MOTION. carried. 19,32 COUNCIL COMMMITY AGENDA SjuDy ITEMS Chairwomanan 'asiliOU recognized the Commission's Council Coordinatiiiq Representative, atm Threi nen, and she reviewed the February 5, 1982 Staff Memorandum outlining the CityCouncil's priorities. he stated the Commission should discuss the first two ltems5 regardinq the Hazardous Waste FdCllity siting and the future role of the Adult Correctional Facility and its impact on the City. Extensive discussion'ensued regarding the Adult Correctional Iracility and direction the Commission could take in evaluating possible Ordinance Amendments. Counc.ilmember Threiner reviewed previous discussions wherein one approach to be considered could be the amendment of the ZoningOrdinanceotoestablishtheexistingfacilityas < a non -conforming land use which wooed be thereby ` constrained from further expansion and enlargement, Additional discus 'on centered on a matter, of the determinant sentencing, and proposed state legislation. Counci.lr emb r Threinen commented that one basic question is to what --extent the present facility is consistent and compatible with the harm .'er of surrounding development and the City today. Staff u e ttu-d that the issue is a Community -wide matterutter and not one exclusively focused on the concerns of immediate neighborhoods. Chairwoman Vasilfou stated that earler hearings and discussions with neighbors indicated there were some mixed feelings and concerns about' the Workhouse-, ,some persons were concerned that the facil ty should be restricted from any further development ' and eventuallyphasedcut; whereas) other persons were primarily oriented to effective regulation and ` control ' of the facilities perations and in parttoualar, the type and number of inmates. She stated that one view would be the facility hasexistedforanumberofyearsandpredatesmostifnotall of the residences in the ,area page 266 Planning } mi.ssi n Minute's f'bra- i Farther discussion suggested that the character of the faeili -had changed in terms of its pro4rdms and the scope of its use, from-,-a 1i.te:rai workhouse and dairy farm,, t formal medium security prison and detention facility. Commissioner Plufkd stated trtlat bath the City and the institution had changed in character and that perhaps an approach would be to riot classify it as ` a non-conforming use, but rather establish criteria in the Ordinance which would )rovide d el arer definition and restrictions as to ' the op- ra t ion. Staff suggested some eptitgns which could be considered a n determininq the approp.ri,at.e approaches to be taken in amending the Zoning Ordi,n,n es for purposes' of further r uld.tion of the facility. Otte option wou,l€t be to more specifically define current Ordinance lancludge : regarding, *1n-tib tit inhs, and exe, iud e penal 'MitRituti ns and detention favi" Iti.es, thereby renderivq the existing facility as a non-oon°f rminq use. Staff ;p,leined that the exclusion was significant since pr vi.slo*t for such facilities in the list of allowable uses Is to provide or them in at least one of the established Zoning Districts, Another option would be to more specifically define penal institutions and correctional facilities in the Ord inanoe as allowable conditional uses which could be further regulated aecord.*Mg to established Ordinance criteria that would be conditions of the Permits., With 'that approach, the existing facility would riot be a tIOn-cQ11forming usebut would be a type of use subject to special: criteria' and conditions which could address matters such as size and type. Commissioner pl of a stated that the Commission needs to define the type of facility that is desired or not wanted. Commissioner ei.gerwald agreed,, and sogges ed that if the giOrdinancepreciselydefinedtheeAnlitwhich ' is now subjects to various standards r.,)k reculatio s governing Population density and 55taffing, ..his cv d represent a ceiling' on the size and Intensity of the facility.

It was eono,luded the further public information was not necessary on this Issue since community concerns were well - established. Commissioner Pluf a observed however, that i was necessary for staff to assemble the appropriate siting criteria ,and to develop it into the proper Ordinance Amendment format. ; Commissioner St i e wald suggested, and the Commission eoncurr d,, that a Public.
