It was moved and seconded to approve the minutes from August 15, and the motion passed unanimously. There were three changes requested to the July 18, 2018, which included a typographical error, corrected language to a statement about aggregate tax value (page 4, paragraph 2), and a request for information for detail from Verizon (page 5 paragraph 1). It was moved and seconded to approve the minutes as amended, and the motion passed unanimously. IV.

He also informed the Commission of the public meeting from September and discussed the online questionnaire and desire for additional public comment.

Mr. Hastie then took the Commission through the draft code. Questions and discussion points from the Commission included: Question about heliports being conditional use. It was noted that this was allowed in the existing code under industrial uses, but not in the Riverside Industrial zone. Question about personal storage spaces not being allowed in the zone. The concern had to do with a possible need being created due to the density of the lots. Suggested to make it a conditional use in the riverside industrial zone. Noted that industrial storage was fine, but personal storage was not. Commission agreed that it should be added as a conditional use. Question about what a specialty trade business is. Explained that this was generally contractors who had storage on site. Height bonuses and setbacks Commercial and Residential fence standards. Solar heating, orientation, and panels. Green roofs and whether there is an example of one in Dundee. Question about whether mirror image is allowed. It was requested to amend the requirement to changing two things from house to house. Question about whether a garage larger than a single would need to incorporate a window in the garage door. Noted that a 2-car garage is not allowed unless it is facing an alley, however two garage doors could be put side by side. It was requested to add a window standard. RV/Boat garage doors and height. Whether it would be an issue given the small lot size. A desire was expressed to add code to limit an accessory structure to the main house height. Discussion regarding the master planning process and what would happen if the owners were to sell off a portion of the property. Discuss about fee in-lieu of instead of dedicating a specific amount of land in a specific section and why the developer agreements need to specifically talk about neighborhood parks. Water capacity; City has adequate capacity to serve 10 years of development. Discussion about what this means. Belief that this supply of land will last the next 20 years of development. V. Planning Issues from Commission Members. Chairman Howland stated that she had attended the City Council meeting to listen to the complaints about Commissioners. She noted that City Council concluded by 1) offering training and 2) potential mediation with complainants. CA Daykin stated that the group was pushing for additional investigative work, but it was determined that the public record was sufficient to provide the facts. City Council did not believe process was flawed or bias, but additional training could help. There was some conversation about the possibility that the City Council likely received more complaints and were better versed to deal with them. CA Daykin noted that an appeal had been filed on the McCaw subdivision and noted that part of appeal states that the Planning Commission was (implicated) bias. There was discussion regarding the used car sales business; some additional questions regarding the draft Riverside Code; November s planning commission date due to its Planning Commission Minutes September 19, 2018 P a g e 2
