Public Hearing and Approval of Hunting Ordinance Amendment with Map EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council Meeting: December 3, 2019 AGENDA ITEM: Public Hearing and Approval of Hunting Ordinance Amendment with Map AGENDA SECTION: Public Hearing PREPARED BY: Kim Lindquist, Community Development Director AGENDA NO. 7.b. ATTACHMENTS: Ordinance, including Hunting Map APPROVED BY: LJM RECOMMENDED ACTION: OPEN Public Hearing and after taking testimony; Motion to Adopt an Ordinance Amending City Code 7-5-7 the Hunting Map SUMMARY The City has an adopted hunting map which lays out what areas of the City allow hunting by bow shotgun or neither. The last time the map was modified was in June 2017. Since that time there has been urbanized development approved on several of the parcels where hunting is permitted. Since that is contrary to the ordinance standards, staff is taking the opportunity to modify the map restricting hunting. The primary changes are in the Dunmore neighborhood and some parcels in the Akron Avenue area. Staff had received a call from a resident in the rural residential area, asking that their property be excluded from the permitted hunting area. It was clarified that the hunting map does not allow the public to venture unto private property for hunting without consent of the property owner. In other words, while the ordinance permits hunting in certain areas, each homeowner has the right to prohibit hunting on their land. The change to the ordinance is solely the adoption of a new map which is part of the City Code. To provide some public notice, staff has published for a public hearing the modification of the hunting map. Additionally, the Council is being asked to hold a public hearing for the code change. This is atypical as compared to other city code modifications, except for zoning ordinance amendments which by law require a public hearing. The notice regarding modifications to the hunting ordinance has been published. The City Council is scheduled to hold the public hearing and if there are no comments that warrant ordinance amendments, staff is requesting the Council take action on the ordinance. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Council hold the public hearing and approve the ordinance amendment if there are no substantive requests for modification.
