City Council Meeting Minutes July 23, 2019 Page 10 of 14 MOTION: Mayor Muckle moved to approve Ordinance No. 1777, Series 2019 with an amendment to Section 5.11.030 to add a 1250 foot buffer to residentially zoned districts. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton seconded and offered a friendly amendment to include an additional item to Section 6 that says applicants will be subject to applicable SRU requirements. Mayor Muckle accepted the friendly amendment. Mayor Muckle asked if the buffer should be in the ballot title. Attorney Kelly noted there were no references in the ballot title as to the specifics so it did not need to be added there. Councilmember Stolzmann thought the buffer reference should be in the zoning section of the code. She suggested Section 17.16.237. Staff agreed. Mayor Muckle accepted as a friendly amendment. Councilmember Loo felt with the setbacks and an SRU it becomes very complex. Councilmember Stolzmann felt it was good to go to voters with this question.

VOTE: Roll call vote — 5-2 with Mayor Muckle and Councilmember Keany voting no. Council took a short break.
