DISCUSSION ON PROPOSED COMMUNITY IMPACT,STATEMENT REGARDING BUSINESSES
City Clerk Irene Varney Moran had provided copies of ordinances from several cities which require
community impact statements in connection with business license applications for businesses which
may have -a detrimental effect on family -oriented communities. She.noted that drug paraphernalia and
saunas/massage parlors -presently are regulated by City ordinances, but adult bookstores are'not. If
an ordinance.were to be passed requiring the community impact statement, the burden for preparation
would be on the applicant, not on the City: She felt it would not add appreciably to any City'
workload. Councilman Naughten commented that he felt this was an excellent idea. COUNCILMAN
NAUGHTEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILWOMAN GOETZ, THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY BE INSTRUCTED TO DRAFT AN
ORDINANCE SIMILAR TO THE MARYSVILLE ORDINANCE REQUIRING COMMUNITY IMPACT STATEMENTS FOR CERTAIN
TYPES OF BUSINESSES... City Attorney Jim Murphy noted that it had been suggested previously that the
Planning Advi.sory Board should discuss this. Councilman Gould responded that he favored this very
strongly and felt the City should act before it -gets a problem. THE MOTION CARRIED..

following this evening's meeting, so was doing so at-thi;s:aime; to_dioscuss" arlegal:_question, regarding
the fishing pier parking lot. y

trial, and the last quarter was agreed on as a trial period. COUNCILWOMAN JAECH MOVED, SECONDED BY
