City Council

Oroville Planning Commission Monday, February 26, 2018 The meeting was called to order at 4:35 by Chairman, Luis Perez. Commissioners Present: Luis Perez, Arnie Marchand, Suzie Seger, and Valorie Johnston Absent: none Staff present: Deanna Rowton and Christian Johnson Suzie made a motion to approve the minutes for the January 22nd meeting. It was seconded by Valorie and it passed. Deanna reported that last month’s report of only 1 member being required to live in city limits was incorrect. Members each got a copy of corrected by laws and it was pointed out that requirements are 2 from inside city limits, 2 from outside city limits and that there is 1 at-large position, which is the current open position. We currently have two people interested in serving and those names will be forwarded to the Mayor and Council for recommendations. Christian referred to his Letter of Transmittal regarding the Critical Areas Ordinance Review and Update. He explained that this update has a deadline of June 30th and then it is another 8 years before we are required to address it again. We reviewed the checklist from the Department of Commerce and Christian asked members to compare the checklist and Chapter 18.02 of the Oroville Municipal Code, online, to ensure that we are in compliance. We will review it once more during the March meeting, have a hearing at the May meeting, then Council can have a hearing for this in June and we can meet the June 30th deadline. Valorie made a motion to “formally initiate a review of the City’s Critical Areas Ordinance for compliance, the Commission will use the Department of Commerce CAO Checklist for this review, and any identified items of questions will be consolidated during our March meeting. These identified items and the ordinance as a whole will be put out for public comment and plan for a public hearing during our May meeting.” Suzie seconded the motion and it passed. Then Christian referred to his Letter of Transmittal regarding the text amendment for Accessory Dwelling Units. He reported that during the hearing at the last Council meeting, they identified several topics they felt needed clarity or revision. The Council returned it back to the Planning Commission for further review and revision. He went over the issues of concern and there was discussion on each item. Christian will have a summary at the next meeting of revised text and have it prepared to go as a recommendation to Council. 1  The focus of the meeting then went to Land Use Designations and more conversation regarding revision and updates to those. We discussed Border Commercial, Limited Retail/Service Commercial, Tourist Commercial and Tourist Recreational. The plan is to look at this on the map next month. Arnie made a motion that “we show a movie, entitled ‘The River’, at the March 19th meeting and that for the June 18th meeting we meet out at the airport.” Valorie seconded the motion. After discussion the motion passed. The meeting was adjourned at 5:40. 2
