find out what they can do with their property, including who will make the decision, how long it will take to get to yes (or no), and what can be done if one someone disagrees with the outcome. Similarly, entrepreneurs seeking locations for new businesses want to know where they can locate and what requirements will apply. A code format and development review procedures that provide the type of certainty that applicants seek are not antithetical to the public's demand for transparency and opportunities for input into the development review process. Indeed, a code that provides greater certainty for applicants can also provide certainty to residents who want to know what can be built next door and who will decide. We anticipate consolidating administrative provisions currently scattered throughout the code into one article, with the goals of: 1) streamlining certain review processes, 2) consolidating provisions to improve usability of the code and ensure consistency among processes, and 3) updating/revising any other administrative provisions that staff has found problematic. Subtask 5.3: Public Review Draft Zoning Code Based on input and direction from City staff on the second administrative draft Zoning Code, the MIG Team will prepare revisions to the updated Zoning Code for public review and distribution. The public review draft will be suitable for posting by the City on the City's website. We propose posting the Zoning Code online in a format that allows the public to interactively comment on the code provisions using Konveio. No printed copies of the public review draft are planned to be produced. Task 5 Meetings: Meetings with City staff to review administrative draft Zoning Code articles Task 5 Deliverables: a Administrative draft #1 Zoning Code (online shared files) a Administrative draft #2 Zoning Code (online shared files) » Public review draft Zoning Code — For posting on City website and Konveio TASKSB: DRAFT AND FINAL ZONING MAPS Subtask 5B.1: Prepare Draft Zoning Map The City's zoning map will need updating to be consistent with the new General Plan land use policy map. Properties within the five Focus Areas that received new land use designations will require zone changes. In addition, other properties outside of the Focus Areas have inconsistent zoning district and land use designations that will require rezoning for consistency. And, through the code update process, City staff may determine that certain special area plans could be rezoned for simplicity. Using GIS data provided by City staff for both the General Plan and zoning map, the MIG Team will prepare a consistency matrix indicating the correlation between the land use designations and zoning districts and use this to identify where inconsistencies are on the zoning map. (Working collaboratively with Planning staff, we will identify the proper zones to assign to achieve consistency and then create a draft revised zoning map for staff review. MIG, Inc.
