C. Review and recommendation for Minor Zone Text Amendment for CPMC 17 60.190 relating to vehicular traffic in residential zones. Sue Riegel reviewed the Report from the Planning Department. Rather than delete CPMC 17.60.190, Planning recommends it be amended to read: "8. the home occupation shall not encourage customer or client visits to the dwelling that would result in more than a limited increase in neighborhood vehicular traffic levels above those levels generated by the residential uses." Sue stated that this gives discretion to the Planning Commission and Planning/Zoning to take a look at what use is being proposed for a residential neighborhood and make that decision upon a case by case basis. There are a number of criteria that would vary by neighborhood and this would give the city flexibility. Commission Farber made a motion that the Planning Commission recommend approving the Zone Text Amendment of CPMC 17.60.190 relating to vehicular traffic in residential zones as amended. Commissioner Johnson seconded the motion. ROLL CALL VOTE: Dunlap, yes; Farber, yes; Fish, yes; Johnson, yes; Rapp, yes; Gilkey, yes.

MISCELLANEOUS Sue Riegel told the Planning Commission that she and Dave Kucera wanted to bring to them for their review a proposal to make the approval of Final Plats an administrative action. This would keep it within the Planning/Public Works area but would not have to come before the Planning Commission, if the final plat is substantially the same as the tentative plan. If there are major changes from the tentative plan, then it would have to come before the Planning Commission. Commissioner Farber stated that if there is significant and substantial changes from the tentative plan, they would have to redo the tentative plan and bring it back for review again. The City of Medford and Jackson County now approve Final Plats administratively. Commissioner Fish stated that the Planning Commission needs to be kept informed on the final plat decisions. Sue Riegel stated she would bring the information concerning this proposal to the next Planning Commission Meeting. VIII. ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Fish made a motion to adjourn.
