This is an informational item and requires no action. Staff would like to the Council to leave this session with a better high-level understanding of the City's land use application processes.

City Administrator Chris Kukulski coordinated with the Planning and Community Services Department, Public Works Department and other Departments to participate in a series of Land Use Application Process sessions for City Council at upcoming Work Sessions or special meetings. This idea was generated after questions and discussion by Council during recent reviews and actions on land use applications indicated that more background and explanation of the land use application processes might help the Council on the context and background work that each application process requires. The first session was held on April 18, 2022 at a Council Work Session and provided an overview of pre-development concept review processes, annexation petitions, and the zoning application process. Several more sessions were contemplated and this session will be the second one. The sessions are designed to further educate the Council on the processes, clarify why the land use processes are administered the way they are, and illicit from Council application process items or specific issues it would like to further review and discuss in upcoming sessions.

Tonight, staff from Parks, Planning and Public Works will lead the discussion on subdivision requirements and process. Subdivisions will be broken down into two parts with a subsequent session to be scheduled in September. 

The only alternative for this non-action item is for the Council to listen to the material presented, engage in discussion, and provide guidance on topics for future sessions.

There is no significant financial impact to the PCSD budget in making this presentation at a Work Session.
