The public hearing opened at 6:54 p.m. Richard Lindbo – 1201 Fruitland – Mr. Lindbo explained that he owns the Lindbo blueberry farm, and explained that the land is wetlands and perfect for growing blueberries, and that the agriculture overlay would be a good fit. Mr. Lindbo stated that he would like to keep the land safe for just the purpose of the blueberry farm, which his son will inherit. The public hearing closed at 6:57 p.m. Planning deliberation, feedback, questions: Mr. Seeley asked for clarification on whether the allowable amount of square footage per chickens is changing, Ms. Baker stated that no, the change involves the distance allowed between chicken coops and residential structures. Mr. McGregor commented that prohibiting roosters doesn’t seem to be necessary, as there are other common noises in the city such as trains, dogs barking, etc., that could be dealt with by the Code Compliance officer. Shane Pieren, Code Compliance officer for the City, spoke to the amount of complaints that are received about roosters, and peacocks as well. Mr. Pieren stated that there are quite a few cities that ban roosters outright. Mr. Larson asked if it is a simple process to have the Agriculture Overlay added to a property, Ms. Baker stated that you can ask for it to be added if your property is at minimum 2 acres, but that someone could request a zoning map amendment request that would be decided before a hearing examiner. Ms. Baker explained that the Planning Commission could also reduce or eliminate the size threshold to provide some protection for properties that could potentially be annexed but not meet the current size threshold for the Agriculture Overlay. Mr. Mc Gregor asked if an analysis could be done on the properties in the Urban Growth Area that could be potentially annexed. Ms. Baker responded that staff could work on that analysis and bring that back to the next Planning Commission meeting. There was general discussion around the Agriculture Overlay and whether it allows roosters, Ms. Baker commented that the Commissioners could prohibit roosters within the Agriculture Overlay. Ms. Baker explained that roosters could also be allowed, and performance standards could be established, which would be enforced by the Code Compliance Officer. Mr. Seeley asked how the WSU Extension Center is protected for the research projects that they do, Ms. Baker explained that they are zoned Public Facilities (PF), and that the PF zone allows them some latitude to do projects which are within the nature of their business. WORKSESSION TOPICS Map Clean-up Project (Recording start time 55:07) Ms. Wals explained that this project came out of the implementation of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan update, where staff identified a few properties that could use map cleanup for various reasons. Ms. Wals explained that outreach has done with properties owners, along with some internal discussion trying to determine what they would recommend for the changes. Ms. Wals gave a presentation to show the Commissioners the potential cleanups which all involve city properties.

Mr. Seeley asked whether Map 1 – 5th Ave CT SW, if the area could be subdivided if the zoning designation went from RS-35 to RS-10, Ms. Wals explained that the area is sloped and already well established, and those are a few attributes which would keep it from being subdivided. There was discussion regarding whether an access that runs through a parcel with a different zoning designation, should be given the same designation. Ms. Wals stated that staff would keep moving forward with the map cleanups and would be seeing them again at a future meeting. OTHER COMMISSION BUSINESS Ms. Baker let the Commissioners know that at the September 19th City Council study session, staff will be touching on a few land use and development related issues with the Council. Ms. Baker explained that there might be some changes to Planning Commission Calendar in September, and that she would keep them posted.

Mike Bach – 1325 23rd Ave SW – Mr. Bach voiced his concerns regarding the width of the road, stating that it is barely wide enough for two cars to travel in the opposite directions to get past one another. Mr. Bach also stated that he thinks it is wrong that he shares a water meter with his neighbor. Bob Rowan – 1606 23rd Ave SW – Mr. Rowan stated that there isn’t appropriate storm drainage, and that the roads are not wide enough to accommodate regular traffic, especially school buses. Robert Gould – 1514 23rd Ave SW – Mr. Gould stated his concerns over the same issues on 23rd Ave SW, the width of the road, no storm drains, hard for regular traffic to drive on, parking in the right-of-way, making it impossible for other traffic to get through. Jim Scott – 2026 14th Ave SW – Mr. Scott voiced his concerns regarding the zoning designation change to Open Space at Dead Man’s Pond, he is worried that access would be allowed to the public, endangering the riparian areas and wildlife that exist there.

The public hearing closed at 7:13 p.m. Ms. Baker informed the citizens who commented during the hearing regarding traffic, streets, storm drainage, and utility concerns, that these issues can’t be addressed by the Planning Commission. Ms. Baker stated that they can leave their contact information with staff, who will then follow up with the appropriate city department. Ms. Wals addressed Mr. Keller’s comment by explaining the Open Space/Public Park and Public Facilities land use designations and the differences between them. Ms. Wals explained that they both apply to publicly-owned property, but OS/PP is intended to apply to parks and open space while PF is intended to apply to facilities and structures. Ms. Wals encouraged commenters to leave their contact information, which would be passed on to the Parks & Recreation Department. Planning Commission Deliberation/Comments: •
•
Mr. Larson inquired about the plans for the property that the City acquired on Deadman’s Pond, Ms. Wals explained that the City’s intent is to remove the existing structures on the property, and to replant the property and keep it as open space to protect Dead Man’s Pond. Mr. Larson asked what process would take place if the City decided to build on a property that was previously kept as open space; Ms. Wals explained that it would most likely go through the Comprehensive Plan process for change of use, and that any change would go through a public process. Mr. Seeley asked if there had been communication with the property owners across from Good Samaritan. Ms. Wals explained that she did speak with the owners and that they expressed concerns regarding continuation of their existing single-family residential use. Page 2 of 4

Ms. Wals explained that either way the single-family use can remain, and that other than that issue the owners didn’t state a preference in the proposed zoning designation. Mr. Juntunen stated concerns regarding the properties that are to be designated as Open Space, inquiring as to whether that designation would decrease the value of the residential properties nearby, and what the review and public outreach process would be under the proposed zoning designation. Ms. Wals explained that the use of each individual property is project-based, and that the Parks department would conduct outreach for any proposed plans that are outside what is already included in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Yanasak inquired as to whether the public would be allowed on the Dead Man’s Pond property once it is replanted, Ms. Wals responded that during the replanting phase, there are ways to mark the property so that the public understands that it is not intended for recreational use. Mr. McGregor also stated concerns regarding plans for open space properties and how they affect residential properties in the area. Mr. Seeley commented on the reference to the “Planning Commission Preferred Future Land Use” map related to Agriculture Uses in the Land Use element, stating that it is outdated since there have been rezones in that area. Ms. Baker stated that staff can modify the language or add language speaking to the changes that have taken place in the Shaw Pioneer neighborhood specifically. Ms. Baker stated that the Commission can make that recommendation or that staff can come back at a future meeting with the modified language. Mr. McGregor commented that he thought it was fine for staff to add the language with a recommendation by the Commission, rather than coming back at another meeting.
Mr. Seeley made a motion to approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendments as proposed, with a recommendation to modify the language in the Land Use Element under Agricultural Lands on Page 3.11 referencing the “Planning Commission Preferred Future Land Use” map to include language identifying the changes that have taken place since it was adopted. Mr. Larson seconded the motion. The Planning Commission voted, and the motion passed 7-0. Planning Commission took a short 2-3-minute break to take contact information from the citizens who commented during the public hearing. AGENDA ITEMS Zoning Overlays (Recording start time 1:19:16) Ms. Baker explained that the Planning Commission will be deliberating on this topic on which a public hearing was held on August 23, 2017. Ms. Baker explained that the Commission had asked for additional information before deliberating and voting on this item. Ms. Baker addressed a query from Mr. Seeley concerning parcels in the Urban Growth Area (UGA) that meet the Agriculture Use, but possibly not the size minimum requirement of two acres in order to be covered by the Agriculture Overlay. Ms. Baker stated that she had done an analysis of the parcels in the UGA, and that she found that the majority of the parcels smaller than two acres were adjacent to each other and commonly owned, therefore they would be able to meet the size threshold as a site. Ms. Baker reviewed three possible options for the application of the Agriculture Overlay. Commissioners McGregor, Larson, and Seeley commented that they were in favor of Option 1 to reduce the required site size threshold.
Page 3 of 4
Mr. Seeley made a motion to approve Option 1 for the application of the Agriculture Overlay, with a second by Mr. Juntunen. The motion passed 5-0. Mr. Larson made a motion to approve the proposed changes from the previously held public hearing related to code amendments pertaining to the agriculture overlay and the related urban agriculture code amendments in the single family, multi-family, and manufacturing code sections; in the definitions code section; the home occupation code section; and animal code section in Title 8. Amendments also include the removal of the floodplain overlay from Title 20 and the zoning map, and changes to the zoning map to correct the name of the River Road Design Review Overlay (DRO) to be called the Mixed Use DRO. Mr. Juntunen seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0. OTHER COMMISSION BUSINESS None. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 8:06 p.m.
