Continue Discussion on Potential Performance Standards for Managed Natural Landscapes

At the August Environmental Policy Board (EPB) meeting, the Board discussed the idea of developing performance standards for natural landscapes.  There did seem to be consensus among board members to consider standards within the right-of-way, but nothing really beyond that.  Staff has prepared a rough draft of an ordinance amendment to assist with this discussion.  There are really three (3) components to the ordinance amendment.  First, simply adding several definitions to Chapter 30 (Nuisances) of City Code.  Secondly, it specifically addresses information that needs to be included in a management plan.  Thirdly, it attempts to identify standards that are applicable when attempting to establish and maintain a natural landscape.  It's primarily this third component that Staff is seeking input from the EPB on.
