Regular City Council Meeting Monday,April 18, 2011 Page 22 confirming that they would have received notice as part of their semi-annual compliance package. City Manager Malinen advised that staff would review the notice history and in- corporate that information for future discussions. Councilmember Johnson personally volunteered to keep off-sale owners in the loop; understanding the importance to their business interests. Recess Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 8:40 p.m. and reconvened at approximately 8:44 p.m. f. Discussion of Zoning Code Based on Council Work Plan Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon provided brief introductory comments related to past discussions of items to be added to the City Council's work plan; and those items related to the zoning code needing additional discus- sion and/or direction and prioritization. Mr. Trudgeon noted staff's preference to hear the City Council's perspective on those items listed, and how they wished those items prioritized. The RCA dated April 18, 2011 provided additional detail to facilitate that discus- sion. Mr. Trudgeon noted that the first four bullet pointed items on page 2 of the report were ongoing as part of the zoning code rewrite, but had been deferred for various reasons, and were slated to be discussed at the Planning Commission at their May meeting, prior to any Public Hearings being scheduled. Specific to the Shoreland, Wetland and Stormwater Management Chapter 1017, Mr. Trudgeon noted that revisions were awaiting receipt of a model ordinance from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) that was in process; with the last update done in the 1970's; with the intent to relocate Stormwater Manage- ment Chapters to the Public Works domain (City Code, Chapter 8) rather than in- cluding them in the City's Zoning Code for coordination of those regulations among departments. Mr. Trudgeon advised that the intended review of Sexually Oriented Uses (Chap- ter 1020) was based on updating any court rulings, and in conjunction with the City's legal counsel, and to address modern society and technologies to ensure that safeguards are in place. Councilmember McGehee asked that staff also include discussion on pawn shops, using the City of Bloomington's model in limiting them based on population. Mr. Trudgeon advised that Police Chief Mathwig was already reviewing and drafting an ordinance revisions for City Council review and consideration in the near future.
