Commission tables code amendments and directs staff to rework pool/pool-house language
Summary
At the action-item vote commissioners tabled the package of development-code revisions with a specific instruction: staff should rework the pool/pool-house section (safety, definitions, setbacks) and return for further review; the motion passed unanimously.
When the commission moved from discussion to action on a package of development-code amendments, staff identified a pool/pool-house section that still needed clearer definitions and setback guidance. Caden recommended proceeding with the package except for the pool section, which staff would rework and return with clearer language.
Commissioner John McKay moved to table the proposed ordinance changes specifically as they relate to the pool-house section so staff could rework that portion and return for review. The motion was seconded and, after brief discussion, was approved unanimously.
The commission asked staff to clarify definitions distinguishing small equipment enclosures (which could follow accessory-structure setbacks) from full 'pool houses' that include baths/showers and require larger setbacks, and to address safety and noise concerns associated with pumps and mechanical equipment.
Next steps: staff will revise pool-related definitions and setback language, consider a definition to distinguish small pool-equipment shacks from larger pool houses with plumbing, and return the revised code for commission consideration.
