7'0 4.4 Chapter 1005.- The lone change to the Commercial and Mixed-Use Districts chapter 7'1 would be to allow nursing homes and assisted living facilities as conditional uses in more 7'2 districts. Drafts of the new Chapter 1005 dating into November 2010 included nursing 7`3 homes and assisted living facilities as conditional uses in the Neighborhood Business T4 (NB), District,, but this was somehow lost during the final edits in November and 7'5 December. As Planning Division staff was contemplating a correction of Table 1005-1 to 7'6 reestablish the uses as "conditional ", staff could not think of a compelling reason to 7 . .... 7' exclude them from the Community Business (CB), and Regional Business (RB), Districts. 7'8 This is why Attachment C shows nursing homes and assisted living facilities as 7'9 conditional uses in all of the districts; if the Planning Commission or members of the 80 public feel strongly that they should be excluded from the busier/less residential CB and 81 RB Districts,, staff would welcome further discussion of those points of view. 82 4.5 Chapter 1008 .-Proposed changes to the Park and Recreation District are intended to 8'3 structure the chapter in a way that is consistent with its counterpart chapters. No changes &4 to the content are proposed. Attachment D shows that the amendment comprises 85 relocation of the Design Standards section before the table of allowed uses, and re-titling 86 the re-numbered § 1008.03 as "Table of Allowed Uses"'. 8 7, 4.6 Chapter 1009.- Another mostly-clerical change, shown in Attachment E, is the 88 specification that the conditional use requirements for nursing homes apply to assisted 89 living facilities as well. go 4.7 Chapter 1010 91 a. Since the adoption of the current Sign Regulations in 2007.- the Planning Division has 92 encountered a few difficulties with the requirements; has taken on sole responsibility for 9'3 reviewing, approving, and issuing sign permits; has considered an increase in the types of 94 sites or properties that should fall under the Master Sign Plan process; and has seen a 95 growing desire for dynamic signs. The City Planner is continuing to work on more 96 substantive revisions to the sign code to better address these needs, and will forward a 9 7' draft to the Planning Commission in March or April for consideration. 98 b. Planning Division staff will also be proposing several clerical corrections of district 99 references (e.g., changing references like B-1, B-2, and B-3 to references like NB, CB, 100 and RB); eliminating references to Planned Unit Developments; and updating citations to 101 be consistent with the newly-adopted code. 102 4.8 Chapter 1017 10'3 a. The Shoreland,, Wetland,, and Storm Water Management chapter is in great need of a 1 G14 comprehensive overhaul and update, but Public Works and Community Development 105 staff members believe that the existing ordinance should be left mostly as it is until the 106 State sorts out the base requirements for a new model ordinance. Some immediate 10 7' amendments are necessary, though, to account for the changes made during the recent 108 Zoning Code update process. Attachment F illustrates the proposed amendments. 109 b. Despite the significant number of proposed changes, all of them are clerical and 110 include things like.- updating zoning district references from R -1 and R-2 to LDR- I and ill LDR-2; eliminating references to Planned Unit Developments; updating citations to 112 internal and external chapter or section numbers; changing the designation of 11 '3 administrative responsibilities from the Community Development Director to the 114 Department more generally, consistent with the updated Zoning Code; and repopulating Amendments—RCA-02281 Ldoc Page 3 of 5
