an existing PUD. I understand it as a two -step process where somebody would submit an application for a Minor PUD Mod, we would take that through the administrative process, including the notice period, the decision, and the appeal period, and then we would do the same for a Minor CUP which would start after the appeal period for the PUD Mod. Commissioner Balch: But only if the Minor PUD had made it a Minor CUP element. Beaudin: Right, a new Minor CUP use. Commissioner Balch: Correct. Chair Ritter: I support it. Commissioner Allen: I support it. Commissioner Nagler: I think it's completely reasonable and appropriate. Chair Ritter: It puts a level of protection on the process. Commissioner O'Connor: You still have a notification process. The reason why I would say I think it's redundant is because we are putting staff in place as the person who's going to make the decision on the Minor PUD and also the person who is going to make the decision on the Minor CUP and we do still have the notification period which happens once and not twice. Commissioner Brown: I'm kind of with Greg on this. If the same person is making both decisions, albeit it gives two opportunities for the public to weigh in and send it back, but if it's the same person making both decisions, I don't see why it shouldn't be concurrent. If you want to extend the notification period or if you want to extend the notice area or various things like that, I get that but the two -step process to me is adding inefficiency to what is intended to be a fast -track process. But if you do a PUD Mod to add a conditional use then to me it's one in the same decision. If you're going to approve that, then you're approving the first case of that. Commissioner O'Connor: And one won't go through without the approval of the other. Commissioner Nagler: There's great precedence in our democracy of what we call the first and second reading, and so in the case of actions by the Council, the legislature, Congress, there's a long tradition of telling the public that a vote is going to come and giving the public an opportunity to comment and then taking the vote, and that that's always the same body. So, I appreciate your logic, but that's why I think that what Commissioner Balch is suggesting is appropriate because there's precedence, and even at that, the process is going to be shortened substantially. Commissioner Brown: I'll counter that. If you're going to have a notice period, you're going to have a decision, and then you're going to have an appeal period, you already have a two -step process.
