CLEAR & OBJECTIVE HOUSING: APPROVAL C RITERIA UPDATE November 13, 2018 DRAFT Preferred Concepts Report: Maintenance Issues Page 5 of 59 Maintenance Issues: Summary Table of Preferred Concepts Several identified issues represent procedural changes or amendments that would create consistency between the clear and objective and discretionary review tracks, consistency with other sections of the land use code, or otherwise improve efficiency or effectiveness. They require only maintenance-level code revisions that are relatively straightforward. These maintenance level issues were not addressed as part of the working group sessions as they offer readily-available solutions that require less attention and discussion relative to the larger, more challenging issues that were discussed by the working groups. Maintenance Issue Preferred Concept Reason COM-01 Needed Housing Criterion For conditional use, partition, planned unit development, site review, and su bdivision applications , remove criterion that requires applicant to demonstrate that the proposed housing is needed housing . Consistency with State Law COM-02 Applicable Standards Reference for CUPs For conditional use, revise the language to require compliance with all applicable standards (instead of using “including but not limited to”) and add additional development standards to the list of standards, including public improvement and street standards. Consistency with other clear and objective application types COM-03 Bonding Requirement For conditional use permits and site reviews, revise the timing specified to construct or bond for required public improvements to be prior to issuance of a development permit. For final planned unit developments no t associated with land divisions, add a criterion, similar to that required for final subdivisions, to require that public improvements be completed or bonded prior to approval of the final application. Effectiveness COM-04 Overlay Zone Standards Revise the clear and objective track approval criteria for the five application types to include compliance with the lot dimensions and density requirements in overlay zones. Use the same language provided for the discretionary track applications to require compliance with: “Lot standards of EC 9.2000 through 9.4170 regarding applicable lot dimensions and density requirements.” Consistency with discretionary track COM-05 Planned Unit Deve lopment Adjustment/Modification Replace criterion that requires compliance with “all applicable development standards explicitly addressed in the application except where the applicant has shown that a modification is consistent with the purposes as set out in EC 9.8300 Purpose of Planned Unit Development” with a requirement for compliance with “all applicable development standards explicitly addressed in the application” and continue to allow for adjustment reviews.
