Public hearing: Title 13 text amendment on grading and retaining walls
Continued
The community development director presented an amendment covering retaining walls in setback areas, particularly near fence lines, which would change the process for seeking a variance through the hearing officer. No one commented and no vote was taken.

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.
