City Council Minutes—March 12, 2012
At 7:17 p.m. Mayor Dean Maxwell called the regularly scheduled Anacortes City Council study session of
March 12, 2012 to order. Eric Johnson, Ryan Walters, Erica Pickett, Brad Adams, Cynthia Richardson
and Brian Geer were present. Bill Turner was absent.
2010 Development Regulations Amendments: Anacortes Municipal Code Chapters 16, 17, 18 and
Proposed Chapter 19, Options A and B
City Council began its review of 2010 proposed development regulation amendments. Planning Director
Ryan Larsen referenced his February 9, 2012 memorandum and attachments provided to City Council
including the proposed amendments, the Planning Commission's recommendation for each proposal, a
summary of public comments and copies of public comment letters received as of February 8, 2012. Mr.
Larsen and councilmembers then reviewed each of the proposed changes in AMC Title 16, Subdivisions,
and Title 17, Zoning (Sections 17.01 through 17.14), as outlined on pages 1-18 of the memorandum to
City Council from Senior Planner Libby Grage dated February 3, 2012.
Mr. Larsen and Assistant Planning Director Don Measamer recorded councilmember feedback on each
proposed change, marked several items for redrafting and consideration at a subsequent review session,
and noted councilmember requests for future consideration of code changes not proposed for
amendment as part of the 2010 cycle.
At the completion of this review Mr. Larsen asked councilmembers how they wished to proceed with the
review of the rest of the 2010 proposed amendments. Mr. Adams reminded that the City Council Planning
Committee had suggested spending up to an hour on the review at each subsequent City Council
meeting and study session which had room on the agenda, after all other agenda items. Mayor Maxwell
agreed. Mr. Johnson asked that the targeted code sections for each meeting be announced in advanced
to allow councilmembers to focus their preparations for each meeting and as a service to the public. Mrs.
Richardson and Mr. Walters agreed. Mayor Maxwell and Mr. Larsen advised they would proceed
accordingly.
There being no further business, at approximately 9:15 p.m. the regularly scheduled Anacortes City
Council study session of March 12, 2012 adjourned.
