HomeMy WebLinkAboutCriteria AnalysisFindings/staff position: I believe that the scope meets all exemption criteria and that staff can support
the request. Please let me know if the case warrants a full staff discussion or if I should start drafting the
NOA.
Scope: addition of irrigation system, at-grade patio, and fence. This was referred to engineering and
parks; they had no comments.
(b) Exemptions. The Community Development Director may exempt the following types of development
within the stream margin review area:
(1) Construction of pedestrian or automobile bridges, public trails or structures for irrigation,
drainage, flood control or water diversion, bank stabilization, provided plans and specifications
are submitted to the City engineer demonstrating that the structure is engineered to prevent
blockage of drainage channels during peak flows and the Community Development Director
determines the proposed structure complies, to the extent practical, with the stream margin
review standards.
Not applicable.
(2) Construction of improvements essential for public health and safety which cannot be reasonably
accommodated outside of the "no development area" prescribed by this Section including, but
not limited to, potable water systems, sanitary sewer, utilities and fire suppression systems
provided the Community Development Director determines the development complies, to the
extent practical, with the stream margin review standards.
Not applicable.
(3) The expansion, remodeling or reconstruction of an existing development provided the
following standards are met:
a. The development does not add more than ten percent (10%) to the floor area of the
existing structure or increase the amount of building area exempt from floor area
calculations by more than twenty-five percent (25%). All stream margin exemptions are
cumulative. Once a development reaches these totals, a stream margin review by the
Planning and Zoning Commission is required; and
The development does not add any floor area or building area to the parcel.
b. The development does not require the removal of any tree for which a permit would
be required pursuant to Chapter 13.20 of this Code.
Criteria met per Parks Department referral.
c. The development is located such that no portion of the expansion, remodeling or
reconstruction will be any closer to the high water line than is the existing development;
Criteria met per Engineering Department referral.
d. The development does not fall outside of an approved building envelope if one has
been designated through a prior review; and
Not applicable.
e. The expansion, remodeling or reconstruction will cause no increase to the amount of
ground coverage of structures within the 100-year flood plan.
Criteria met per Engineering Department referral.
