B. Consider Landscape & Signage Improvements on Nonconforming Properties
Mike Rumpf, Acting Planning & Zoning Director, reported that the ad hoc committee has made
a great deal of progress. Field visits were made.
Mr. Rumpf explained that Code regulations are often fairly restrictive in terms of landscaping.
Properties developed before current Code requirements greatly contrast to newer sites. The
City is seeking a way to make minimum improvements to these sites. In an effort to upgrade
these sites to a minimum standard, we have developed a is-step procedure to address
landscaping and signage improvements. The ad hoc committee reviewed the procedure and
had various comments. In addition, they reviewed a draft Ordinance for codification of these
procedures. Concerns expressed were as follows:
1. What should be the ad hoc committee's role from this point forward?
The procedures, as drafted, assume a continued role for the ad hoc committee. However, this
committee was appointed for a 90-day period. There was discussion about the formation of a
review committee to include some members of the ad hoc committee and staff.
2. The issue of approval or denial of a request is also being discussed further by
staff. Since staff views this process as a win-win situation, the intent is to make
everything work. Staff is still debating how to accomplish this. At this point, the
thought would be to look at each project to see what could be accomplished
minimally.
