Desk ItemMEETING DATE: 06/02/14 ITEM NO: 16 DESK ITEM �86�t9 COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT DATE: June 2, 2014 TO: MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL FROM: GREG LARSON, TOWN MANAGER ROBERT SCHULTZ, TOWN ATTORNEY SUBJECT: REPORT FROM THE COUNCIL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AD HOC COMMITTEE AND DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION FOR PROPOSED TOWN CODE AMENDMENTS TO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY ZONE REMARKS: After the June 2 Town Council meeting agenda packet and subsequent Addendum were distributed, staff received additional Council questions which are presented and responded to below: L What action is being requested of the Council this evening as there has been minimal public notice for a significant change in Town policy direction? The action before the Council this evening is simply to receive the report and recommendations from the Council Planned Development Ad Hoc Committee and to decide whether or not to direct staff to proceed with the subsequent staff work for Town consideration of the proposed change in policy direction. Tonight's action cannot legally be approval of, or advance approval of, forthcoming policy changes which will need to be considered as required with full public noticing. 2. What will be the process forward if the Council's direction is to proceed with consideration of the proposed policy changes? Full consideration of the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendations will likely require simultaneous development and consideration of General Plan amendments, Zoning Ordinance modifications, and Council adopted policy changes.

Zoning Ordinance modifications must first be considered by the Planning Commission before they can be heard by the Town Council. If the Council directs consideration of these policy changes, staff would recommend scheduling the required hearings before the General Plan Committee and the Planning Commission such that all required actions (General Plan amendments, Zoning Ordinance modifications, and policy changes) come as a single package before the Town Council. 3. What public notice and outreach is anticipated for these future actions? Staff is currently developing an extensive public outreach and notification program for the Planning Commission and Town Council public hearings, if directed to proceed by the Town Council. If possible, this notification will include all current planned development property owners or interests; otherwise, it may be necessary to provide Town -wide notification as has been done on selected other matters (e.g., Alcohol and Entertainment Policy).
