City Attorney Yamamoto responded to a question from Council as to the legality of mentioning in the UWMP the policy adopted by Council with respect to the non - mandatory residential use. He stated his understanding that the policy adopted by the Council, if placed inside the UWMP, when enacted by Council with a resolution adopting this plan is making that policy actionable. The City Council would then be subject to enforcing that policy. The only way to deviate from that policy would be to first go back and open up the process for amending the UWMP, unlike any other standing policy of the Council by which you can simply place it on the Council agenda and amend the policy. PWS Director Ingram explained that the process involves several requirements of State Law such as notification to interested parties, circulating the document and those laws are constantly being revised.
