When Mr. Palaniuk discussed the language for the amendment to the medical/dental facilities, Commissioner Carlsen said she did not feel the wording in the last condition was stated correctly. It was written: New or remodeled structure may not exceed 10% of the current building footprint. Commissioner Carlsen felt this meant a new building could only be 10% of the size of the building which had been on the property. After discussing the subject the language was changed to read New or remodeled structure may not exceed 110% of the current building footprint. Commissioner Carlsen moved to approve the Planning Commission findings and recommendation as they had been modified with the change in the language to the medical/dental amendment. This motion passed seven to zero. Study Session—Draft Shoreline Master Plan,Formal Adoption Process: Sr. Planner Lori Barlow gave the Commissioners an overview of the Shoreline Master Plan which is now ready for formal adoption by the City. The City began its update in 2009, and now the various components have been complied into the Shoreline Master Plan itself and its appropriate appendices. The Shoreline Master Plan Contains: • The Goals and Policies • The Environmental Designations • The Development Regulations • The Critical Areas Regulations Along with the appendices o Public Participation Plan o Shoreline Inventory o Shoreline Public Access Plan o Restoration Plan o Cumulative Impacts Analysis o No Net Loss Report The draft Plan will ready for a public hearing on October 9, 2014. After the public hearing, the Commission will send a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council will go through its adoption process and then forward the Plan to the Dept. of Ecology (DOE). The DOE will begin its own adoption process. This process will include a review, it could hold its own public hearing, and then either adopt the Plan or send it back to the City requesting changes to the Plan Ms. Barlow said the Plan had already been forwarded to the Technical Review Committee. The Commissioners asked if staff expected any comments at the public hearing. Ms. Barlow said that at this point she did not expect any comments which had not already have been heard and addressed, but 09-25-14 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 3 that the issue of how the City is addressing the docks at Coyote Rock would be one which would likely come up again. Commissioners noted the copies they had had some numbering issues which were not completely in line with the Table of Contents. Ms. Barlow explained staff were still reviewing the documents for consistency, common language, numbering, etc. since some of the items had not been looked at since they were first approved by Council resolution. Some of the documents were approved 2009/2010 and differing terms were used in the documents. The task to bring them all together and make them consistent had not been completed yet. The goal is to have the document polished and refined prior to sending it on to the City Council for review, but it would not likely happen prior to the public hearing. GOOD OF THE ORDER: Ms. Horton asked the Commissioners to return their Comprehensive Plan notebooks to the City for an updated version. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 7:29 p.m. Joe Stoy, Chairperson Date signed Deanna Horton, Secretary 09-25-14 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 3
