"-' '" t ~fl'II;"'\..,\'';'''''' Planning Commission Report re: Establishment of "No Shooting" Zones in Jefferson County: Planning Commission member Dennis Schultz reported that the No Shooting Zone Review Committee of the Planning Commission reviewed the County's current No Shooting Zone Ordinance and found that it doesn't meet the County's needs. They also reviewed the ordinances of adjacent counties. They recommend that a "no shooting zone" can be proposed by a petition of20 residents of the area, or by a recommendation from the County Sheriff or the County Commissioners. The existing code states that no shooting is allowed in the zone, which doesn't allow for security guards, protecting livestock, etc. The Planning Commission recommended that the Board establish a citizen review committee with representation from stakeholders in the area, the Sheriffs Office, DCD staff, and 3 residents at large. This committee would consider no shooting areas and potential criteria revision and make a recommendation to the Board. The Planning Commission also provided information that the review committee can use as a "starting point." Once the criteria is established, the stakeholder members of the review committee would change depending on the proposed area. Jim Hagan, Planning Commission, explained that one of the reasons they suggested the establishment of a review committee to make a recommendation on standard criteria for the ordinance is because the County's current development regulations on "no shooting zones" don't address performance standards. He added that at the public hearing on the Paradise Bay "No Shooting Zone," there were several comments about the noise. The RCW addresses public safety and doesn't mention noise. The committee will need to see if noise can be used as a basis. Exemptions would also have to be addressed. Commissioner Sullivan suggested making this a 2 phase process: 1) reviewing the changes to the ordinance suggested by the Planning Commission, and 2) developing the criteria. Commissioner Rodgers noted that he doesn't feel the ordinance is ready for review by the Board and Chairman Johnson agreed. County Administrator John Fischbach stated that since the Board is in agreement with the Planning Commission's recommendation, he will work with DCD staff on how to proceed. Commissioner Rodgers moved to have the County Administrator work with DCD staff and come back to the Board with a specific recommendation. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. The meeting was recessed at the close of business on Monday and reconvened on Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. Chairman Johnson and Commissioner Rodgers were present. Commissioner Sullivan had an excused absence. Page 4 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of June 5, 2006 ~""'..'."..'. f. ..
