Chairperson Fox noted that when a City Council item was continued, members of the public may speak on that item during Meeting Open to the Public and that each individual item was not opened. She requested clarification in that regard and requested that staff review the resolution, City Council minutes, and staff report from 2002 which highlighted the inconsistencies. She noted that each Commission had liaison Commission members between City Commissions. She supported seeing what the City Council says, but unless it agrees that there should be changes, she believed the Planning Commission should defer to its requirements. Municipal Code Consistency Commissioner Narum believed there should be some active level of working on the Code to amend the language and provide clarification regarding trailers, campers, boats, and RV vehicles. Commissioner Blank suggested asking staff to approach Council to agendize an item to amend the Code and, pending the amendment of that Code and if Council agreed, the Planning Commission could devote some time to develop some guidelines that could be used such as what occurred with the sprinklers. Commissioner Narum suggested holding workshops within the Planning Commission. In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Fox regarding whether the City Council was considering an RV ordinance, Ms. Harryman replied she was not aware of that but that they did receive emails regarding RVs parking on the street and whether the 72-hour restriction was being enforced. She noted that the Commission had discussed a fire sprinkler ordinance, sports courts, and other items, and suggested that the Commission discuss whether to agendize this issue for a future issue. She noted that the City did not receive many complaints regarding RVs and suggested that the Commission prioritize its concerns. Commissioner Blank believed that had been done and recalled that the sprinkler ordinance had been prioritized for the City Council work plan. Chairperson Fox noted that there were no hybrid ordinances such as storing an RV for 90 days and believed that should be examined. She added that the City Council directed the Planning Commission to examine the reconsideration of the conditional use permit process. Ms. Decker noted that City Council requested that staff return with information regarding a Code amendment and what that might mean, as well as its parameters; at that point, direction would be given. She recommended that staff could provide an information report, agendize the item, and take a sampling of various neighborhoods with photographs to discuss the RV issue in a broader scope.
