Council reviews proposed stream buffer zoning and electrical code changes tied to solar rules
Summary
City staff presented a draft new stream buffer chapter and recommended electrical code amendments to align with proposed solar regulations; both items were introduced for discussion after Plan Commission review.
City staff presented two zoning and code items for council discussion on Feb. 17. Land Use & Planning Coordinator John Brancaglione described a proposed new Chapter 17.64 to establish stream buffer protections for "blue line" streams and tributaries as recognized by the U.S. Geological Survey. The measure is intended to regulate development intrusions along stream banks.
Director of Public Works Mike Sander said staff also identified needed amendments to Chapter 54.32 of the Electrical Code to align with the solar regulations in Chapter 17.42.070 and to reflect Ameren's requirements for solar installations. Both items were discussed at the staff level and had been the subject of Plan Commission review; no final council vote was recorded that evening.
