Electric City Planning Commission Schedules January 6, 2015

Public Workshop and January 22, 2015 Public Hearing on

Amendments to the City’s Zoning Code

The City of Electric City Planning Commission is holding a Public Workshop on draft amendments to Title 18 Zoning, including amendments pertaining to accessory structures, fences and home occupations on Tuesday, January 6, 2015, at 3:00 pm in City Hall located at 10 Western Ave. Electric City WA. City Hall is handicapped accessible. The Commission has also scheduled a Public Hearing on the proposed amendments at 7:00 pm on Thursday, January 22, 2015 at City Hall. The purpose of the January 6th workshop is to review and discuss the proposed amendments, while the hearing is part of the required process for amending the City Code. As a community required to plan under the Growth Management Act, the city is limited to amending the comprehensive plan and development regulations once a year.

Amendments to the accessory structure regulations have been under review and discussion for nearly 1 1/2 years and include changes to increase the allowable size and height of said structures within the residential zoning districts. Amendments to the fencing regulations are intended to clarify fence height and locations. Finally proposed amendments related to home occupations are intended to eliminate the requirement for a Conditional Use Permit for a list specific home occupations that will be permitted outright.

The amendments to Title 18 of the municipal code have been initiated by the City Council in response to citizen requests or by Staff as a result of issues arising from implementation of the code. The Planning Commission has discussed the amendments, particularly those related to accessory structures, at numerous public meetings, including one public workshop, over the past year and directed the staff to create draft amendments for review and consideration for a recommendation by the Commission to the City Council for action. Copies of the draft amendments will be available at City Hall on December 17, 2014.

Kurt Danison of Highlands Associates, the City’s new contract planner, will provide a brief report at the beginning of the January 6th workshop to provide background information; status of the amendments; and summarize key issues. Following the brief presentation will be a facilitated discussion driven by questions from the Commission, staff and public with the desire to direct staff to complete any modifications to the draft amendments prior to the January 22nd Public Hearing.

The City wants the Zoning Code to accurately reflect the needs and desires of the community. As your local planning body, Planning Commission members rely on residents, business owners and citizens to provide input as part of the process. If you would like to discuss the updates and amendments, contact Deputy Clerk Russ Powers at 633-1510 or Kurt Danison, Highlands Associates at 322-4037.
