, ,� 3 2 � 0� � l 1 with the problem, that if a developer meets the standards of the Subdivision Map Act, the City must accept it, whether requiring an EIR would give the City adequate controls; and the lengthy period of time that would be involved in the process of amending the Zoning Map. , Don Warren (see above) responded to a suggestion for a one-foot non-access strip as an alter�ative, to the effect that they would ob,7ect to such a plan since it would involve their title and ability to transfer title, and would, he believed, in effect make the prop- erty unsalable. He indicated concern regarding their ob�ective to change the appearance of the shoreline, and in that connection they have no guidelines with reSpect to re9ulating the development to answer questions regarding water quality, and believed the suqgestion for the necessity of an EIR might be a good alternative Discussion followed concerning the value of having the information provided by envtronmental impact reports available to assist in making a decision SECOND TO MOTION WITHDRAWN Councilman Bury withdrew his second to the motion The motion died for lack of a second MOTION Councilman Norris moved that Council direct Planning Commis- sion to design a zoning district that allows adequate controls in commercial areas The motion died for lack of a second City Attorney Schricker suggested that the best way would be to de- ' velop standards, and that the Planning Department is the appropriate area for development of such regulations, Nhether by zoning, or by other controls In response to question, he indicated that it would be possible to expedite the process Planning Director Schroeter responded to a su9gestion regarding a pro- posed Combim ng District, advisin9 that Combim ng District designa- tion cannot be placed on CB zoning, and that formation of such a district would require removal of the present CB zoning, reverting to Tidal Plain, and then rezoning to allow a Combining District. He added that such a process would take somewhat longer than the procedure for withdrawing the present zoning to toe of slope. He advised that if Council wished something that would require consider- ation by Council, a procedure could be added to the administrative provisions of the Zoning Ordinance such as the manner in which Planned Development Permits are processed. Mr Schricker suggested that, in addition, other waterways within the City might be included MOTION Councilman Norris moved, seconded by Mayor Leipzig, having relinquished the chair to Vice Mayor Barrett, that staff be directed ' to instruct the Planning Commission to develop a requlation, such as a Zoning Ordinance Combining District amendment, for consideration by Council, possibly utilizing the Use Permit process requiring the preparation of an EIR and sub,7ect to final ap�roval of the City ' Council, for development of lands ad,7acent to and on waterways areas in the City. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote. (MINUTE ORDER NO 77-139) -4- Ad,7 Mtg 7/il/77 /'� �'X`� %°..j Y
