Committee Actions
1. Agenda Item No. 1 — Approval of minutes of October 22, 2008.
Action: Committee approved draft minutes.
Vote: Consensus
2. Agenda Item No. 2 - Zoning Code Re -write
• Review of Part 4 Standards for Specific Land Uses and Nonconforming Uses
and Structures
Action: The Committee reviewed comments prepared by Committee
members Eaton and Hawkins regarding standards for specific land
uses and nonconforming uses and structures of the draft code. The
Committee and Advisory Members discussed and directed staff to:
• re -look and possibly revise Section 20.60.020 subsection C.1.
and C.2. pg. 4-4 — use uniform number for distance for C.1 and
C.2. and check with City Attorney regarding the rationale used
for the location restrictions
• revise Section 20.60.080 subsection A.3.a and A.3.b. pg. 4-13
— revise language so requirement is more general so there are
not specific distance requirements
• revise Section 20.60.100 E.3.a. pg. 4-19 — change 800 feet to
1,000 feet
• revise Emergency Shelter definition — delete e.g. list
• revise use tables so that Emergency Shelters are only
permitted by right within the PI district
• re -look at and clarify Section 20.60.130 subsection C.1. pg. 4-
22
• re -look at Section 20.60.130 subsection D. pg. 4-23 and
discuss further with Committee on whether residential noise
standards should apply to non-residential mixed-use projects
• revise and look into Section 20.60.130 subsection F. pg 4-23 —
replace "tenant" with "resident" — need to clarify that
notification needs to be archived in some type of public record
(e.g. recorded document, CCR's)
• revise Section 20.60.170 subsection B.1. pg. 4-28 — change
100 feet to 300 feet
• re -look at Section 20.60.150 pg. 4-25 and staff will re -organize
accordingly
• delete Section 20.60.140 pg. 4-23 (Oil and Gas Facilities)
• re -look at Section 20.50.020 and staff will revise accordingly to
address the properties that will become non -conforming due to
policy changes in the new Zoning Code
• revise Section 20.50.060 subsection B.3 — limit amount of
addition
• Advisory member Brion Jeannette expressed concern with
plan check staff interpretation of non -conforming chapter —
staff will work with Brion Jeannette to clarify and address
concerns
The public provided comments to the Committee and staff regarding:
• concern with buffer/screening between residential and non-
residential within a mixed use project — clarification provided by
staff that buffer/screening requirement intended between
different zones not different uses
• concern that applying residential noise standards to non-
residential or mixed use districts will cause problems because
commercial uses within mixed use districts can not meet the
noise standards for residential uses therefore defeating the
mixed use district
• coastal map and Sections 20.38 and 20.40 status — staff will
send out e-mail alert prior to these being put on the GP/LCP
Committee agenda
• will residents be notified about becoming non -conforming due to
policy changes for bluff/canyon setbacks — staff is confident that
revised policy will not create the amount of non -conforming
properties that was first perceived with the previous policy, staff
will provide updates on this matter
• non -conforming chapter needs to provide mechanism for
properties that will become non -conforming due to policy
changes of the updated Zoning Code — public input will be
provided via e-mail to staff consisting of a list of major policy
changes that will result in substantial non -conforming properties
