DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND

In order to better implement Low Impact Development (LID) regulations, applicants must complete a site assessment, before development permits are submitted or issued, so that existing site conditions inform the proposed development, resulting in a design more sensitive to LID principles.

 

To that end, new municipal code chapter BIMC Chapter 15.19, Site Assessment Review, facilitates application of new LID regulations as required for certain planning, building, clearing, and grading permits. 

 

The City Council considered a draft ordinance regarding this proposed review process at its meeting on November 22, 2016 (as proposed Ordinance No. 2016-34), and has considered the proposal subsequently at its meetings on March 21, 2017, and April 11, 2017, including a public hearing on the draft ordinance on April 11, 2017.

 

Additionally, on March 2, 2017, the City held a related public information session at City Hall to provide information and answer questions for the public about the proposed low impact development site assessment review process.

 



RECOMMENDED ACTION/MOTION

I move that the City Council forward Ordinance No. 2017-03 to the May 9, 2017, consent agenda.
