Staff member says board’s vote would be a recommendation to city commission and requests updated Environmental Assessment
Summary
Staff told the board that any approval would be a recommendation to the city commission and said an updated Environmental Assessment should be completed within a year as a condition for moving the project forward.
A staff speaker told the board that the body’s action on the project would be a recommendation, not the final decision, and that the city commission would make the ultimate determination. "If this board chooses to move this project forward, this vote today is a recommendation to city commission," the staff member said, adding that the commission could accept or reject the recommendation after hearing public testimony and applicant responses.
The staff member said they would be comfortable forwarding the project provided the developer is placed on notice and an updated Environmental Assessment (EA) is completed within a year. "Within a year I want to see an updated EA," the staff member said, explaining that updated field conditions and any changes to wetlands or lakes would be captured in the EA and inform mitigation decisions.
