82 Proposed Chapter 804: Wetlands - All upland within 100 feet of the delineated 83 boundary of a wetland, and includes a maximum impervious coverage of 25%. 84 A proposed addition to the Chapter is the inclusion of wetland buffer width 85 averaging. With the proposedbuffer averaging rule, a buffer must be on 86 average 25 feet wide, but can be as narrow as 12.5 feet wide. This buffer 87 averaging language is consistent with the local watershed district rules, who are 88 the Local Government Units (LGUs) in charge of administering the Wetland 89 Conservation Act (WCA) rules. 90 Chapter 803.04: Grading, Erosion and Sedimentation Control; language was 91 modified to include only the first ring properties (or up to 300 feet, whichever 92 is greater) for water resources identified in our Shoreland Ordinance, instead 93 of increasing the distance to 1,000 feet. The 300-foot distance from a water 94 resource identified in this chapter is consistent with our current permitting 95 rules. Increasing the distance to 1,000 feet from a water resource identified in 96 our Shoreland Ordinance Chapter would affect 2,557 properties, and would 97 require these properties to apply for a Grading, Erosion and Sedimentation 98 Control permit when doing any modification to their property. 99 o Include references to Title 8 within the Shoreland Overlay where appropriate 100 o Definitions –staff reviewed the definitions in the Shoreland Overaly and Section 1001 101 to make sure there are not duplicates or conflicts 102 Electric vehicle charging standards (Section 1019.04): 103 o Clean up the references to EVCS and EVSE 104 o Revise Table 1019-2 regarding accessible parking space requirements 105 o Make sure fractional numbers require rounding up to one 106 New & revised definitions (Section 1001.10): 107 o No additional comments beyound ensuring there are not duplicates and/or conflicts 108 between the definitions in the Shoreland Overlay and Section 1001 109 Revised landscaping standards (Section 1011.03): 110 o No changes needed 111 Creation of sustainability incentives (new Section 1011.13): 112 o Remove entirely – concern about the stacking of incentives, reconsider at a different 113 time, maybe as a pilot project 114 115 The Ordinances provided in Attachments A and B incorporate the City Council direction received at th 116 the January 30 meeting. 117 118 The Public Works Environment & Transportation Commission reviewed the changes to Title 8 at their 119 February 28, 2023 meeting and recommended acceptance of the proposed ordinance changes. 120 121 Representatives from HKGi are not available to attend the meeting. City staff should be able to address 122 any questions or concerns, but given HKGi has most of the Shoreland Overlay and electric vehicle 123 requirement expertise, it is possible questions could arise that staff cannot answer. If that occurs, the 124 item should be tabled to a future meeting to ensure HKGi is available. 125 126 Given the length of the ordinances provided in Attachments A and B, a summary publication is 127 recommeded to save on publishing costs. The summary lanauge is provided as Attachment C. A th 128 summary publication requires a 4/5 vote of the City Council. Page 3 of 4
