§17.110.345
Home Business code
ADUs
Add Language
Landscaping code
Define
Add as use table category
Add design regulations
Wind tower and alternative energy
code
Home Business Code and the permit system is outdated.
Currently ACUP and CUP. Costs to public are very
significant and run contrary to affordable housing goals.
Some public has expressed desire to be absentee
landlords (ie, not live in either on-site structure).
Change will require Comp Plan reference, might be able
to include this in partial update.
Landscaping Code has multiple conflicts or interpretations
throughout Title 17. Code does not reflect ‘water wise’
plantings or utility credits for such. Code is not practical in
some areas (eg, non-native species maintenance).
Change will require Comp Plan reference.
How does the county justify approval or non approval
without a vision?
Change will require Comp Plan reference beyond
definition level.
 Define LID and SW management
develop incentivized program for
developing with those systems.
 Create design standards for LID
thresholds relative to incentives.
 Create a landscaping section
identifying standards for low impact
development
Low Impact Development (LID) and
Storm Water (SW) management
Change will require Comp Plan reference beyond
definition level.
Create new code to account for use.
Electric Vehicle Code
Change will require Comp Plan reference.
