Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 6, 2023 Page 17 Councilmember Etten indicated on page 4 of Attachment A of the RCA, line 93 and 108 each start at slightly different parts, 1004.09.C.2 versus 1004.10.C.2, but have the exact same language about the twenty-five percent impervious surface. But when he goes to page 15, lines 425-427, it states "Impervious Surface Cover- age: Lot development shall meet the impervious surface requirements of the under- lying zoning district", which would suggest to be different than from the overlay district. Ms. Gundlach asked if Councilmember Etten was referencing lines from Attach- ment A Ordinance, the Shoreland Overlay Ordinance. Councilmember Etten indicated he was. He explained the first one he referenced was agreeing with the staff presentation. He was fine with these being the same but it brings up the coverage of twenty-five percent impervious in the overlay. The information on page 15 of Attachment A indicates impervious surface coverage will be for the underlying zoning district and the stormwater management require- ments of this code. That is where he was confused because underlying would maybe go back to thirty percent or whatever. Ms. Gundlach thought there may have been a disconnect when Councilmember Etten and she were working together because the idea, the intent, is that when the City goes to the new model Shoreland Ordinance, the City is wrapping in all one thousand foot properties and they cannot exceed twenty-five percent impervious surface. There might be property outside the shoreland overlay district where the requirements in Title 8 apply at which properties may be allowed to be at thirty percent. Mayor Roe indicated this is not Title 8, this is all within the shoreland. He thought page 4 items were referencing things in the Code that are not included in the mod- ification. He thought also the twenty-five percent is only applying to the portion of the lot that is within so many feet and not applying to the other. He thought the language referred on page 15 was the language that says outside of those areas the underlying zoning requirement for impervious still applies. Councilmember Etten thought most of Attachment A in this section is around de- fining things in that shoreland area. He had some concerns in the fully built-up City about the one thousand feet and the impact it is going to have. Mayor Roe thought that the twenty-five percent only comes into effect if there is some significant modification made to the property. He noted that only some af- fected properties are higher than twenty-five percent now and as long as nothing is changed, is allowed to continue as a non-conforming use. Ms. Gundlach indicated that was correct.
