HB 1041 - MATTERS OF STATE INTEREST cont'd duplication of material. Mr. Drumm prefaced the reading of the article by stating that there are other changes in subdivision regu- lations which refer to HB 1041. He stated that article 13 is the major chapter that affects all areas of state interest in general and geologic hazard areas specifieally. Mr. Drumm read article #13 of the zoning ordinance (See attached Resolution #7 & article #13 of zoning ordinance) Mr. Hobbs stated that in section 13-102 E., the City is grandfathering the existing zoning on some of the land. He stated that if this clause is kept in and if the City authorizes the commercial zoning of an area and then finds it a flood hazard the City might find a situation where a building permit will have to be approved for that area. He stated that the City does not have to grandfather existing zonings. He suggested that this portion of the article be reviewed. Mr. Wurl stated that in regards to the grand father clause; he did not know of any area that would be affected in the manner stated by Mr. Hobbs. Mr. Wurl stated tha everything in the City now has been zoned for a sub- stantial amount of time as it is and he could not forsee any problem. Mr. Hobbs also stated that under section 13-103 Administration - K 1. Where it allows the party involved to show that it is not a hazard area; he would like to have the City to provide notice to the CGS and LUC when contemplating a development. He stated that he would like to have the state agency be consulted on the matter. Mr. Shelton stated that in Section 13-105 Designated Geologic Hazard Area D 3 where it states "Such maps shall also show the topo- graphy with a contour interval of 10 feet or smaller. II He suggested that 10 feet is really too large to determine what shape the ground is and the development effects. He suggested that 5 feet at the maximum would be substantial for the City. Mr. Drumm stated that on the topography, it could be changed to read 2 feet as in the rest of the zoning ordinance. Mr. Shelton also stated that on the time of reviewing developments; that a statement be put in giving the state an amount of time to consider the recommendations and give comments. 7.
