ChecIdist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist wil► be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many
pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine
whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects
the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as
published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number
printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling
an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

(1) For new development or significant
redevelopment, those stormwater manage-
ment systems that eventually discharge
into the city's MS4 (municipal separate
storm sewer systems) should mitigate
any increase in pollutant loads to the
maximum extent practicable. To meet
this requirement, the city encourages the
use of best management practices such
as stormwater reuse and nutrient separat-
ing baffle boxes, as well as low impact
development technologies, including but
not limited to: replacement of traditional
paving materials with porous concrete or
pervious pavement; grass swales; bio-
retention basins or rain gardens, green
roofs or rain barrels/cisterns; and other
comparable methods.
(2) For new development or significant
redevelopment abutting natural surface
waterbodies, the developer shall imple-
ment a minimum of one (1) low impact

artificial canals, ditches, channels or the construc-

rapidly convey runoff to any receiving waters or
substantially reduce the level of the groundwater
table, is expressly prohibited except on authority
of the city engineer.
(c) Street subdrains or underdrains may be
required where soil and water conditions war-
rant. All underdrain trenches shall be back -

of the action appealed from, including the issu-
ance of a building permit or development order,
unless the administrative official from whom the
appeal is taken certifies in writing to the board
of adjustment after the notice of appeal is filed
that, because of facts stated in the certificate, a
stay would, in the administrative official's opinion,
cause imminent peril to life and property. In
such case where the administrative official makes
such certification, proceedings shall not be stayed
other than by an injunction issued by a court of
competent jurisdiction

Sec. 20-36. Expiration of conditional use,
variance and waiver approv-
als.
(a) Any conditional use, variance or waiver
approved by the city commission under this
Division shall expire two (2) years after the
effective date of such approval by the city com-
mission, unless a building permit based upon
anI incorporating the conditional use, variance,
or waiver is issued by the city within said time
period. Upon written request of the property
owner, the city commission may extend the
expiration date, without public hearing, an
additional six months, provided the property
owner demonstrates good cause for the exten-
sion. In addition, if the aforementioned building
permit is timely issued, and the building permit
subsequently expires and the subject develop-
ment project is abandoned or discontinued for a
period of six months, the conditional use, vari-
ance or waiver shall be deemed expired and null
and void.
(b) The city commission hereby finds that
there may be one or more unexpired conditional
use, variance, or waiver permits previously
granted by the city that may have never been
acted upon or abandoned by the property owner.
The city commission finds that these unexpired
permits may now be detrimental to the public
health, safety, and welfare of the community due
to changed circumstances in the surrounding
neighborhood and changes in law. Therefore, the
provisions of this section shall apply retroactively
to any unexpired conditional use, variance, and
waiver previously granted by the city commis-
sion. It is the intent and purpose of this subsec-
tion to void any previously granted conditional
use, variance, and waiver permit that does not
comply with the provisions of this section and to

require the property owner to reapply, under
current circumstances, for said permit should
the property owner desire or need said permit.

Sec. 20-37. Limited administrative vv "Xv-
ers.
(a) Authorization by city manage: Waivers to
the adopted land development regulations set
forth in this chapter may be authorized
administratively by the city manager or designee,
subject to the procedures and limitations of this
section. Designees under this section may be
approved by city manager by written administra-
tive order.
(b) Waivers subject to administrative review
a .1

(1) Administrative waivers maybe considered
for height, area, size, or design
dimensional requirement of a structure
Gr urcllicecLural icaLul°e; and/or distance
requirement, size of yard, setback and
open space requirements of an applicable
zoning district including the transect
design standards in the town center
district. Administrative waivers shall not
exceed ten (10) percent of the applicable
requirement.
The city manager may authorize the
administrative review and approval of a
waiver when a property owner clearly
demonstrates:
a. The waiver is necessary, as a condi-
tion of city permit approval, to allow
the reasonable use of the subject
property and any proposed or exist-
ing improvements thereon; and
b. Such waiver will not: (i) have more
than a de minimus impact on the
subject property and surrounding
area; (ii) be contrary to the public
interest; (iii) be incompatible with
the surrounding area; (iv) have an
adverse effect on the neighborhood
or general welfare of the area; and
(v) have the effect of nullifying the
intent and purpose of any applicable
provision of this chapter.
(c) Application submittal and fee. Application
for an administrative waiver by the city manager
shall be made on a form provided by the com-
munity development department and shall be
accompanied by an application fee established
by the city. As part of the application, the city
manager reserves the right to require a signed
affidavit (submitted on a form prepared by the
city) from all abutting property owners indicat-
ing no objection to the requested waiver. In such
case, failure of the applicant to obtain signatures
of all abutting property owners will constitute a
basis for denying the application. For the purpose
of this section, the term "abutting" shall include
those properties directly across a road.
(d) Conditions. The city manager may prescribe

that the purposes of this section, chapter and
other applicable regulations set forth in the City
Code are carried out, and to ensure that the
waiver granted is the minmi,m necessary to
allow reasonable use of the land and improve-
ments.
(e) Further action. Applications approved by
the city manager under this section shall be
deemed final. However, a denial of a request for
an administrative waiver by the city manager
shall be considered a non -final order of the city
and shall not be appealable. Applications denied
under this section shall not preclude an applicant
from requesting a variance or waiver from the
city commission pursuant to other applicable
provisions of this chapter. In such cases, the
applicant shall submit a formal application for a
variance or waiver consistent with the require-
ments set forth in this chapter, and decisions
made on such applications shall be deemed final
and subject to appeal in a court of competent
jurisdiction.
(f) Approvals by city commission. The city
commission can use the limited administrative
criteria in subsection (b) to grant applicable
waivers when considering and making final deci-
sions on any other land use application requiring
city commission approval such as approval of
final engineering plans. Such waivers are not
subject to the application requirements in subsec-
tion (c) and shall not exceed twenty (20) percent

of the applicable requirement. However, in
conjunction with the land use application requir-
ing city commission approval, the applicant and
city staff shall identify the applicable limited
waivers and address, in writing, the criteria in
subsection (b). Additionally, if deemed necessary
and relevant by city staff or city commission to
approving the limited waiver requested, the
applicant shall provide such relevant informa-
tion enumerated in section 20-29 to support
granting the waiver request.
