Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 15, 2017 Page 28 Mayor Roe stated that he supported that also; and with the consensus being to use current language in the rewrite, pending legal tweaks, to direct staff to use current language over that proposed. In Section 255, Mayor Roe asked that staff reconsider the sentence structure con- struction. Mr. Lloyd addressed Section 255, as addressed in the RCA (line 94) specific to non-residential language that he found problematic in current language and expec- tations for residential and commercial zoned designations and expectations whether similar or distinct. Discussion ensued, resulting in staff directed to review and consider new language for Sections 255, 256 and 257, with current language retained for Sections 253 and 254; with specifics addressed in the annually reviewed fee schedule. City Attorney Gaughan noted the need to base these figures and calculations on state law; with the city reasonably determining that a portion of the land is neces- sary based on a particular application, and arrived at with the same level of meth- odology, perhaps relating to differences in residential and commercial zoning des- ignations. While that may be a perception, Councilmember Willmus referenced Langton Lake as an example of commercial development but that park heavily used by those working in businesses during their lunch breaks, referring back to the intent of the Parks Master Plan as well. City Attorney Gaughan duly noted those variables,but cautioned the City Council to keep it in mind. Mayor Roe suggested that the inconsistency between land and cash was currently notable and needed to be addressed better in residential areas. Councilmember Etten referenced the RCA(page 3)with the land option unchanged since its creation in 1989 while cash fees have increased several times during that same period. Therefore, Councilmember Etten spoke in support of bringing it up to 10% for residential as with the cash amount. If potential land changes were proposed, Councilmember Laliberte asked that staff and the Parks & Recreation Commission bring back recommendations for the fee schedule. In Sections 253-254 (pages 11-12), City Manager asked for clarification about the one acre threshold.
