She reminded the Council that while they normally operate in a legislative capacity, during this Public Hearing the Council is acting as a quasi-judicial body. City Attorney Cates asked if any Councilmember had any ex parte communication with anyone regarding this application. There was a unanimous response of no from the Council.

Staff report: Development Director Bond presented the staff report, noting the City has received a request for multiple View Protection Overlay District (VPOD) exemptions from Paul Berg for 803, 809, 815, and 821 Kinsley Lane. Exemptions are authorized under POMC 16.20.712 upon findings and conclusions by the City Council that demonstrates the proposal meets the criteria for granting. The resolution which has been prepared in conjunction with this staff report includes suggested findings based on site visits by city staff and a review of the application and supporting materials. A Public Hearing notice for the proposal was published, mailed to all residents within 300 feet of the subject properties, and posted at the site indicating that a public hearing would be conducted on February 23, 2016. Mayor Putaansuu opened the public hearing, and there being no testimony, closed the Public Hearing at 7:18pm.

Adoption of an Ordinance Amending POMC 10.12 Parking Passes Minutes of February 23, 2016 Page 4 of 11 Staff Report: City Clerk Rinearson presented the staff report, noting during the review of POMC 10.14 Residential Parking Permit System, it was discovered that the County had been issued permits in error. The permits being issued were not within the provisions of the code, as they were not a resident or a guest of a resident. At the January 19, 2016, Work Study Session staff was directed to update the City's code to allow permits to be issued to County board volunteers and Councilmembers when visiting the Kitsap County Courthouse, Administrative Building, or City Hall when conducting County or City business that is expected to last longer than the posted time limitation on the City streets. MOTION: By Councilmember Ashby, seconded by Councilmember Donlin, to adopt an ordinance amending the Special Passes provisions of Chapter 10.12 ("Parking, Standing, and Stopping") of POMC Section 140 Special Passes. Councilmember Clauson said the term motorists can refer to anyone visiting City Hall or the County courthouse. Mayor Putaansuu noted that what was originally drafted was very specific, and it was the recommendation of legal counsel to change the verbiage. City Attorney Cates stated the original draft of the ordinance was too limited, and needed to be equally applied. It seems as if most people visiting City Hall can be in and out within the time limits of parking. MOTION: By Councilmember Cucciardi, seconded by Councilmember Diener, to send this back to our Land Use Committee and work through our attorney to re-write this and address some of the concerns shared tonight. Mayor Putaansuu noted his concerns with sending this to the committee, as the County has been without permits for the last 2 months. He would like to bring this back in two weeks. In response to Mayor Putaansuu, City Attorney Cates said she is comfortable redrafting this without sending it back to a committee. The amended motion failed unanimously. Minutes of February 23, 2016 Page 5 of 11 MOTION: By Councilmember Clauson, seconded by Councilmember Donlin to direct staff to take the comments that were made here this evening and modify this and bring it back to our next Council meeting. The amended motion carried. B. Adoption of an Ordinance Establishing Updated Interim Subdivision Regulations Staff Report: Community Development Director Bond presented the staff report, noting on September 8, 2015, the City Council passed Ordinance No. 015-15, which repealed the then existing subdivision regulations under Chapter 16.72 of the POMC and established an interim subdivision code, codified under a newly established Title 26 of the POMC, for a period of six months. That ordinance is ·set to expire at the beginning of March 2016. During the past six months, City staff has prepared a draft permanent subdivision code. However, City staff requires additional time to allow for the public, the City's Planning Commission, and the City Council to review and comment on the proposed permanent subdivision regulations and to officially adopt the permanent regulations once finalized. Additionally, in administering the interim subdivision code over the past six months, City staff has identified necessary amendments to the interim regulations to help clarify and assist City staff in interpreting and administering the interim subdivision regulations (most notably, the inclusion of a new chapter governing large lot subdivisions). The updated interim subdivision code is included as Exhibit 1 to the proposed ordinance before the Council for approval tonight, with the updated revisions indicated in underline and strike-through.RCW 36.70A.390 provides that the City Council may adopt interim land use controls and ordinances for a period of up to twelve (12) months provided that a public hearing is held within at least sixty (60) days of its adoption and that City staff establish a work plan for the adoption of permanent regulations.

Adoption of an Ordinance Establishing Updated Interim Permit Processing Regulations Staff Report: Community Development Director Bond presented the staff report, noting on September 8, 2015, the City Council passed Ordinance No. 014-15, which repealed the then existing project permit processing regulations under Chapters 16.06 and 16.07 of the POMC and established interim project permit processing regulations, codified under a newly established Title 23 of the POMC, for a period of six months. That ordinance is set to expire at the beginning of March 2016. During the past six months, City staff has prepared draft permanent permit processing regulations.

Councilmember Donlin said this will displace the parking permit holders in the parking lots, and asks if there are any provisions being made?
