DISCUSSION ITEMS
1. "Greenlight II" Ballot Initiative — Fiscal Impact Report

Sharon Wood led the discussion on this item.

• Exemptions for R-1 through R-2 zoned properties, but not residential in PC
• Question about fees being underestimated
o $100/hr not $40/hr
o Cost of traffic studies too low
Motion: Mike McNamara made the following motion:
Request of staff to prepare a more detailed comprehensive spreadsheet of the estimated range of costs
resulting from a proposed Greenlight II ordinance, from low to high, and specifically include estimates of:
o One-time City costs
o Annual City costs
o Project costs for a small project — particularly `multi -family' or `mixed-use'
o Project costs for a large project — retail/office
o Estimates of the range of costs of the unintended fiscal consequences of the initiative.
Jeannette Thomas seconded the motion.
Vote: Approved unanimously
