Attachment B Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, October 7, 2020 Page 5 177 for whatever goes on around Dominium. She indicated she would like to sidestep 178 that and just have it contained on Cleveland Avenue. 179 180 Member Kruzel stated she would support the motion made considering there is 181 limited space that can be developed in that area and she thought the City could 182 hopefully contain what happens. 183 184 Member Sparby explained he supports this motion as well. Moving to Conditional 185 Use makes sense because it will still come to the Planning Commission to be sure it is 186 in line with the area and having it come back before the Planning Commission and 187 the City Council is a good check. He noted he would support the motion and thought 188 the other members on the Commission laid it out nicely as well. 189 190 Ayes: 5 191 Nays: 0 192 Abstain: 1 (McGehee) 193 Motion carried. 194 195 7.Project File 0037: 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update 196 197 a.Discussion Regarding Zoning Code Update 198 Community Development Director Janice Gundlach summarized the Zoning Code as 199 detailed in the staff report dated October 7, 2020. 200 201 Member McGehee indicated she added a few things under the main headings. She 202 reviewed the additions with the Commission. She suggested some sort of a checklist 203 under the sustainability section to be sure the City is getting from the development 204 some of the things that bring the City forward towards their carbon neutral goals that 205 have been set out. 206 207 Ms. Gundlach explained the City could do a checklist separate from the Zoning Code 208 update specifically. The items she is thinking of really relate to things that can be 209 built into the Zoning Code to really make it an incentive for developers who want to 210 develop in the City if doing sustainability items. The other point she would make is 211 that Public Works Engineering has gotten a Partners in Energy grant or an employee 212 plus creating an Energy Action Team and there may be some actionable items that 213 come out of that which would be incorporated into some of the Comprehensive Plan 214 goals. These are not necessarily related to the Zoning Code update specific. She 215 noted there are specific things or incentives that can be built into the Zoning Code to 216 encourage things that do not necessarily mean the City has to come to the table with 217 money. She indicated part of the purpose of putting together this scope of work is to 218 define for a consultant what the City wants out of them. 219 220 Member McGehee asked regarding Social Equity if staff was speaking about hiring 221 processes with contractors being used or City staff. 222
