zoned as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) with a base zoning of General Commercial (C-3). The

uses permitted uses within any zone in the PUD, specifically the amendments proposed to remove
the prohibition on drive-thru restaurants. The amendments also slightly modify the purpose
statement behind Zone C to state that it is intended to be developed with townhomes and a
restaurant.
Chair Perthuis invited the applicant to speak. Jeff Novak stated the property is very popular and is
very proud of the development. He stated the property is currently zoned to have a restaurant, so
he does have a right to open a restaurant. He stated he did not consult with the residents but has
responded to the residents’ emails.
Chair Perthuis opened the Public Hearing.

Code (UDC) relating to the Tree Preservation and Landscaping standards specifically as it pertains
to tree preservation, removal and mitigation, streetyard, gateway and parking landscape standards,
and screening and water conservation requirements (UDC General Amendment No. 20-03) – Ethan
Harwell, Senior Planner and Steve McKeown, Landscape Planner
Staff report by Harwell and Steve McKeown. Staff reviewed over the following:
On July 14, 2020, the City Council directed staff to review the City’s tree preservation and
landscaping standards as a part of the 2020 UDC Annual Review Cycle. The purpose of these
revisions is to address ambiguity, conflicts with other code sections, and challenges found in its
implementation on several development projects. This original list of items was discussed by the
UDC Advisory Committee, the Planning & Zoning Commission, and the City Council. The UDC
voted to recommend approval of these proposed redlines at their March 10, 2021 meeting.
At their March 9, 2021 meeting the Council directed staff to research two additional topics for
consideration as UDC Amendments.
Consideration of trees smaller than 6-inches in diameter as credit trees.
Consideration of trees planted in residential lots as credit trees for the purposes of tree mitigation.
These topics were discussed by the UDC Advisory Committee at their April 14, 2021 and May 12,
2021 meetings. The Committee worked through each issue and has proposed terms for each topic.
The purpose of this meeting of the UDCAC is to make a recommendation to the City Council on
these proposed terms. Attachment VI contains the proposed redline amendments to the UDC.
Highlighted changes are new changes since the March 2021 recommendation to accommodate for
the additional issues included in the amendments by the City Council.
The summary of the UDCAC discussion from the April 14, 2021 and May 12, 2021 meetings are
included with this item (Attachment II). A survey was open to the public on the proposed terms for
the additional items. The results of this survey, open May 31, 2021 to June 10, 2021 are also included
(Attachment V). Included in all attachments are also the corresponding information from the first
round of amendments approved on March 10, 2021.
