Planning staff described the developer’s proposal and history; staff said the developer had previously consulted with the commission and was now presenting names for approval.

Commissioners discussed the options. One commissioner expressed a preference for Verde Way; the motion presented and seconded named Blue Pond Road, Byrdie (alternative spelling offered as \"Byrdie\" spelled B-Y-R-D-I-E) Way, and Magustin Road. The motion to approve the three names passed by voice vote. There was no recorded roll-call tally in the transcript.

The commission's staff began the item by summarizing the changes: “the first item on the agenda is the zoning text amendment, which is to amend title 15, the land usage section chapter, specifically chapter 151 on zoning, sections 1 through 9,” staff said. The revisions follow a year of work after the city adopted a new zoning ordinance and reflect periodic updates requested by staff and council workshops.

Why it matters: The package changes several residential provisions and clarifies development review. The commission debated rules for accessory dwelling units (ADUs), the role of traffic studies in planned development (PD) agreements, secondary-access expectations for subdivisions, and electric vehicle charging language.

Key decisions and process: Commissioners debated an owner-occupancy requirement for ADUs. Under the adopted language, either the principal dwelling or the ADU must be the owner’s full-time residence at the time a building permit is issued; if ownership changes later, continued use as two separate rental units would be reviewed under the city code when licenses or permits are sought. Staff clarified enforcement would typically arise through business-license review rather than proactive property policing: “We would review that at the time that the permit comes in, and that would be the standard of our review,” staff said.

Commissioners raised concerns about flexibility for owners who later sell or whose household circumstances change. One commissioner said the owner-occupancy rule was intended to encourage homeowner investment and limit proliferation of rental units; other commissioners called it overly restrictive and asked that the planning staff note it as a point for council consideration.

Traffic-study language: Commissioners also debated a sentence in the PD provisions that read a separate traffic study \"may be required\" under some circumstances even though a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) appears elsewhere in the ordinance as a required element. A commissioner moved to strike the optional-traffic-study language; the amendment was seconded and approved by voice vote. The commission then returned to and approved the overall zoning-text amendment package by voice vote.

Other discussion items: Commissioners suggested adding guidance encouraging stub-outs or other roadway interconnectivity where appropriate for subdivisions below the 50-lot threshold specified for required secondary access, and asked staff to consider stronger language that preserves staff discretion. The commission also asked that electric-vehicle charger requirements be clarified in later land-development regulation updates rather than in the zoning text.

Next steps: The commission approved the amendment package and will forward its recommendation consistent with the city’s review process.","The Planning Commission approved amendments to Title 15, Chapter 151 (zoning sections 1–9), voting to remove language that allowed a separate \"traffic study may be required\" provision in PD agreements and adopting new accessory dwelling unit (ADU) rules that require owner-occupancy at the time a permit is issued.","actionData","errors"]
