ATTACHMENT F Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, July 6, 2022 Page 7 Member Pribyl agreed and noted she does not necessarily like the layout of this but also do not feel that having twinhomes in the neighborhood with large lots ruins the character of the neighborhood automatically. Ayes: 4 ayes Nays: 1 nay (McGehee) Motion carried. 7.Other Business a. Discuss Phase Two Zoning Code Update AmendmentsDiscuss Phase Two Zoning Code Update Amendments Mr. Jeff Miller of HKGi,summarized the information as detailed in the staff report dated July 6, 2022. She asked for feedback regarding the four identified areas for sustainability requirements. Mr. Miller made a presentation on Phase Two of the Zoning Code Update. Staff and the Commission discussed EV charging station requirements for different size businesses. Ms. Gundlach indicated staff is looking for specific feedback from the Commission. Staff is looking to see if the Commission is ok with the EV ready versus the EV charging, the percentage and the overall number of parking that should trigger that requirement. Chair Kimble indicated given this is new she would err on the conservative side and say minimum of thirty parking stalls versus twenty and include if it is burdensome. The City can always see how it goes and increase this if needed rather than imposing something that is a little stricter. Member Pribyl agreed. She noted there are more and more electric vehicles out there so there will be more demand from residents living in multi-family or people shopping looking for EV charging stations. Getting something in the Zoning Code is helpful and important and making this intermediate step makes sense. Member Bjorum thought it was also ok to say there needs to be some on day one but to have additional down the road may be needed. He has found that some developers will go more than EV ready just because they know it is coming down the line and forcing the minimum really tells them to just do the whole setup. He knew that with a lot of these things it demands a much bigger electrical feed to do these projects when done but he thought that was anticipated on the front end and a lot less damaging to anybody doing development work. He thought having the split is probably very important. Member Pribyl indicated for new construction it is not as much as a cost and easier to get them ready and to have electric service.
