WORK SESSION ON DEVELOPMENT CODE
The Council and Planning Commission met in a workshop setting to review a draft of Chapter 1
of the Scandia Development Code. This administrative chapter was prepared following the
January 12 work session. Definitions,basic procedures and notice requirements contained in the
draft were reviewed in a discussion led by City Administrator Anne Hurlburt.
It was emphasized that the definitions section is considered a work in progress. Changes will be
necessary as district regulations are discussed at future work sessions.
An administrative permit and approval process will be replacing the current practice of issuing a
certificate of compliance for uses or events which meet performance standards. This approach
will allow the applicant to proceed without waiting for council approval.
A site plan review will also be a new procedure in the updated Development Code. The group
discussed the criteria for classifying site plan reviews as either major or minor.
Section 13, Nonconforming Buildings, Structures, Uses and Lots will be further reviewed in the
next work session.
