Comprehensive Plan Update <br />Minutes – Wednesday, June 28, 2017 <br />Page 4 <br />136 <br />Mr. Lloyd advised it is an average and is more helpful when the math is <br />137 <br />expanded. <br />138 <br />139 <br />Ms. Perdu then directed discussion to mixed use districts. She reported this is a <br />140 <br />replacement of the business districts with a spectrum of mixed use districts and <br />141 <br />most were already allowed in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The majorchange is <br />142 <br />with Core Mixed Usewhere the possibility of residentialwas added. She <br />143 <br />explained the Neighborhood Center is considered Medium Density Residential, <br />144 <br />but would also allow business uses. The title is based on discussion around how <br />145 <br />these neighborhoods were located at key intersections with small scale commerce <br />146 <br />opportunities. <br />147 <br />148 <br />Member Bull suggested they removethe word “predominant”, and replace it with <br />149 <br />an actual percentage. He also inquired what the percentages represent. <br />150 <br />151 <br />Ms. Perdu explained when a percentage is displayed, it is a percentage of the land <br />152 <br />mass area. For example, with Neighborhood Center, the percentage range of 50 to <br />153 <br />75 percent is intended to look at the entire center and it does not need to occur on <br />154 <br />the same parcel. Theycan address how compliance is measured when they <br />155 <br />discuss the zoning code. <br />156 <br />157 <br />City Planner Paschkecommented it would be flushed out more in the zoning code <br />158 <br />when they determine how they are going to achieve compliance in building <br />159 <br />specific regulations to get to the specific percentage. <br />160 <br />161 <br />Member Kimble explained it is more challengingto do this in a mixed use district <br />162 <br />because individual parcels may come up for development by different owners and <br />163 <br />developers. <br />164 <br />165 <br />Mr. Paschke stated there are some things in the code that prescribe how a given <br />166 <br />area is to develop over the course of time. It is up to the planners on staff to make <br />167 <br />sure they are achieving all of the specific requirements of the zoning district in <br />168 <br />compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. With regard to multi-level buildings, <br />169 <br />the zoning ordinance would make it a square footage or floor area ratio versus just <br />170 <br />a footprint to make sure the goals are achieved. <br />171 <br />172 <br />Ms. Perdu advised at this point, the intent is to be general and save the detail <br />173 <br />questions for the zoning revisions. <br />174 <br />175 <br />Member Gitzen commented a master plan should be included in all mixed use <br />176 <br />district requirements. <br />177 <br />178 <br />Member Kimble referred to Neighborhood Center and pointed out the description <br />179 <br />does not show that it “requires” a predominant mix of use. Also, with the <br />180 <br />subdivision language changes, she remembers they removed the definition of <br />181 <br />streets, yet she sees them included in Neighborhood Center, and Corridor Mixed <br />182 <br /> <br />
