Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 30, 2023 Page 14 lot sizes and widths for non-riparian lots go to the Code. One benefit of this ap- proach is that they were able to only focus on the riparian and not have to deal with all of the non-riparian elements,which would have normally been different lot size requirements. They were able to use the underlying, which is a positive because it makes things easier, even over time as adjustments are made. Mayor Roe asked whether,in moving some of this to Title 8,the City is potentially putting some zoning requirements outside of the Zoning Code. Ms. Trapp believed everything that is moving is stuff that staff was already admin- istering. It is not creating new stuff other than what was desired to be created new. Mayor Roe thought a reference might need to be included in the Zoning Code to potential buffer areas that are in Chapter 8. Mr. Jeff Miller, HKGi, presented Phase Two of the Zoning Code update including sustainability. He asked if there were any questions on the EV portion of his presen- tation. Councilmember Etten thought this was an important move forward for the City. He had talked with Ms. Gundlach about the definition of improved and that this talks about more than twenty percent of the parking area. He believed that was refer- enced now to another part of the City Code. He appreciated that because he knew it was a question brought up by the Planning Commission. Councilmember Etten asked if nonresidential will apply to all other uses, institu- tional, such as Roseville High School if the parking lot is redone by more than twenty percent. Mr. Miller stated with the way this is written, he believed it is so. Ms. Gundlach noted all residential and non-residential would include everything. Councilmember Etten explained when looking at the handicap portion, it states ac- cess to one and sometimes these come with potentially two sides to them. He won- dered if that is what is being talked about and not necessarily dedicated right in front of a single handicap stall but could be split into different areas. He also won- dered if it is a requirement to have one EV charger and it would be placed right in front of a handicap spot the majority of users would not be able to get to it. He stated there needed to be some thought about what that access means, how they operate, and how access works. Ms.Gundlach indicated that was not their intent as discussing this. It was originally discussed as the five- or ten-percent requirement. Then the handicap discussion started and they wanted to make sure there was access for handicap persons.
