Department: Planning, Attachments: Resolution No. 4357 Budget Impact: N/A
Building, and Community
Administrative Recommendation:
City Council adopt Resolution No. 4357.
Background Summary:
Over the last year Conditional Use Permit applications have increased and there currently exists some
questions about how to apply conditional use permits in the R-2 Single-Family Residential District, the R-
3 Two-Family (Duplex) Residential District and the C-1 Light Commercial District.
In order to for the City Council to evaluate what changes may be appropriate for conditional use permits
for the above mentioned zoning districts, it would be appropriate for a moratorium to be imposed for an
initial six months subject to the requirements for a subsequent public hearing, pursuant to statute, so that
the City Council has an opportunity to evaluate the direction that should be pursued in connection with
cups.
As mentioned, a public hearing is required within 60 days of the adoption of this resolution to evaluate the
moratorium and the entry of appropriate findings of fact pursuant to RCW 35A.63.220. The proposed
date of the public hearing is July 7, 2008 at the regular council meeting beginning at 7:30 p.m. or as soon
thereafter.
