notification signs on their sites. Planning Staff would still prepare the signs for posting, after receiving the application, and notify the applicant when the signs are ready to be posted. Applicants would post the sign on the site, take a photo, and provide a signed Certificate of Sign Posting to the Planning office in the time specified. Staff City Council Meeting of October 7, 2008 Agenda Item Number can still investigate missing or downed signs as necessary, but this would reduce the amount of City staff time in the field, driving to each site to erect the sign, and place the responsibility back on the property owner/applicant for whom the application is being processed. Staff has researched multiple cities which utilize a similar system, and it typically operates very smoothly. Ch. 164.11 Exceptions to Height Regulations and Side Setbacks In a previous re -codification of the entire Unified Development Code (2003), a code section regarding side setbacks for townhome development was inadvertently placed in the Notification Chapter. In adopting an entirely new chapter, this section, which is still utilized, must be placed elsewhere. Staff recommends the amended language be placed under Ch. 164.11, which gives similar exceptions to code restrictions, as appropriate. Some of the language contained within this section has been removed, as it is superfluous. Staff finds the re -adoption of the Notification chapter will hopefully result in more consistency of notifying the public, a stream -lined approach for applicants, and reduced staff time and resources dedicated to in -the -field operations for an applicant's proposal. The Planning Commission voted 8-0-0 in favor of this request on September 22, 2008. Staff finds the re -adoption of the Notification chapter will hopefully result in more consistency of notifying the public, a stream -lined approach for applicants, and reduced staff time and resources dedicated to in -the -field operations for an applicant's proposal.

In addition to the requirements and regulations provided in the Fire Prevention Code, the CD157:7 Planning Commission September 8, 2008 Page 11 of 18 ADM 08-3021: (UDC CHAPTER 157, NOTIFICATIONS): Submitted by Planning Staff, an amendment to the Unified Development Code, Chapter 157, Notification, to create consistency in City and applicant notification requirements for all projects, and proposing several amendments. Jeremy Pate, Director of Current Planning, gave the staff report. Planning Commission meetings require public notification for certain development items. For subdivision committee (SC) and planning commission (PC) meetings, some items require 7 days, some 10, some 15, etc. We are trying to simplify this and create the same time frame, 7 days prior to SC, 14 days prior to PC, which is the minimum timeframe. Three types of notification are required in the current ordinance: (1) written notification (project description, date and time of the meeting, contact info); (2) posted notification (red sign placed near the project), and (3) published notification (only the City publishes in the newspaper). The goal is to make notification requirements more consistent. The biggest change in the ordinance is that staff is proposing the applicant post their own signs instead of city staff. This change will save the city time and money. The applicant will pickup the sign with their revision submittal, post it on site, take a photograph, and sign a certificate of posting. Staff may perform spot checks. Another thing we have done is in the UDC chapter for Notifications, there was a section about side setbacks that had no place there; it has been removed and added to chapter 164 as appropriate. Commissioner Trumbo invited public comment. No public comment was received. Commissioner Anthes asked about 157.10, Fire Protection Code, about notifications for blasting. The Code currently requires applicants to notify residential property owners located within 200 yards of the site when for applying for a blasting permit, but does this mean they are not required to notify commercial property owners? Pate stated that since Planning does not use the Fire Prevention Code, they have not proposed to alter it. Motion: Commissioner Anthes made a motion to forward the request to City Council with a recommendation for approval. Commissioner Winston seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of 8-0-0.
