Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 8, 2017 Page 10 Mayor Roe sought the City Council's interest in applying a penalty for the lack of up-to-date training records; with no interest shown in doing so. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Etten, McGehee, Laliberte and Roe. Nays: None. Recess Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 8:04 p.m., and reconvened at approximately p.m. f. Review and Provide Comment on the First Two Chapters of a Comprehensive Technical Update to the Requirements and Procedures for Processing Subdi- vision Proposals as Regulated in City Code, Title 11 (Subdivisions) (PROJ0042) As detailed in the RCA dated April 24, 2017 (tabled to tonight's meeting), Senior Planner Bryan Lloyd reviewed the process in this first iteration of a side-by-side comparison of current subdivision code and preparation revisions. In the review of the first two chapters, Mr. Lloyd noted that consultant and staff comments and sug- gested revisions, as well as Planning Commission discussions of the first two chap- ters were reflected in this draft for City Council review and comment. Except in those areas highlighted, Mr. Lloyd advised that the majority of the revisions repre- sent replacement or removal of outdated language, definitions needed or no long relevant, and other updates as indicated. Mr. Lloyd also noted that while the more important details remain in the subdivision code, staff was recommending reloca- tion of more technical (e.g. street types and specifications) in documents outside city code for easier and more periodic updating. Mr. Lloyd advised that this was in response to the City Council's interest in a more streamlined process but greater depth of detail similar to the preliminary plat application process, and thus ap- proached similarly. With the Planning Commission just having completed their review of the remaining chapters, a second look at the first two chapters at their May 3, 2017 meeting, and meeting minutes pending, Mr. Lloyd advised that a more formalized version and those minutes would be available for the City Council at their next review, May 15, 2017. As to the proposed formatting and drafting of a new subdivision code, Mr. Lloyd advised that the intent was that, since platting alternatives are more concentrated in the last chapter of the current subdivision code, they would now be encompassed in a process-focused chapter. Therefore, Mr. Lloyd advised that revisions from the fourth chapter and final chapter of current code were not located in another portion of code that the City Council would see tonight unless found unnecessary to retain. While there remain three chapters yet to review, Mr. Lloyd advised that all content of current code would and could be accounted for in the new proposed code in some way.
