Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 22, 2016 Page 10 McGehee moved, Etten seconded, [directing staff to return to the Planning Commission ancl process for consideration of} revising proposed language in RCA Exhibit B, Section 3, Item C, line 52 from 70% to SO% to make it con- sistent with LDR-1 designated parcels Councilmember Etten stated he was clearly concerned that 70% was an extreme percentage in LDR-2 areas; and supported a cap of 50% improvement coverage for both LDR-1 and LDR-2 designated parcels. Councilmember Etten further stated he had no problem delaying action on this to ensure the city was covered legally by moving this amendment revision back to the Planning Commission process. Councilmember Willmus spoke in support of sending this particular aspect back to the Planning Commission, opining it was technically different than their origi- nal discussion regarding impervious surfaces; and supported the motion to amend. Councilmember Willmus noted he also had additional comments specific to im- pervious surface ratios. Councilmember Laliberte agreed this was the right process to follow. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, McGehee and Roe. Nays: None. Councilmember Willmus stated he found staff's rationale for the proposed adop- tion of an ordinance at 40% impervious coverage rather than the initially dis- cussed 50% based on a handful of properties exceeding the 30% at 38% to be troubling and advised he could not make that nexus. Councilmember Willmus stated he would not support going to the 40%, and stuck by his comments and the City Council discussion evidenced in the May 23, 2016 meeting minutes, continu- ing to advocate for the 35% ratio. Therefore, Councilmember Willmus stated he would seek to amend draft ordinance language of Exhibit B to reflect that discus- sion, striking the proposed 40% and replacing those references to no greater than 35%. Willmus moved, Etten seconded, amending draft language in RCA Exhibit B, page 2, Section 3, lin3 69 to limit impervious surfaces to 35% versus 40% of the parcel area for all other parcels Councilmember Etten stated his agreement with Councilmember Willmus, noting he preferred the previous 30%, but 35% represented as high as he was willing to go give the city's numerous storm water management control issues.
