Attachment B Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, October 7, 2020 Page 6 223 Ms. Gundlach indicated this is related to the Zoning Code and the Zoning Code is 224 generally related land use. There are some things out there that say Zoning originally 225 was invented to provide racial inequities across their built landscape. This is really 226 broad and what staff is talking about is asking consultants to come back to them with 227 some things that are in the Code right now or may not be in the City Code that could 228 address some of the racial inequities. 229 230 Member McGehee thought if the City was going to go forward with what she thought 231 some of the intent was in the Comprehensive Plan, large lot size is a big issue, 232 increased density is an issue but overall the City wants to have a variety of options. 233 In terms of the environment, the City could do more things with incentivizing native 234 plantings, etc. Things need to be done with trees as well. She also thought people are 235 expecting more walkability with shaded pathways. She thought the City should look 236 at and review parking lots. She also thought the City should make a comparable push 237 to get in some clean, small light manufacturing and small business so that those 238 people have a place to work other than Wal-Mart and Panda Express. 239 240 Chair Gitzen thought everything brought up was important to discuss. He thought 241 staff was asking the Commission to figure out what is missing on these tables right 242 now. 243 244 Ms. Gundlach indicated staff did a pretty good job with section one because the 245 Comp. Plan has a nice table at the end of the land use section that outlines what the 246 current zoning districts are and what needs to change and what parcels do not have 247 the right zoning based on the future land use plan. The other point is, if there is 248 something in section two that the Commission has discovered since being on the 249 Planning Commission please let staff know that as well. She noted the items in 250 Section two comes from an ongoing list the Council keeps and goes through after the 251 end of certain Council meetings. 252 253 Member Pribyl thought one thing that came up in a previous meeting was parking 254 requirements, especially with affordable senior housing in the City. 255 256 Chair Gitzen thought staff did a good job with putting this together. 257 258 Ms. Gundlach asked the Commission to review this information and get her possible th 259 additions or changes before October 19 so she can include it for the Council review. 260 261 8.Adjourn 262 263 MOTION 264 Member Pribyl, seconded by Member Kruzel, to adjourn the meeting at 7:40 265 p.m. 266 267 Ayes: 6 268 Nays: 0 269 Motion carried.
