Page 2 of 3 As a next step, staff is looking for direction from the City Council on the discussion items that will then be shared with HKGi. This feedback will be shared with the consultants and incorporated into the draft ordinance language that is being prepared. Items for discussion include consideration of the following: • Lot Standards – For the Business Park (former B-4) and Gateway Business zoning districts and recommended simplifying the minimum lot sizes that were associated with those uses (Attachment B). • Site Standards - HKGi is recommending reducing front yard setbacks in Mixed Use (former B-2), Corridor Business (former B-3) and Business Park (former B-4) to create pedestrian and bicycle-friendly environments. In addition, there are suggested standards for lot coverage and landscape area to align with off-street parking requirements and balance surface parking needs with landscaping (Attachment C). • Principal and Accessory Use Tables – HKGi has prepared the proposed principal and accessory use tables for non-residential zoning districts. The consultants have made recommendations on revisions for naming of uses and optional additional non-residential uses to consider, as well as those uses for discussion of transitioning to Permitted with Standards. The consultants are not proposing to remove Conditional Uses altogether, but this would allow the City to apply the same conditions and would remove some barriers to development (i.e. application review time and expense). o Permitted Use has few additional standards beyond the usual lot and site requirements such as lot size, yard setbacks, height, impervious coverage, etc. o Conditional Use requires a public hearing to ensure that any potential impacts to surrounding properties are mitigated through conditions that are tailored to the specific use and circumstances.
