2. Small Cell Ordinance Update
Community Development Director Bond explained the background efforts on refining the Small Cell
Ordinance for a franchise agreement versus a permit process, with researching what other various
jurisdictions had implemented and to figure out what would be the best method for the City to move
forward.
City Attorney Cates explained that the franchise agreement ordinance process would allow the City
to be more flexible with addressing future technology changes. Staff will continue to work with the
industry to make sure whichever process is determined still fits the plan.
Councilmembers, mayor and staff asked how other jurisdictions are processing small cells, the
process for future removal, and handling expired permits.
Council Direction: Staff is to move forward with permit process and present the Small Cells
Ordinance to council at a future meeting for consideration.
3. Zoning Code Updates
Department of Community Development Director Bond explained this item is being presented as a
"check-in" with Council regarding the Zoning Code Updates, as created by the Planning Commission
and Department of Community Development. He urged the Council to review the materials
presented and provide any feedback/comments to staff. Positive responses from members of the
development community, not much public testimony. Next steps to move forward; bring to Planning
Commission to review changes, public hearing at November 5th Planning Commission meeting, and
bringing to the Work Study in November, and adopt at the end of November or beginning of
December.
Councilmembers discussed revisions and suggestions to the updates provided.
Department of Community Development Director Bond explained a few of the changes are to focus
on sites suitable for big box retail, reshaping the corridors, and transfer of development rights. Many
of the updates are mirroring the County's Zoning Code.
Council Direction: Staff was directed to make suggested revisions, then proceed with the work plan
and timeline established in the approved public participation program.
