Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 4, 2015 Page 12 noted Subareas 1, 3, and 4 had presented similarities for uses and areas for lack of support of some uses; with areas 2 and 7 seeming similar in scale and direction; and subareas 5 and 6 showing similar consistencies as well. Therefore, Mr. Lloyd advised that the ultimate recommendation was to group subareas as proposed by staff, or for staff to seek further direction for refining land uses based on tonight's discussion and identification of areas that could be regulated accordingly. City Council Discussion In an effort to keep discussion focused and provide clarity for that discussion and the listening audience, Mayor Roe suggested having the City Council discussion followed by public comment in response to that discussion. For the City Coun- cil's own discussion point of view, Mayor Roe suggested grouping subareas to- gether as a preliminary to that discussion as suggested by staff and within the boundaries of those subareas previously outlined. Councilmember McGehee expressed interest in adjusting the boundaries, while agreeing with Mayor Roe's suggested discussion focus in working through the list of uses on the table, with Mr. Lloyd adjusting the table as part of those discus- sions and tonight's actions. Councilmember Laliberte expressed appreciation for the preliminary discussion on grouping subareas, and sought the initial discussion on that grouping before considering individual uses. Mayor Roe stated his interest in making sure, if a use is removed from the table of uses, or not permitted in any or some areas, it be sufficiently recorded and cap- tured as "not permitted" for the record in the zoning code table. Councilmember McGehee concurred with Mayor Roe, opining it would be inter- esting to see the resulting uses remaining. Grouping Subareas Together(Attachment B) Mayor Roe reiterated staff's recommendation. Councilmember Laliberte stated her initial thought was to get some comments on what was now being called Subarea B on the two far ends of the development ar- ea which were similar. Councilmember Laliberte expressed particular concern about Subarea B (formerly Subarea 7) especially with significant existing traffic issues by Byerly's and Snelling Avenue. Councilmember Laliberte stated that she may be more open to high traffic generating uses in Subarea B (the former Subarea 2), but unless there was some defined resolution to traffic issues, would not be amenable to such uses proposed in Subarea B (formerly Subarea 7). Mayor Roe opined that subject lent itself to talking about Conditional Uses (CU) and conditions as a follow-up.
