Planning commission forwards FLUM corrections and ordinance amendments to City Council; several items approved
Summary
The Newcastle Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend multiple items to City Council, including two 2040 future land use map corrections, a tree-ordinance amendment, and a new drainage ordinance; one subdivision (Riverview Villages) was continued.
The Newcastle Planning Commission approved a package of planning items and forwarded its recommendations to City Council. The commission voted unanimously to recommend changes to the 2040 future land use map for two properties on Southwest 16th Street, a revision to the tree ordinance, and a new drainage ordinance; it continued Riverview Villages to a later date.
Staff described the City Council amendment to a final plat/site plan to remove cross access on the frontage between Lots 2 and 3. A 2040 future land use map correction was approved to change the designation for 3115 Southwest 16th Street from “suburban residential” to “general commercial.” A second similar correction changed the designation for 3120 Southwest 16th Street from “suburban residential” to “general commercial.”
The commission also voted to approve an amendment to the city’s tree ordinance to allow one tree for every new single-family lot in specified RF zones (RF-1, RF-1E, RF-2 were referenced). The commission approved an amendment to Chapter 153 that establishes a new drainage ordinance: property owners who opt out of the city’s open-channel drainage must submit engineering plans and a hydrologic study prepared by an engineer to demonstrate compliance.
Riverview Villages was continued by the Planning Commission. Staff noted that two items had been continued earlier in the meeting. The commission approved the recommended items for City Council and closed the item; the transcript records unanimous approval but does not list individual roll-call votes or motion makers.
