Discussion and Update on Fireworks Ordinance by Joe Silva: Silva: Thank you Mr. President Gorton, Members of the Council. Sometime ago you directed us to do a revision of the proposed Fireworks Ordinance - we have been working with other Treasure Valley Fire Departments to gain some consistency in terms of the requirements for fireworks stands and also working to work on -get working on the county's version of a proposed fireworks ordinance. So, with that we will just kind of go over the highlights and then open it up for questions this evening. So, we started out with some definitions. These will be some things that are commonly available through Wal-Mart or Fred Meyers. Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting January 16, 2007 Page 2 of 15 These things are not regulated now proposed revision. • They won't be regulated under the Nary: Mr. Silva just in case the Council wants; I have hard copies if you want. I know you have them on your Laser Fiche, but if you want that I have those available too. Zaremba: I think we already had a hard copy. Is this revised or --? Nary: Yeah, this has been revised. So, I will hand these out. Silva: The copy that Mr. Nary is making available to you is the one that came out of legal and we will start out with a couple of definitions. Non-aerial common fireworks do not travel outside a 15 foot diameter circle or admit sparks outside a 20 foot diameter circle or shoot above a height of 20 feet. Dangerous fireworks are everything outside of that. So, dangerous fireworks do potentially travel outside a 15 foot diameter circle or do admit sparks outside of a 20 foot diameter or shoot above a height of 20 feet; commonly those are bottle rockets, firecrackers those sort of things. Obviously, the problem has evolved as a result of some flaws in the existing state law that allows the Idaho residents to purchase dangerous fireworks and those are the types of things that we are trying to address. After the Fourth of July and prior to that we are flooded with complaints about the use and discharge of fireworks in neighborhoods. One common thing that we have is that fireworks when they are carelessly used or illegal fireworks utilized they can put other people's property at risk. They are a class "c" explosive. So, what we have proposed is to limit the availability of dangerous aerial fireworks, ensure that non-aerial common fireworks are purchased and used under the supervision or of a parent or guardian - we made some provisions here where the person has to be at least 16 years of age or be accompanied by a parent or guardian to purchase fireworks. Also, they have to be age 16 to work within a fireworks stand. We will continue to enforce the requirement that fireworks offer for retail sales should not be readily available or accessible to the public until the sales have been consummated in terms that the fireworks have been bagged up and that they have been paid for and then the consumer can walk away from the stand at that point. We just don't want to allow direct access because a carelessly discarded cigarette can ignite a fire in a fireworks stand. One of the things that drove this revision was we were having some conditional use permits that were being proposed of up to 2,800 square feet in the case of a tent. So, the fire code can-ently only requires or limits a size of tent to 200 square feet for a tent; 400 square feet for a canopy, which has no sides on it or has at least 75 percent of a perimeter walls open. The ordinance would prohibit the sales, storage, possession and use of dangerous fireworks in the City of Merudian and we would not allow short term sales of non-aerial common fireworks to be conducted from a permanent structure. We had one vendor who desired to actually go into some open vacant space and utilize that space to sell fireworks. It was a sprinkler building, but it was not designed nor Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting January 16, 2007 Page 3 of 15 intended for the storage of fireworks and as I mentioned earlier you would have to be age 16 to purchase fireworks unless you were accompanied by an adult and again they have to be accompanied by a parent or guardian when they are purchasing if they are under the age of 16. We are trying to require the parents to be more responsible for their children and we have had a lot of kids who - small kids because there has been no age restriction previously who will utilize their allowance to just simply come up on their own and buy fireworks and parents don't even know that that purchase has been made. We are putting this ordinance in front of you. The other consideration that we are working on is another ordinance that we are proposing be passed by Ada County that would basically require that all wholesale sales of dangerous fireworks be conducted only from a permanent building, meeting land use requirements and having a conditional use permit and comply with the currently adopted versions of the buildings and fire codes. So, with that I will stand for any questions. Borton: Thank you Joe. Council any questions? Rountree: Mr. President. Borton: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: Right off the bat you talk about some definitions here on non-aerial common fireworks and you have some circles or heights identified. Are those numbers founded in some kind of an industry standard or in the standards or marketing of fireworks industry or how are they derived? I assume it is not arbitrary. Silva: President Borton, Councilman Rountree those are the definitions that are commonly found on in the state statute and that is where we derived those. Zaremba: This is kind of a sideways question. In the previous draft in the section referring to temporary stands and tents, which in this draft is Section 5-4- 13, there was a comment that the parking areas have to be either of a vegetative material or somehow non dust in compliance with the city's parking ordinance and I am not finding that here. Did that provision get lost? It is a city ordinance, but I think it would be useful to repeat it here for all temporary stands that they have to have dust abatement either by a vegetative cover or by a heavy cover and it was in the previous draft, but either I am missing it or I am not finding it here. The second part of that is whether we should actually state it here or just reference the parking ordinance where the rule exists and maybe that is a question for Mr. Nary. The statement in the previous draft complied with what I recalled the parking order it said about temporary stands. Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council and Councilman Zaremba I think that is a good idea. It makes more sense that if we are going to establish the standards to not then reference somebody to another section of the code. So, if Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting January 16, 2007 Page 4 of 15 we are going to do that it probably is cleaner as you suggest that we put that back in. One of the things that I guess for all of the Council members, one of the things that we are not done with yet and as you can see even with a hard copy draft in front of you and that Chief Silva has it is a little harder to follow when you have lots of bubbles and all of these things. We need to - Ms. Kane from my office has been going through it to try to maybe make sure that when we bring you a final version it is a little cleaner. There are a couple of things and more formatting that we want to do. So, that is something that we probably add back into those requirements in regards to the temporary stands, but we do have some references to the UDC and we want to make sure that if we are going to reference it back to the UDC that it makes sense or if it is the same reference in the UDC that it is consistent. A couple of those things will do that, but I will make a note of making sure we include that because it doesn't make sense, like I said to have some of the standards here and some of the standards in another part. So, we will make that one, but when we bring you a final one hopefully it will be cleaner and an easier version for you to as to what is intended and the format itself sort of follows a little cleaner. Zaremba: Thank you. Other than that I think it is going in the right direction. It is the right thing to do. Borton: Councilman Rountree. Rountree: Mr. President a question for Mr. Nary as it relates to of age of purchasing. It references minor purchasing -are the 16 and 17 year olds a different class of minors? Because apparently anybody 16 or older can buy - Nary: I am trying to see - Rountree: It is 5-4-20. Nary: The state code doesn't set out any specifics as to that other than the state does pass the liability for damages of juveniles onto the adults. It does allow for that, which is contained in here. That is something that is certainly a discretion on the city's part as to what age limitation to allow it. It is not preempted by the state code to prohibit it. Rountree: I just asked the question for consistency. Nary: Is it 5-4-6, is that what you said? Rountree: 5-4-20. Nary: Yeah, I don't know if that is a standard practice -Chief Silva might know that. I mean you certainly have the ability to set that age of that - it is certainly from a legal standard that the state law recognizes adult at the age of 18. So, it ~ • Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting January 16, 2007 Page 5 of 15 is simply a difference maybe based on the practicality of what has been done, but I don't know that. Chief Silva might have more. Silva: President Borton, Councilman Rountree. That had to do with the vendors. What we couldn't end up with is the purchasers being older than the people working in the stand and that was some input that we got from the vendors that it was going to be too troublesome to have -because initially we proposed age 21 for the supervisor, age 18 to work in the stand and the vendors indicated that that was going to be too burdensome. So, we went with age 16 and we made age 16 to purchase and age 16 to work in the stands. At least -one of the vendors had the stand being attended by a mother with some very small children. One of which was in a playpen and that is why we wanted to put a minimum of age to be in the non-public area of the stand. That is what drove that. Borton: Any other questions Council? Bird: I have none. Rountree: I don't have any right now. Borton: I have got one question along the same lines as Councilman Rountree's with the regards to some of the standards. One of them that sort of jumps out at me is the -some of the distances, you know when it says you can't smoke within 50 feet; you can't light anything within 300 feet and the one that sort of shocked me is that you can't operate within 100 feet of a flammable liquid dispensing device -that sounds awfully close. Is there a standard for that as well or a reason why it is not maybe a more universal distance for those types of flammable activities? Silva: President Borton that was taken out of the state law. That was our existing standard that we carried over into this draft. Certainly it could be more restricted if you wish. Those standards, those spacing requirements that you see, you know 300 feet for the fireworks discharge; 25 feet for a gas fire generator; fuel powered equipment. Those sort of things were taken out of the NFP standard that governs temporary fireworks stands sales and we took the most restrictive; either that or the state law, whichever was more restrictive to provide maximum and base it on something that was either found in a National Fire Protection Association standard or our existing state law with respect to fireworks or the fire code was the other option we took in there to govern those distances. Rountree: I guess I have one more, Joe. Borton: Yes. Rountree: The City Attorney has somewhat modernized the language in the original draft and I don't know if there has been an opportunity to vet this with the Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting • January 16, 2007 Page 6 of 15 other entities. If there has what has been their response and if not when is that going to happen in order to maintain consistency and whatnot with this ordinance? Silva: President Borton, Councilman Rountree a lot of these things are specific to our city and would not play an important part because the basic principles, the distances, the 6g0 square foot for the tent -all those essentials are the same. Given that we all conduct business just slightly differently in each city, I have not had a chance to share this with the other fire agencies, however, I did touch base with Caldwell and Nampa and they are moving forward with their adoption of basically the same ordinance and we are making a follow up presentation to Treasure Valley Partnership to inform all Mayors and Council and County Commissioners at that point. Rountree: Thank you. Borton: Any additional questions from Council? Well, thank you Joe, we appreciate the presentation and the continued updates. I take it at this point; it is under a little more refinement by legal and then come back before Council for approval. Nary: Mr. President. Borton: Mr. Nary. Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council another suggestion when we do get this in final version for you that it might be wise to have at least one public hearing on this ordinance because it does have an impact in the community and obviously to the vendors. This is one that probably would make sense to do it in that fashion and we don't do it in a lot of these, but we don't have a lot of these types, but this one certainly may have some impact that people may want to have some time to have a voice before they hear about it. Borton: That is a great idea. Item 4. Discussion of Amending Ordinance for Residential Parking by Bill Nary: Nary: Thank you Mr. President, Members of the Council I also have a hard copy of this. This should be on your Laser Fiche as well. If you want a hard copy I can certainly pass one down to you. This is an ordinance that has been discussed for a number of months with the TrafFc Safety Commission and what brought it about was that we have had some discrepancies in neighborhoods as to what ordinances applies in regards to parking -types of vehicles that can be parked there; how long can they be parked there; how it is being applied. I think Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting January 16, 2007 Page 7 of 15 our Police Department has tried to create a set of standards even though our ordinance was always very clear -tried to create a set of standards that made some sense in their applicability of the types of vehicles we see in neighborhoods and trying to make sure that our neighborhoods don't get overrun with trailers and large scale semis and flatbeds and those types of things. So, what we did at Traffic Safety was discuss how it has been applied and what makes the most sense and try to create more order in the ordinance than what we currently have today. If you notice that the ordinance talks about parking on public streets within the city because we do have to address this in lots of different areas. It does basically break them off into two different provisions. Ones that certain vehicles or trailers that are allowed to be parked in the street for no more than two hours at a time and vehicles or trailers that must be moved within 72 hours. So we tried to create a consistency there between them so that there wouldn't be any parking in the residential neighborhoods and we could delete residential neighborhoods if we want to make it on all city streets - we may have to distinguish some between industrial zones and we probably may want to exclude industrial zones, which we could do, but the two hour ones basically are large scale vehicles, basically those over the 12,000 gross vehicle weight. The trailers that are not attached to vehicles we wanted to avoid that type of extended parking once they take them off of their -whether it is a camp trailer or whether it is a trailer for hauling goods. Once they took it off the trailer we felt that they needed to move them quickly, not have them just remain on the street for an endless period of time and then farm vehicles or construction vehicles didn't need to remain on the streets for more than two hours. Again, we can adjust that by zones if you would prefer. Again, we had a discussion about residential verses public streets, so your direction on that particular area would be helpful. Those 72 hours basically are things in how they have been applied by our Police Department. If vehicles passenger cars or trucks, commercial vehicles that are below the gross vehicle weight of 12,000 pounds and that is a good break point for most of the commercial vehicles from our research and discussion. Motor homes, mobile homes, recreational vehicles could be parked again up to 72 hours on the street. When talking with our police force they found that it was not uncommon in the course of a couple of days prior to the weekend and a day or two after a weekend for somebody to park their motor home out on the street in front of their house while they are either loading it or unloading it, we felt that that three day time period was reasonable; that is how it has been applied. Obviously as long as you are not living in it, you can't live in it for three days and if the trailer is attached to the vehicle, most of the information that we had from our traffic team indicated that they do find that occasionally that people do bring a trailer that is attached. They then bring it ovemight. They leave it ovemight and they tend to move it. So, the three days that if it is attached, seemed to be appropriate for most vehicles. The intents of the exceptions was to allow for the ongoing construction project, so vehicles that are related to it - so the construction equipment that is related to a house that is under construction would allow it to remain out there verses constructions that is not related to that. So, it doesn't end up all over the neighborhood and all over the subdivisions. The • Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting January 16, 2007 Page 8 of 15 number two is already an existing exemption, allows for it again if it is operating in relation to a conditional use permit or other type of permit or industrial operation. We could make that clearer if you think it is necessary throughout the ordinance and then that has to be parked obviously near the operation that is ongoing and then lastly we felt there was a necessity that we found from our traffic team that there are some vehicles occasionally that are parked in neighborhoods, but they are for on-call emergency responses, whether it is Idaho Power, the United Water, those types of things and they may be parked in the neighborhood because the technician has to take him home because he has to go out at two in the morning to go turn the power back on. So, it didn't make sense to put a limitation on those types of vehicles if they are being used for that purpose. That is the basic tenants of it. Lt. Overton and a member of the Traffic Safety Commission as well - I don't know if he has any other information from the police side, if you have questions or anything else, but if you have some direction and if you think it is not clear, you want us to help clarify a little bit more before we bring it back to you for a review on your agenda. I can do whatever your preference is. Rountree: Mr. President. Borton: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: It seems to me that it would be of value to either consolidate in this ordinance or refer in this ordinance the traffic related parking restrictions that are in state traffic regulation, such as the direction you park. Do we have any prohibitions in the City of Meridian to park adjacent to fire hydrants? There is a state regulation that relates to blocking access. Those kinds of infractions that to my knowledge after been enforced in the City of Meridian, the question is do we want to? I suspect they are in an ordinance somewhere and if that is the case they at least ought to be under parking. Overton: President Borton, Councilman Rountree I didn't bring that particular ordinance that he read tonight. That is only one section out of our parking. We have a substantial amount of parking ordinances that we write that are separate from this one. Rountree: Okay, that answers my question; other than are they all current and enforceable? Overton: Councilman Rountree, currently they are. We - my hat is off to my city attorney. We are constantly going through those and upgrading those and making sure that the language is enforceable in trying to clear them up. Especially in the case we are in right now where we end up with a code that is hard to enforce just because of the way it was written 10, 15 or 20 years ago. Rountree: Thank you. Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting January 16, 2007 Page 9 of 15 Nary: Mr. President, just to maybe help add on to that. I mean, our initial parking code 7-2-1 has a lot of those references Councilman Rountree is talking about. Parking (inaudible) crosswalk, next to an intersection, by a fire hydrant, those types of things. So, there is already those provisions as well. We can certainly if you think it might be clearer in the beginning of this ordinance, in addition to other parking regulations found in this code, these additional ones apply or some to that affect. So, it is clear that there are other ones, so if someone were to look at one section they wouldn't just assume this was the end all of all sections. But, we can certainly do that. Rountree: To the novice attorney that might be helpful. Borton: Mr. Zaremba. Zaremba: Yes, I have actually two things. One to chime in with Councilman Rountree that the one piece that seems to be left out of lists that Mr. Nary mentioned is parking in front of mailboxes. That actually is not allowed. I think it is a federal law that nobody seems to be aware of. You are not allowed to block a mailbox. Maybe just look and see if it is there in the rest of the ordinance. Nary: I can actually add to that. Mr. President, Members of Council, Councilmember Zaremba we have had that discussion at the last Traffic Safety discussion. One of the concerns from the Traffic Safety team is the enforcement end. If you want to park in front of your mailbox and you don't get your mail that day because you chose to park in front of your mailbox then shame on you. But, you don't necessarily deserve a ticket for that. So, what we discussed was creating an ordinance that I haven't had time to craft that and creating an ordinance that would make that a nuisance type of offense. So, if someone else parks in front of your mailbox so that you can't get your mail then you have a means to regress, to deal with that verses currently where we don't have that kind of prohibition, but it would have to be initiated by the property owner and from an enforcement end, I think it makes more sense for us because again if you choose to allow your friend, your wife or family member park there that is no different than parking in front of a driveway. It is normally prohibited, but if you park in front of your own driveway, you are not going to expect to get a parking ticket for that, but if you initiate that with police because someone else chose to block your access then that would be different. So, we have had that discussion. We felt that in this ordinance because we had discussed it for a number of months and really needed to bring this forward and get this moving through the process because Code Enforcement has these questions come up repeatedly, especially on trailers and such, but that we do need to address that and we do need to bring something else forward whether it belongs in 7-2-1, which is likely where it will go and how we craft it so we can make sure that it is not something that we are going to end up with an enforcement nightmare in trying to do this all Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting r January 16, 2007 Page 10 of 15 over town, we just haven't got to that. So, we have thought of that and we are going to be bringing something else back. Zaremba: Great, thank you. My other question was, actually I guess for discussion and that is anticipating the person that would park their trailer in front of their house while they are loading it or unloading it or something for 72 hours and then the 71St hour they hook up their car, drive it around the block, bring it back and park it in the same place facing the opposite direction. Is there any desire to have a limit of number of times that you can do that per 30 days or month or anything like that? Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council, Councilman Zaremba one thing that other places, other jurisdictions have done and we can certainly add that language to this ordinance is that once that time limit expires, you must remove that vehicle from the face of the block for at least the equivalent period of time. So, we could certainly add some language like that to this ordinance to make it clear -normally, you know it doesn't happen very often, but certainly it can happen that people will move their car ten feet or move their car, you know, from one side of their house and the other and those kinds of things to try to avoid the citation. If you think that will make it clearer we certainly and I don't know if Lt. Overton has an opinion about it, but I certainly have seen that type of ordinance where it basically just requires you to move it off the block itself so that it can't locate it anywhere in front of that location for at least that same time. You could certainly do that. Overton: President Borton, Councilman Zaremba trailers have always been a very touchy area for parking because normally police aren't even notified until it has been there three, four or five days and then we go and we have to initiate a contact based on the fact that it is the first time that we have seen it. So, we give it another 72 hours. We have not had a problem in the past with people pulling it out and pulling it back unless it is a construction trailer, which is different than your typical travel trailers. The travel trailers normally by the time they get the wrath of the neighbors and us with getting stickers and fines, we don't see them reappearing. That does not do away with the neighbors that get upset because their neighbors go camping every weekend and so they have a 72 hour block every week and when they bring it back they are loading and unloading and we deal with those on a case by case basis. But, we have not had a serious problem with people trying to avoid a citation for illegal parking with taking it around the block and coming back -the vehicles, yes, but the travel trailers we haven't. Borton: Thank you Lt. Overton. That does sort of explain the practical effect that it is and it is in effect longer than 72 hours. You know it is the neighbor on day four that complains and then the clock kind of starts at that point. With regards to the drafting and some of Lt. Overton's comments - as much as maybe the four want to word-smith to the extent that there is any recommendations from the Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting January 16, 2007 Page 11 of 15 Traffic Safety Commission and Lt. Overton and the Code Enforcement officers who have to make the judgment call on timing or definitions, you know, their recommendations of particular language which allows them to enforce this is what I would look towards in support of. I think they would know best. (Inaudible--) -what definitions they need to make it effective. The question I have and the answer is probably in a different section is what is the citation for it? Can you tow it in addition to a fine? Nary: Mr. President, Members of the Council I knew you were going to ask that. It is just - I believe it is a citation and a fine. I don't believe there is a towing provision in this parking section from the public street. Now, maybe Lt. Overton would know better than I do. There is provisions for issuing citations for it. So, it does fall under the parking citations, but I don't recall, even looking now, I don't recall any provisions that we have authorized towing off of the street. Overton: President Borton, I believe it is currently a $25 fine for violation of that 72 hour period. At the point that it can become - if it is hooked up to a trailer, we give them that 72 hours. If it is not hooked up, we can treat it as an abandoned vehicle. When it is treated as an abandoned vehicle, then it is in a position that can be towed away. So, it all depends on how it is being used and how the situation arises; like we take them on a case by case. Generally speaking it is a ticket, if it is over the 72 hour mark, unless it is under the abandoned vehicle section, in which case we do look at towing them away. Borton: I don't know if I am asking a question that doesn't need into. I mean if the fine is self efficient; if there is a need to increase the punishment or the problem with persistent violators? Overton: President Borton I don't think we have seen - at least I don't recall, I don't get the phone calls whether we have a persistent violator that is causing us problems. We have empowered so many of our homeowners' association with the civil routes that they can also take to help work with us to deal with some of these situations that most of them end up getting resolved through that manner instead of through us piling on additional fines. Nary: I can maybe add to that too, Mr. President and Members of the Council that most of the discussion with the traffic team indicates that the notice is generally sufficient in their experience to get this problem resolved but for the abandoned vehicles and as Lt. Overton said those are the ones that do get towed. Most people don't, at least to this point, haven't pushed the notice provision that requires them to move it within the 72 hours or risk being towed or to take that risk. So, we haven't really had a problem. I mean we will look at the section on the fines and the citations to make sure that we don't have any issues of it and certainly if it becomes a recurring problem, we may be coming back saying people are considering this a cost of doing business and they are willing Meridian City Pre-Coun~Meeting January 16, 2007 Page 12 of 15 to pay $25 a whack to keep parking their car, but we haven't seen that to this point. Borton: Any further questions for Council? So, this will come forward for final approval? Nary: Yes, Mr. President, we will finish up some of these -some word-smithing and we will get that in front of you here in the next few weeks. Borton: Okay, very good. Thank you. Item 5. Discussion of the Design Review Position /Job Description by Anna Canning: Canning: President Borton and Members of the Council during the budget hearings I asked for money for a design planner, a principle planner that would head up our design review guidelines and also the implementation of those guidelines. But, I told you that I didn't plan on hiring that person until January and that I would come back to you with a job description. So, what I have provided for you tonight is a job description for the principle planner and also just some preliminary work that we had our intern do just on design guidelines verses prescripts of standards, verses design guidelines and how those can be implemented. That was just no more than just a little bit of information with regard to that. I am not asking you to discuss that tonight. What my thoughts are initially is that this planner would work to develop the guidelines or prescripts of standards and that we would have administrative design review with appeal up to a hearing examiner -that would be someone in the design profession and then if that appeal was unsuccessful, the applicant could appeal up to City Council. So, those are my initial thoughts. But, really what I am asking for tonight is just approval to go forward and hire someone with the job description that is before you tonight. The budgeted funds for this were before we did the salary adjustment for the planners. So, in the budget it actually has $48,500 as the salary. We are anticipating a salary closer to $55,000, but with a four month salary savings, there is plenty of money for this year's budget, and it would just be additional funds for next year's budget. That is all I have, other than to answer questions that you may have. Borton: Council, questions or comments? I know I have seen an electronic emailed version of the job description. I don't have a copy in front of me. Rountree: It is in here. Borton: Is this the job description? I thought it was just something more than that. Is it more than just these two pages? Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting January 16, 2007 Page 13 of 15 Canning: I thought the job description got forwarded to you as well. Borton: I have seen the email, I just don't have it here in front of me and it is not on the web link. Canning: I have a paper copy. I just modified it slightly from the existing principle planner position. Do you want me to just - well I can get this job description to you. Can I assume that Council is okay with it unless I hear otherwise within a short amount of time or do you want me to come back next week? Bird: Mr. President, I would prefer it to come back next week after we get to look at it and stuff. I am not - to be right up front, I am not real sure that we need to be hiring an extra person at this time in that department with our revenues being down what they are, even though we did have it budgeted doesn't mean you have to spend it. Borton: Anna, do you think there is some value to review that and it might even get tweaked a bit after the workshop on the 30th with P8Z. Is there anything that might come from that that could change what you think this position should fulfill? Canning: Two answers since it was atwo-fold question. I am not sure that our revenues are actually down; now development services are definitely down and we do rely on the Building Department's excess funds to fund a portion of our salary. I did look at our end of year numbers and we are dead even with last year, actually as far as the number of applications that we have processed and our revenues. So, those are similar, but I agree that the funds from the Building Department to support us definitely are lower. I do not have the expertise in- house to do the design guidelines and the standards that I hear that Council wants. I just don't have it right now. The available consultants, which is usually how we go -the consultants in town are few and far between and have been proven very difficult to get timely products out of. Our current efforts at design guidelines have gone very slowly because of that. So, I do think that if Council wants to have design guidelines for the city, I will need to hire someone. Now, whether that replaces somebody that is a whole different question. The joint discussion with the Planning and Zoning Commission -the Mayor asked us to schedule that joint commission and asked for that item to be on there. We haven't worked out the details of what that discussion is going to be. So, I am not sure if that discussion is going to influence this one at this time. Rountree: Mr. President. Borton: Mr. Rountree. • • Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting January 16, 2007 Page 14 of 15 Rountree: Anna, with my new found liaison role, I would like to have an opportunity to sit down with you on this particular topic and get all of us again a hard copy of the job description and we will get our heads together and put together a proposal of what we think has some merit and bring it forward either next week or the following week, if that is okay with you? Canning: Yes, that is fine with me and I apologize for not forwarding it to you as my liaison -you will find I am terrible at that because I am so used to not talking about everything to all of you - I am not allowed to most of the time, so I forget when I supposed to. So, I will get that to you and shall I put on as a Plannin~ Department report for next week as well? Or, do you want to wait until the 30 and just discuss it all then? Rountree: Mr. President, I don't know what the Pre-Council looks like next week. As I recall it is pretty full. Borton: It is. It begins at 6:00 with a split corridor update and discussion and Aldape property discussion. Canning: We can do it all the 30~'. That is fine. It makes some sense to do it that way. Bird: It would give us more time. Canning: Yeah. Great. I will do that. Thank you, sirs. Borton: I guess in that regard we are getting another copy of the proposed job description and information to the extent that everyone can get that before the 30~'. So, hopefully we all have seen it and reviewed it before. Canning: I should be able to get it out to Will for distribution tomorrow, once I find it. I actually couldn't find it once I - Borton: That brings us to the conclusion of our agenda for the Pre-Council meeting. Bird: I move we adjoum the Pre-Council meeting. Zaremba: Second. Borton: It has been moved and seconded to adjoum. All in favor? ALL AYES. MOTION CARRIED. • • Meridian City Pre-Council Meeting January 16, 2007 Page 15 of 15 MEETING AJDOURNED AT 6:46 P.M.

It is a discretionary review of the aesthetic aspects of physical development. The design review process is not intended to determine the use of a given site or address bulk and mass requirements such as set backs and height, which are otherwise covered in development review. Design review promotes or establishes community character and economic stability by ensuring that urban design and architectural principles adhere to community goals. Design review is intended to protect the general health, safety and welfare of the citizens by enhancing property values; protecting the natural environment; promoting community pride; protecting historical resources; preserving the aesthetic qualities which contribute to a City's character; and promoting the economic vitality of the community by preserving and creating well designed commercial and residential developments. • i ,Administering Design Review Design review is generally processed through two systems: a Design Review Board or an Administrative review. Together or separately they provide a means to ensure design standards meet community goals. A review board may be used for larger projects that require a more in depth assessment while smaller projects such as signage or plan modification could be done at the staff level. Board Level Design Review Design review at the board level provides transparency in the process and allows input to be heard from interested parties and citizens. Board review provides community oversight of the review process and the potential for involvement of other design professionals that may add perspective to the staff analysis. Community input is vital to the local government political process, but a drawback may be that it allows unrelated agendas to effect the design review process and adds a potentially unnecessary step in the design review process. The principal shortcoming of board review is the time intensiveness for staff and the extended review time required to accommodate meeting schedules. City staff usually has to complete all the review work it would otherwise do as a part of a staff only review, plus make presentations, coordinate schedules and so on. Staff Level Design Review Design review conducted by staff has the advantage to be focused and time efficient since there is no need to wait for board meetings to take place, and group consensus to be negotiated. It provides an efficient process that ensures a consistent and time focused effort is applied to all application review. The drawbacks of staff review may be the perception of a lack of public participation in the process. This shouldn't be a concern since most of the underlying actions will be considered through a public process (i.e. planning and zoning commission) as will the adoption of standards or guidelines. Tools of Design Review Overlay Districts Overlay Districts are often created to establish design criteria specific to certain areas For example, a community may establish a downtown or historic overlay district that has different design guidelines than another district and define the development process. Overlay districts are supplementary to the underlying land-use or zoning districts. Permitted/prohibited uses are specified in the underlying zones. Zoning continues to define the uses allowed on a given piece of property, along with other basic requirements such as parking ratios or maximum height. Design criteria address that finer grain of detail; the how rather than the what. Threshold Requirements for Review Thresholds are often used to determine the type and scope of the development to be reviewed. The threshold requirements provide the tipping point criteria which dictate the types of development subject to review. The following are examples of various project thresholds: Minor alterations of 10 percent or less to an existing building. Changes in existing structures Signs and landscaping Master Plan approval of large scale projects. New construction Multi-family Development Commercial buildings and site plans Preliminary Design Review Regardless of the system employed, (Board vs. Staff) a preliminary review process should be considered to determine if basic requirements are met in an application. This provides an exchange of information regarding design review standards and can be an effective process since it identifies issues likely to arise in processing an application and provides a basis for making improvements that will expedite project approval. Prescriptive Standards v. Guidelines Design standards vary in the amount of detail and specificity that a community employs. Some provide general guidelines for design that allows some autonomy on the part of the developer and designer. Others enforce specific standards that require strict adherence. Regardless of the amount of detail a city wants to provide in the design standards, its focus should be to provide principles that explain the criteria that the review body will use to judge it. A continuous theme for most communities is to provide general recommendations that are accompanied by specific examples. This allows for originality and variety in development and ensures a high standard of development is employed. The following are examples of requirements for development ranging from general guidelines to specific standards: General Guidelines- All building facade materials should be of high quality to enhance the appearance. The facade materials, or those that are architecturally compatible with the building materials should be compatible with the building materials and should be used for all exposed building walls and other architectural themes. Architectural style is not to be restricted; however the appearance of the building will be reviewed based on the use of materials and color, the quality of design, use of architectural details and compatibility with the overall theme of the area. (City of Boise) Prescriptive Standard--Facades shall be broken into distinct twenty to thirty foot modules or bays from side to side, to prevent a monolithic edge to the street. The modules can follow structural, historic, aesthetic, or functional dimensions, but should be contextual to the street. Large unarticulated walls are discouraged, and shall have a window or functional public access (such as a door or passageway) at least every ten feet. Facades exceeding fifty feet in length shall be visually broken down into bays through the use of architectural elements such as pilasters, reveals, or other three-dimensional surface modulations. Recommended materials include metal, brick, stone, concrete, plaster, and wood trim. Materials should be highly durable, attractive, and easily maintained, especially at the street level where pedestrians come into contact with the building. Cladding materials should not create glare. (City of Raleigh) Typically specific graphic examples are provided to accompany design review guidelines. These examples are presented to lessen ambiguity for developers so that proposed plans in their genesis will meet or exceed design standards. Eliminating guesswork will ensure the process is as efficient as possible but still allow the developer the opportunity to create unique project. The following are both examples of guidelines along with graphic examples: 1. The principal facade of commercial and mixed-use buildings should be divided into a base, middle, and top. Taller buildings are created by adding height in the middle tier. 2. The primary entrance shall be both architecturally and functionally designed on the front facade of the building facing the primary public street. Such entrances shall be designed to convey their prominence on the fronting facade. 3. Buildings at street corners should be designed to address the corner -that is, to engage the interest of drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists at the intersection. Provide a building entry, additional building mass and distinctive architectural elements at the corner. -~ J 4. Use building massing, special architectural features, and changes in the roof Zine to emphasize building entrances. 5. The ground level of the building must offer pedestrian interest along sidewalks and paths. This includes windows, entrances, and architectural details. 6. Signage, awnings, and ornamentation are encouraged. 7. Storefront windows should be transparent. Mirrorized glass, faux or display casements are strongly discouraged in lieu of exterior window treatments for the frontage elevation. 8. No frontage wall should remain unpierced by a window or functional general access doorway for more than 1 S feet. 9. Exterior building materials should have a human scale; this helps people relate to the size of the building. Examples include stone and brick. Non- modular exterior materials, such as stucco, and those in large modules, such as concrete panels, will need extra pedestrian-level facade details to reduce the building's bulk and create human scale. 10. YVindows, bays, and door openings should be proportioned so that verticals dominate horizontals except for street-level storefront windows, which may be square. 11. Large openings, such as large areas of glass or porches, should be made up of smaller vertically proportioned elements grouped together to create the desired width. horizontals 1. Each building should be designed to form part of the larger composition of the area within which it is located. 2. New buildings should strive for a contextual approach to design. A contextual design approach is not intended to necessarily mean a historicist approach, but rather one that is sensitive to the surrounding urban, built and natural conditions. 3. Adjacent buildings should relate in similarity of scale, height, and configuration. 4. Larger buildings (those with facades greater than 64 feet in width) should be broken down in scale by means of the articulation of separate volumes. These should be well proportioned and related to create a satisfactory composition. S. Drive-through windows and services are discouraged in the Core of mixed-use centers. If provided, they should be accessed at the building facade facing the rear property line away from the pedestrian street. 6. New buildings and the adaptive use of buildings should as much as possible use green building technologies for mechanical systems, energy needs and construction materials. 7. The adaptive use of the valuable historic building stock is an effective sustainable practice and is encouraged. Windows, bays, and doors openings should be proportioned so that verticals dominate the Commercial buildings can blend into a residential corridor provided the overall design is sensitive to the surrounding conditions QI~~~~&r ~i~~~~~~i~~Q~~ Q~~ Break larger buildings down into separate volumes (Raleigh Comp Plan) Fees Boise, ID Design Review Fee $400 Residential Applications (base fee plus $11 per unit) $364+11 Office, Commercial & Industrial Applications (base fee plus $11 per each 1,000 sq. feet of gross floor area or fraction thereof over 30,000 sq. ft.) $364+11 Modifications (committee Level) $243 Modifications (Staff Level) $120 Free-standing signs having more than 100 sq. ft. of background area ,and/or having over 30 ft. tall $260 Request to eztend a valid Design Review Permit (Committee Level) $78 Staff Level Design Review $158 Raleigh, NC First hour $700 Additional per 15 minute increment $200 First time cancellation rescheduling fee $300 Second time cancellation/rescheduling fee $500 Seattle, WA Intake Fee $155 Type A Permit (Variances, Administrative Conditional Uses) $1620 minimum Type B Permit (Master Use permits not covered in Type A) $2500 minimum Lot Boundary Adjustment $1250 Early Design Guidance $1500 Additional Hourly Fee $250 Council & Hearing Ezaminer Decision $2500 Administrative Decisions $2500 Design Review press A development application can take a variety of paths from submittal to approval. Design Review is often administered simultaneously with zoning compliance, blurring the lines that define the two. Regardless of whether zoning precedes design review, or vice versa, what remains constant is that the staff official determines the path a project takes in the development review process. The following is an example of the City of Bend's process: The City of Bend initiates its design review simultaneously with zoning compliance. The "type" refers to land use procedures while the "track" refers to the application's ability to meet design standards. After initial review, it is then determined what type and track will necessary to complete the application process. Type I (non-discretionary, "ministerial" decision); handled administratively without public notice or hearing Type II (discretionary, "administrative" decision); Type III (discretionary, "quasi judicial" decision with public hearing) Type IV ("legislative" decision by City Council). Track 1: Used when a building complies with all provisions of the code. This can be handled administratively bythe staff. The following activities fall under Track 1: a. Minor alterations of 10 percent or less to an existing building facade facing river. b. Changes in window or door placement visible from the river. c. Changes in parking locations. d. Fill or removal activity within 10 feet of the ordinary high water mark of the Deschutes River. e. New construction or additions that is not visible from the river due to topography, vegetation or existing development. Track 2: Used when a building is seeking exceptions to design standards. This application would go to the Planning Commission for decision. The following activities fall under Track 2: a. Appeal of a Type II administrative review decision. b. New construction and new development. c. Master Plan approval for large scale projects. d. Variances to an application in conformance with Chapter 5.1, Variances. e. Fill and removal activities associated with new development or for creation of fire breaks in association with appropriate fire prevention authorities.

With its direction, staff can recommend the thresholds for review; the process-staff vs. board; the sequence of Design Review in the development process; and the force of guidelines. If the city expects to practice administrative review it should also expect to invest substantial upfront time preparing the guidelines and having staff with the appropriate education and experience in design to administer the process.
