that staff under the administrative process is empowered to waive certain requirements.
Even if we had 100% objective standards, would that ever change?
Would we ever not be in a position where we might want to waive things?
And the administrative process is to the developer's advantage, it sounds like, because the flexibility is more of waiving things as opposed to adding additional constraints, which state law wouldn't allow us to do anyway.
Because the developer might or applicant might choose not to waive things and they wouldn't be forced to do that or whatever.
Great, thanks.
So I'm gonna clarify something that I thought I heard the director say.
In the council meeting, you guys proposed developing this process and the term ministerial was used at the time.
Through your evaluation, you've come back and said this process would be what we'd recommend.
You are not recommending through this document or in any other way that a ministerial process would be put in place separately or beyond this and that the method of improving, reducing the discretion in the administrative process is not related to this document but would be through the
addressing the standards in the precise plans in other areas, that there is no, my read of this is there's nothing in this that says we will work towards a 100% ministerial process if we adopt this.
That's what I thought I heard.
But a couple of commissioners have said the goal is still a ministerial process.
I did not hear that.
Is that the case?
Okay, so council could say we don't agree, come back with that, but you're not proposing that in this document?
I'm hearing something different from the commissioners.
So my previous line of questioning was based on a different commissioner also raising this administrative to administerial kind of eventuality, but I'm comfortable with...
with having the administrative process.
I'm comfortable with allowing staff discretion, understanding the intent of what's precise plans or whatever the controlling document is.
