.. I <br /> • <br /> Section 17.21.040 shall apply to applications <br /> under this chapter, except for those requirements <br /> apecificslly waived in tbo planned wait develop- <br /> ment plan approved hereunder." Monever, the <br /> operating sections of the Ordinance only allow a <br /> waiver of lot sine. It is clear that the intent <br /> of the Ordinance was Vermeil waivers of all <br /> requirements of yard and bulk. <br /> 4 Wanush stated that frost and side yard setbacks <br /> have been dealt with through the POD, yet when you <br /> search for authority to actually grant that, staff <br /> could not find it, the intent was that the front <br /> and side yard setbacks could be waived by Council <br /> if innovative proposals were approved. <br /> Szymanski voiced concern over the need for this <br /> when standards have been set and should be <br /> maintained in the City's Boning laws. •*y <br /> changing this portion (of the Ordinance), I think <br /> all weave going to do is sake it easier to have <br /> smaller lots yet. There has to some flexibility <br /> under certain conditions. I think the lot size is <br /> all the flexibility that we need on this matter." <br /> Ilanush explained that this refers to the height <br /> and bulk and side yard limitations and waiving <br /> these requirements is being dote now. <br /> $symanski stated that a big concern of this <br /> Council has been densities. °what sense is there <br /> to our soning if we don't adhere to it? I see <br /> this as taking away from that notating law all the <br /> mare.' <br /> Mohr identified for example the smaller lots in <br /> parts of the McStain development wherein a lot of <br /> common and open space exists with trails and bike <br /> paths that rent into the formula before <br /> determining lot sixes. <br /> Wanush explained that subdivision requirements are <br /> vary clear. Yet in the POD process, the City can <br /> demand a higher level of quality than may be <br /> required through the normal subdivision process. <br /> You must meet the underlying zoning requirements <br /> through the subdivision process. The POD process <br /> allows variations by Council approval if an <br /> adequate trade-oft is proposed. Wanush feels that <br /> setbacks do not particularly affect density. <br /> Szymanski feels that this is taking away some <br /> minimum standard and there should be some design <br /> guidelines and minimum standards. Se opposes the <br /> change. <br /> 4 <br />
