Ordinance 2020-09: Temporary zoning regulation on retaining walls (13.76.700)
Tabled · 6-0
The community development director proposed temporary changes so certain retaining walls would be reviewed by the Technical Review Committee rather than the Planning Commission. A moratorium was discussed but judged unnecessary; one completed application was pending. A Planning Commission hearing was set for June 16, a possible council hearing July 9 and a vote July 16.
