centers. 225 00:12:25,345 --> 00:12:27,380 This was a text amendment 226 00:12:27,380 --> 00:12:30,380 initiated by the public goodwill 227 00:12:30,617 --> 00:12:33,153 of kentucky is the applicant and 228 00:12:33,153 --> 00:12:35,589 the intent behind this text 229 00:12:35,589 --> 00:12:37,958 amendment was to create a 230 00:12:37,958 --> 00:12:39,760 definition for attended donation 231 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,327 centers and allow them in 232 00:12:40,327 --> 00:12:42,327 commercial zones. 233 00:12:42,629 --> 00:12:44,698 Good will is the applicant. 234 00:12:44,698 --> 00:12:45,833 The business model includes a 235 00:12:45,833 --> 00:12:48,135 retail component with their 236 00:12:48,135 --> 00:12:50,504 stores where they sell donated 237 00:12:50,504 --> 00:12:51,772 items of clothing and household 238 00:12:51,772 --> 00:12:54,274 goods they have the facilities 239 00:12:54,274 --> 00:12:55,242 for on sight donations sorting 240 00:12:55,242 --> 00:12:57,242 and storage. 241 00:12:57,344 --> 00:13:00,344 The applicant is seeking to 242 00:13:00,647 --> 00:13:02,416 create this definition to give 243 00:13:02,416 --> 00:13:03,117 them additional flexibility how 244 00:13:03,117 --> 00:13:05,117 they operate. 245 00:13:05,986 --> 00:13:08,986 They want to operate without 246 00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:10,491 resale sales, areas just for 247 00:13:10,491 --> 00:13:12,891 donations, drop-off and sorting 248 00:13:13,328 --> 00:13:15,362 without the retail component. 249 00:13:15,362 --> 00:13:17,331 Here is a picture of one of the 250 00:13:17,331 --> 00:13:18,633 existing locations within 251 00:13:18,633 --> 00:13:20,633 lexington. 252 00:13:20,869 --> 00:13:23,738 Once again, they are prone to 253 00:13:23,738 --> 00:13:25,907 kind of reutilizing existing 254 00:13:25,907 --> 00:13:28,777 thes but without a retail focus. 255 00:13:28,777 --> 00:13:31,579 There is an area for drop-off an 256 00:13:31,579 --> 00:13:33,314 area for pick up and area to 257 00:13:33,314 --> 00:13:35,714 acomplicate the truck traffic 258 00:13:38,319 --> 00:13:39,688 the applicant b-3, b-4, and 259 00:13:39,688 --> 00:13:41,322 pud-3 as principle uses and 260 00:13:41,322 --> 00:13:43,692 would like the flexibility to 261 00:13:43,692 --> 00:13:46,610 use them as a conditional use in 262 00:13:46,610 --> 00:13:49,364 the b-1 zone when they are 263 00:13:49,364 --> 00:13:51,233 adjacent to an arterial roadway. 264 00:13:51,233 --> 00:13:54,233 Staff looked at specifically how 265 00:13:54,670 --> 00:13:57,405 this would impact the b-1 zone 266 00:13:57,405 --> 00:13:58,974 where the intent is to meet the 267 00:13:58,974 --> 00:14:00,876 needs of the communities. 268 00:14:00,876 --> 00:14:03,513 Staff felt without a residential 269 00:14:03,513 --> 00:14:04,460 component that last piece was 270 00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:05,981 not appropriate. 271 00:14:05,981 --> 00:14:08,350 But finding that the use would 272 00:14:08,350 --> 00:14:09,918 be appropriate in other more 273 00:14:09,918 --> 00:14:12,318 intense commercial zones that 274 00:14:12,521 --> 00:14:14,523 were not so tailored to 275 00:14:14,523 --> 00:14:16,859 accommodate once again your 276 00:14:16,859 --> 00:14:18,859 day-to-day shopping uses. 277 00:14:19,528 --> 00:14:20,662 The staff largely adopted the 278 00:14:20,662 --> 00:14:22,531 applicant's definition, however 279 00:14:22,531 --> 00:14:24,333 we found that the conditional 280 00:14:24,333 --> 00:14:26,735 use and utilizing this in the 281 00:14:26,735 --> 00:14:28,604 b-1 is not appropriate. 282 00:14:28,604 --> 00:14:30,139 This would allow goodwill and 283 00:14:30,139 --> 00:14:31,974 institutions to have the normal 284 00:14:31,974 --> 00:14:33,343 retail locations with the 285 00:14:33,343 --> 00:14:35,743 drop-off component but having 286 00:14:36,145 --> 00:14:38,130 the facilities where it was only 287 00:14:38,130 --> 00:14:38,281 dropping off below indicated 288 00:14:38,281 --> 00:14:40,281 elsewhere. 289 00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:42,950 Staff is recommending approval 290 00:14:43,619 --> 00:14:44,720 of the staff alternative text 291 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,120 giving the nonprofit businesses 292 00:14:47,356 --> 00:14:48,958 and organizations additional 293 00:14:48,958 --> 00:14:51,358 flexibility but retaining that 294 00:14:51,795 --> 00:14:52,962 neighborhood zones for active 295 00:14:52,962 --> 00:14:55,362 neighborhood business type uses. 296 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,990 And with that I will be happy to 297 00:14:57,990 --> 00:14:58,902 entertain any questions you have 298 00:14:58,902 --> 00:15:01,504 of staff at this time. 299 00:15:01,504 --> 00:15:04,441 >> do we have any questions for 300

from us today. 311 00:15:46,617 --> 00:15:49,170 Background with folks unfamiliar 312 00:15:54,910 --> 00:15:54,692 with goodwill kentucky, it is a 313 00:15:54,692 --> 00:15:55,759 103-year-old nonprofit 314 00:15:55,759 --> 00:15:57,759 headquartered in kentucky. 315 00:15:57,895 --> 00:16:00,465 Our board our C.E.O. All our 316 00:16:00,465 --> 00:16:02,660 folks are here and the donations 317 00:16:02,660 --> 00:16:03,701 go back into communities to help 318 00:16:03,701 --> 00:16:06,337 us achieve our mission getting 319 00:16:06,337 --> 00:16:09,273 more folks back to employment. 320 00:16:09,273 --> 00:16:11,810 The number is outdated closer to 321 00:16:11,810 --> 00:16:13,444 4,000 kentuckians back into the 322 00:16:13,444 --> 00:16:15,413 workforce every year and we do 323 00:16:15,413 --> 00:16:17,813 that through our 70 retail 324 00:16:18,616 --> 00:16:20,510 stores we operate and 12 325 00:16:20,510 --> 00:16:20,952 opportunity centers our career 326 00:16:20,952 --> 00:16:22,952 services arm. 327 00:16:23,521 --> 00:16:25,324 However in order to fund those 328 00:16:25,324 --> 00:16:26,491 programs we rely on the 329 00:16:26,491 --> 00:16:28,793 donations of citizens from 330 00:16:28,793 --> 00:16:30,661 across the commonwealth and they 331 00:16:30,661 --> 00:16:31,262 need as many options as 332 00:16:31,262 --> 00:16:33,262 possible. 333 00:16:34,232 --> 00:16:36,568 The research shows donation 334 00:16:36,568 --> 00:16:39,204 frequency is key to convenience 335 00:16:39,204 --> 00:16:41,206 and it's likely why you see in 336 00:16:41,206 --> 00:16:43,975 places the bins started to 337 00:16:43,975 --> 00:16:45,710 pop-up because folks in their 338 00:16:45,710 --> 00:16:48,647 own charity want to find ways to 339 00:16:48,647 --> 00:16:48,847 help but it is they have busy 340 00:16:48,847 --> 00:16:50,847 lives. 341 00:16:52,384 --> 00:16:54,219 We proposed this attended 342 00:16:54,219 --> 00:16:56,355 donation center amendment as 343 00:16:56,355 --> 00:16:58,823 staff so shared to provide 344 00:16:58,823 --> 00:16:59,910 flexibility to us to get the 345 00:16:59,910 --> 00:17:01,910 donations. 346 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,960 And what do the donations do? 347 00:17:04,963 --> 00:17:06,599 They fund 127 million a year in 348 00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:08,330 wages in kentucky for our 349 00:17:08,330 --> 00:17:10,330 program staff. 350 00:17:12,672 --> 00:17:14,574 Of which 81% meet goodwill's 351 00:17:14,574 --> 00:17:16,974 mission of being disconnected 352 00:17:17,510 --> 00:17:19,111 from the workforce from systemic 353 00:17:19,111 --> 00:17:21,111 poverty, incarceration, recovery 354 00:17:22,482 --> 00:17:24,550 I broke it out about 19 million 355 00:17:24,550 --> 00:17:27,550 per year in central kentucky. 356 00:17:29,321 --> 00:17:31,657 And our opportunity center has 357 00:17:31,657 --> 00:17:33,159 placed 247 people into 358 00:17:33,159 --> 00:17:35,228 employment outside of our 359 00:17:35,228 --> 00:17:38,228 organization at an average wage 360 00:17:38,865 --> 00:17:40,865 of $15.07 an hour. 361 00:17:41,601 --> 00:17:44,670 The other part is we divert 50 362 00:17:44,670 --> 00:17:46,730 million pounds of waste from 363 00:17:46,730 --> 00:17:47,274 landfills through the donation 364 00:17:47,274 --> 00:17:49,674 centers and our stores. 365 00:17:51,611 --> 00:17:53,947 Why are we here what is an adc? 366 00:17:53,947 --> 00:17:55,682 We operate retail stores across 367 00:17:55,682 --> 00:17:57,250 the community. 368 00:17:57,250 --> 00:17:58,217 But sometimes there's 369 00:17:58,217 --> 00:18:00,387 opportunities before we're able 370 00:18:00,387 --> 00:18:02,789 to open a store, or in a 371 00:18:02,789 --> 00:18:05,325 facility that MAY not be a 372 00:18:05,325 --> 00:18:07,561 suitable use for a store, too 373 00:18:07,561 --> 00:18:09,630 small square-footage we seek to 374 00:18:09,630 --> 00:18:09,629 operate attended donation 375 00:18:09,629 --> 00:18:11,629 centers. 376 00:18:12,299 --> 00:18:14,501 We did start one in lexington 377 00:18:14,501 --> 00:18:16,570 working to develop our cardinal 378 00:18:16,570 --> 00:18:17,337 valley store and that is how 379 00:18:17,337 --> 00:18:19,337 this got started. 380 00:18:19,739 --> 00:18:21,341 When we understood that the 381 00:18:21,341 --> 00:18:23,900 planning amendment the zoning 382 00:18:23,900 --> 00:18:26,900 amendments did not allow for 383 00:18:26,847 --> 00:18:28,820 that use we quickly closed that 384 00:18:28,820 --> 00:18:30,483 facility and then continued on 385 00:18:30,483 --> 00:18:32,119 our process of building out that 386 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,519 cardinal valley store to 387 00:18:34,621 --> 00:18:36,621 accommodate the community. 388 00:18:36,657 --> 00:18:39,600 As staff mentioned these are 389 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,295 staffed locations these are not 390 00:18:41,295 --> 00:18:42,663 unattended centers but attended 391 00:18:42,663 --> 00:18:45,299 by staff, four to five 392 00:18:45,299 --> 00:18:47,299 individuals taking donations, 393 00:18:47,335 --> 00:18:49,137 sorting, cataloging and we do 394 00:18:49,137 --> 00:18:52,137 take those to other stores 395 00:18:52,506 --> 00:18:54,642 within the community for resale. 396 00:18:54,642 --> 00:18:56,430 They are on top of being 397 00:18:56,430 --> 00:18:58,679 attended we also do have staff 398 00:18:58,679 --> 00:19:00,915 come in when we get donations 399 00:19:00,915 --> 00:19:03,840 afterhours to go ahead and take 400 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:04,552 those donations and prevent 401 00:19:04,552 --> 00:19:06,587 clutter from building up. 402 00:19:06,587 --> 00:19:09,324 I also mentioned they MAY not 403 00:19:09,324 --> 00:19:11,859 fit a retail use because 404 00:19:11,859 --> 00:19:13,728 sometimes we seek reuse of 405 00:19:13,728 --> 00:19:15,728 facilities perhaps pharmacies, 406 00:19:16,970 --> 00:19:18,100 banks, other smaller locations 407 00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:20,100 that wouldn't support a retail 408 00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:22,137 store but have the existing 409 00:19:22,137 --> 00:19:24,537 nfrastructure to support an 410 00:19:24,605 --> 00:19:25,607 attended donation facility. 411 00:19:25,607 --> 00:19:28,310 Staff included photos but here 412 00:19:28,310 --> 00:19:30,812 is a photo of one of our 413 00:19:30,812 --> 00:19:33,212 facilities here in lexington. 414 00:19:33,681 --> 00:19:35,984 You can see very much look like 415 00:19:35,984 --> 00:19:37,419 a retail stores we take pride in 416 00:19:37,419 --> 00:19:38,987 providing a place that people 417 00:19:38,987 --> 00:19:40,122 want to work and want to 418 00:19:40,122 --> 00:19:42,122 support. 419 00:19:43,325 --> 00:19:45,725 These are nice facilities. 420 00:19:47,529 --> 00:19:47,730 This is a nice facility at 421 00:19:47,730 --> 00:19:49,730 night. 422 00:19:50,399 --> 00:19:52,501 What it isn't, they are not 423 00:19:52,501 --> 00:19:54,669 donation begin bins these are 424 00:19:54,669 --> 00:19:57,390 staff sites you MAY have seen 425 00:19:57,390 --> 00:19:58,641 some of these in the community 426 00:19:58,641 --> 00:20:01,410 operated by other folks. 427 00:20:04,980 --> 00:20:07,816 These are not goodwills' bins.

reliance on personal vehicles. 581 00:27:25,329 --> 00:27:26,798 Allowing in these zones the 582 00:27:26,798 --> 00:27:29,798 drop-off and processing of goods 583 00:27:30,134 --> 00:27:31,569 not offered for sale at this 584 00:27:31,569 --> 00:27:33,337 site, is scarcely an 585 00:27:33,337 --> 00:27:34,806 encouragement to use this 586 00:27:34,806 --> 00:27:36,707 valuable land at kilo 587 00:27:36,707 --> 00:27:38,810 indications to best meet 588 00:27:38,810 --> 00:27:40,810 community needs. 589 00:27:41,546 --> 00:27:44,546 These are three zones centrally 590 00:27:44,982 --> 00:27:45,617 cited to serve the community's 591 00:27:45,617 --> 00:27:47,617 daily needs. 592 00:27:47,985 --> 00:27:49,421 The b-1 is a neighborhood 593 00:27:49,421 --> 00:27:51,623 business zone and neighborhood 594 00:27:51,623 --> 00:27:53,623 turning focused serving. 595 00:27:54,693 --> 00:27:56,627 The b-3 corridor runs right 596 00:27:56,627 --> 00:28:00,227 along with buses and so forth. 597 00:28:00,265 --> 00:28:03,340 So that people can make sure 598 00:28:03,340 --> 00:28:05,700 daily errands there and the b-6 599 00:28:05,700 --> 00:28:06,404 p commercial center you go to

00:28:18,281 eeryone else does. 607 00:28:19,384 --> 00:28:20,986 I believe the drive-thru or 608 00:28:20,986 --> 00:28:22,654 drive-up should be recognized as 609 00:28:22,654 --> 00:28:24,654 a

that it's a 613 00:28:31,930 --> 00:28:34,199 drive-up or a drive-thru and if 614 00:28:34,199 --> 00:28:37,336 that is to be a part of it it 615 00:28:37,336 --> 00:28:37,603 should be separately

--> 00:28:52,683 are not. 623 00:28:52,985 --> 00:28:54,287 I don't know why it should be 624 00:28:54,287 --> 00:28:57,287 restricted to nonprofits if it's 625 00:28:58,525 --> 00:29:00,360 to be such a use. 626 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,463 Others don't want or need it 627 00:29:03,463 --> 00:29:05,231 they want people to donate, 628 00:29:05,231 --> 00:29:06,433 cosign and buy all in one

approve this you are 633 00:29:14,807 --> 00:29:17,344 approving the option to have a 634 00:29:17,344 --> 00:29:19,579 place to drop-off goods for 635 00:29:19,579 --> 00:29:19,846 donation, where you can't do any 636 00:29:19,846 --> 00:29:21,846 shopping. 637 00:29:22,515 --> 00:29:26,115 There are no goods or services 638 00:29:26,620 --> 00:29:27,553 offered to you beyond relief of 639

00:29:40,764 said it would employ two people 643 00:29:40,968 --> 00:29:42,803 during its hours of operation. 644 00:29:42,803 --> 00:29:43,403 Not much for these valuable 645 00:29:43,403 --> 00:29:45,403 zones. 646 00:29:45,706 --> 00:29:47,874 So I would encourage that you 647 00:29:47,874 --> 00:29:51,244 deny it in fact you could put 648 00:29:51,244 --> 00:29:53,347 the b-4 into the very next zota 649 00:29:53,347 --> 00:29:55,149 it's been well reviewed and I 650 00:29:55,149 --> 00:29:55,849 think it would be a welcome use 651 00:29:55,849 --> 00:29:56,384 in the b-4. 652 00:29:56,384 --> 00:29:58,850 Thank you. 653 00:29:58,850 --> 00:29:58,718 >> thank you. 654 00:29:58,718 --> 00:30:00,654 All right. 655 00:30:00,654 --> 00:30:04,254 Do we have any other public 656 00:30:04,292 --> 00:30:06,494 comment on this zota? 657 00:30:06,494 --> 00:30:09,494 Not hearing any, applicant would 658 00:30:16,704 --> 00:30:19,104 you like to respond? 659 00:30:19,540 --> 00:30:21,342 >> I'll respond briefly and say 660 00:30:21,342 --> 00:30:22,910 we appreciate working with the 661 00:30:22,910 --> 00:30:23,811 planning commission staff and 662 00:30:23,811 --> 00:30:25,811 their thoughtful consideration 663 00:30:26,714 --> 00:30:29,283 of this zota and as my colleague 664 00:30:29,283 --> 00:30:31,219 said are amenable to the changes 665 00:30:31,219 --> 00:30:33,870 the staff have returned. 666 00:30:33,870 --> 00:30:35,289 I believe some of the 667 00:30:35,289 --> 00:30:36,691 information in this attached 668 00:30:36,691 --> 00:30:38,691 document regarding our 669 00:30:39,727 --> 00:30:42,130 intentions for the sites is 670 00:30:42,130 --> 00:30:42,530 misunderstanding as I directed 671 00:30:42,530 --> 00:30:43,698 earlier. 672 00:30:43,698 --> 00:30:46,268 We look for opportunities to 673 00:30:46,268 --> 00:30:47,769 locate stores they do help fund 674 00:30:47,769 --> 00:30:49,671 fuel the mission but where 675 00:30:49,671 --> 00:30:51,206 there's opportunities for 676 00:30:51,206 --> 00:30:53,241 adaptive reuse and the market 677 00:30:53,241 --> 00:30:55,610 supports it, is the only place 678 00:30:55,610 --> 00:30:56,944 we would see these adc's. 679 00:30:56,944 --> 00:30:58,790 I appreciate the staff's 680 00:30:58,790 --> 00:31:00,140 consideration and urge you all 681 00:31:00,140 --> 00:31:01,216 to approve it as recommended. 682 00:31:01,216 --> 00:31:03,216 >> thank you. 683 00:31:03,852 --> 00:31:06,222 >> I will add that the b-3 zone 684 00:31:06,222 --> 00:31:07,289 is specifically for a major 685 00:31:07,289 --> 00:31:09,157 connector roadway that serves 686 00:31:09,157 --> 00:31:10,825 the need of the broader 687 00:31:10,825 --> 00:31:13,825 lexington community and that is 688 00:31:14,830 --> 00:31:16,131 what the adc is intended to do. 689 00:31:16,131 --> 00:31:18,131 >> okay. 690 00:31:19,435 --> 00:31:20,369 >> I have a question for you 691 00:31:20,369 --> 00:31:22,370 applicant. 692 00:31:22,370 --> 00:31:24,339 Let's just go through the 693 00:31:24,339 --> 00:31:25,775 process of your site selection 694 00:31:25,775 --> 00:31:27,776 we have not seen you come 695 00:31:27,776 --> 00:31:30,776 through with a development plan 696 00:31:31,447 --> 00:31:31,714 to build a new construction 697 00:31:31,714 --> 00:31:33,714 facility. 698 00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:37,860 So that leads me to infer that 699 00:31:37,860 --> 00:31:39,989 what you are doing is looking at 700 00:31:39,989 --> 00:31:42,258 property that is for lease, for 701 00:31:42,258 --> 00:31:44,693 sale, currently vacant that you 702 00:31:44,693 --> 00:31:46,262 think you can provide a public 703 00:31:46,262 --> 00:31:46,829 good with by running your 704 00:31:46,829 --> 00:31:48,698 business. 705 00:31:48,698 --> 00:31:49,320 Am I correct in that 706 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,320 understanding? 707 00:31:53,335 --> 00:31:54,804 Or are you also -- 708 00:31:54,804 --> 00:31:56,772 let me back up. 709 00:31:56,772 --> 00:31:59,800 I appreciate your comment when 710 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,511 you use the term adaptive reuse. 711 00:32:01,511 --> 00:32:03,380 That has a different term for us 712 00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:06,282 in planning and zoning but that 713 00:32:06,282 --> 00:32:08,785 is what we're doing you all are 714 00:32:08,785 --> 00:32:10,653 taking vacant property and 715 00:32:10,653 --> 00:32:12,540 putting together a good use for 716 00:32:12,540 --> 00:32:12,956 our community. 717 00:32:12,956 --> 00:32:15,225 I commend you for that. 718 00:32:15,225 --> 00:32:17,225 >> thank you, sir. 719 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,600 >> yes. 720 00:32:20,530 --> 00:32:22,530 >> thank you. 721 00:32:22,699 --> 00:32:24,368 However, once you have a zone 722 00:32:24,368 --> 00:32:26,970 and text amendment it applies 723 00:32:26,970 --> 00:32:30,974 not just to you but to every 724 00:32:30,974 --> 00:32:33,343 other nonprofit as is stated in 725 00:32:33,343 --> 00:32:35,343 the text amendment. 726 00:32:36,513 --> 00:32:39,817 So it's a conundrum because you 727 00:32:39,817 --> 00:32:42,520 have come before us with your 728 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:43,954 goodwill, all puns intended but 729 00:32:43,954 --> 00:32:46,954 we don't have the same 730 00:32:47,757 --> 00:32:50,157 reassurance that every other 731 00:32:51,695 --> 00:32:51,928 entity might go forth in that 732 00:32:51,928 --> 00:32:53,928 manner. 733 00:32:55,432 --> 00:32:57,435 That's my concern might stem 734 00:32:57,435 --> 00:32:59,435 from. 735 00:32:59,603 --> 00:33:01,372 >> if I can address that. 736 00:33:01,372 --> 00:33:04,175 That is specifically why the 737 00:33:04,175 --> 00:33:05,977 definition is so narrowly 738 00:33:05,977 --> 00:33:08,879 tailored why we limited it and 739 00:33:08,879 --> 00:33:10,248 worked with staff to limit it to 740 00:33:10,248 --> 00:33:11,782 nonprofit organizations with 741 00:33:11,782 --> 00:33:14,782 very specific items that are 742 00:33:15,219 --> 00:33:17,322 similar to what a goodwill 743 00:33:17,322 --> 00:33:18,490 salvation army or habitat in our 744 00:33:18,490 --> 00:33:20,825 community do because we think 745 00:33:20,825 --> 00:33:23,160 they are all good partners they 746 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,630 would be the ones eligible and 747 00:33:26,630 --> 00:33:27,331 if they wanted to use an adc 748 00:33:27,331 --> 00:33:29,731 model to utilize it. 749 00:33:30,234 --> 00:33:32,603 And that is also why it would 750 00:33:32,603 --> 00:33:34,272 require attended so it could not 751 00:33:34,272 --> 00:33:36,441 become a drop-off point it's 752 00:33:36,441 --> 00:33:39,441 required to have attendants and 753 00:33:39,677 --> 00:33:42,213 each site we have two employees 754 00:33:42,213 --> 00:33:45,117 at any given time they would 755 00:33:45,117 --> 00:33:46,285 staff four to six employees 756 00:33:46,285 --> 00:33:48,285 total per site. 757 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,320 >> commissioner? 758 00:33:51,589 --> 00:33:51,990 >> any other questions for the 759 00:33:51,990 --> 00:33:53,990 applicant? 760 00:33:54,993 --> 00:33:56,993 Thank you. 761 00:33:57,329 --> 00:33:59,297 Does staff have any comment? 762 00:33:59,297 --> 00:34:01,297 >> no additional comment. 763 00:34:05,370 --> 00:34:06,205 >> so back to the commission. 764 00:34:06,205 --> 00:34:07,906 Okay. 765 00:34:07,906 --> 00:34:10,609 You all can be seated. 766 00:34:10,609 --> 00:34:13,346 >> can one of you any of you all 767 00:34:13,346 --> 00:34:15,280 of you please address the 768 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,250 concern about how this might 769 00:34:18,250 --> 00:34:20,650 impact that stretch of 770 00:34:20,786 --> 00:34:23,655 versailles road where there are 771 00:34:23,655 --> 00:34:26,759 other businesses in a b-3 that 772 00:34:26,759 --> 00:34:28,694 are zoned b-3 but which 773 00:34:28,694 --> 00:34:29,862 accommodate multiple modes of 774 00:34:29,862 --> 00:34:32,262 travel not just vehicles? 775 00:34:32,465 --> 00:34:35,368 And what you think about that. 776 00:34:35,368 --> 00:34:37,768 Have you considered that 777 00:34:39,472 --> 00:34:40,940 removing b-3 from areas where 778 00:34:40,940 --> 00:34:42,141 these attended donation centers 779 00:34:42,141 --> 00:34:44,141 could occur? 780 00:34:44,343 --> 00:34:46,713 >> I guess I would say as sort 781 00:34:46,713 --> 00:34:49,810 of a broader blanket statement 782 00:34:49,810 --> 00:34:51,117 we have b-3 that it's located on 783 00:34:51,117 --> 00:34:53,185 the corridor depending what part 784 00:34:53,185 --> 00:34:55,688 of the community they maybe in, 785 00:34:55,688 --> 00:34:58,558 it maybe closer to residential, 786 00:34:58,558 --> 00:35:00,560 so b-3 looks a variety of ways 787 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:00,827 as you look across the 788 00:35:00,827 --> 00:35:02,328 community. 789 00:35:02,328 --> 00:35:04,564 And so our comfort with this 790 00:35:04,564 --> 00:35:06,533 being in the b-3 stemmed from 791 00:35:06,533 --> 00:35:08,768 the other principally permitted 792 00:35:08,768 --> 00:35:10,203 uses in the zone the 793 00:35:10,203 --> 00:35:10,437 similarities how they could 794 00:35:10,437 --> 00:35:12,437 operate. 795 00:35:12,705 --> 00:35:13,774 So that was the lens that staff 796 00:35:13,774 --> 00:35:15,774 looked at. 797 00:35:15,808 --> 00:35:17,343 It doesn't -- 798 00:35:17,343 --> 00:35:19,279 we are not looking at a 799 00:35:19,279 --> 00:35:20,948 particular zone change at a 800 00:35:20,948 --> 00:35:22,449 particular location but our 801 00:35:22,449 --> 00:35:24,685 hesitancy for the b-1 stemmed 802 00:35:24,685 --> 00:35:26,420 from the fact it wasn't meeting 803 00:35:26,420 --> 00:35:28,488 the intent of the local shopping 804 00:35:28,488 --> 00:35:31,891 but the b-3 you are starting to 805 00:35:31,891 --> 00:35:34,561 look at things more specialized 806 00:35:34,561 --> 00:35:36,664 a by right permitted use maybe a 807 00:35:36,664 --> 00:35:39,300 four wheeler shop not something 808 00:35:39,300 --> 00:35:41,936 most of us would use but you are 809 00:35:41,936 --> 00:35:43,104 looking at a roadway that can 810 00:35:43,104 --> 00:35:45,504 accommodate the larger traffic 811 00:35:45,805 --> 00:35:47,775 and more standardized approach 812 00:35:47,775 --> 00:35:50,175 to drive-thrus being permitted 813 00:35:52,246 --> 00:35:54,615 that is the lens we looked at 814 00:35:54,615 --> 00:35:56,817 comparing to what is allowed in 815 00:35:56,817 --> 00:35:59,120 the zone and you are correct in 816 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,689 stating that brought up this 817 00:36:01,689 --> 00:36:03,560 doesn't apply just to goodwill 818 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,193 but what we were seeing in 819 00:36:05,193 --> 00:36:07,395 general with the guardrails put 820 00:36:07,395 --> 00:36:09,530 in plates specifying they did 821 00:36:09,530 --> 00:36:11,699 have to be actively employed it 822 00:36:11,699 --> 00:36:14,435 wasn't a drop-off led staff to 823 00:36:14,435 --> 00:36:15,202 be comfortable with the zoning 824 00:36:15,202 --> 00:36:17,602 framework we see here. 825 00:36:17,839 --> 00:36:19,839 >> thank you. 826 00:36:19,940 --> 00:36:22,340 >> anybody else have any 827 00:36:23,478 --> 00:36:25,478 comments, questions? 828 00:36:29,284 --> 00:36:31,284 All

perspective some of the 842 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,915 questions have been raised were 843 00:37:00,915 --> 00:37:02,684 some that I had but the staff 844 00:37:02,684 --> 00:37:04,684 has

862 00:38:44,621 --> 00:38:46,890 team in the division of planning 863 00:38:46,890 --> 00:38:50,490 and this afternoon I'm here to 864 00:38:51,610 --> 00:38:53,640 present to you pln-zota, 26-9 865 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,464 update to industrial zones.% 866 00:38:56,534 --> 00:38:59,437 and we'll go ahead and dive in. 867 00:38:59,437 --> 00:39:01,739 So as you all are very familiar 868 00:39:01,739 --> 00:39:03,741 by this point, the blue sky 869 00:39:03,741 --> 00:39:05,242 small area plan was passed 870 00:39:05,242 --> 00:39:07,311 unanimously by the planning 871 00:39:07,311 --> 00:39:08,713 commission on JUNE 11th this 872 00:39:08,713 --> 00:39:11,713 summer and that year long 873 00:39:12,150 --> 00:39:13,351 process looked at the blue sky 874 00:39:13,351 --> 00:39:14,152 activity center off athens 875 00:39:14,152 --> 00:39:16,152 boonesboro road. 876 00:39:16,153 --> 00:39:17,956 And allowed the city to take a 877 00:39:17,956 --> 00:39:20,691 dive at the physical conditions 878 00:39:20,691 --> 00:39:23,728 and needs of the industrial area 879 00:39:23,728 --> 00:39:25,831 and how we could help those 880 00:39:25,831 --> 00:39:27,831 businesses thrive long-term. 881 00:39:27,865 --> 00:39:29,367 Blue sky works as it was 882 00:39:29,367 --> 00:39:31,767 otherwise known also recommended 883 00:39:32,770 --> 00:39:33,739 updates to our industrial and 884 00:39:33,739 --> 00:39:34,939 manufacturing zones. 885 00:39:34,939 --> 00:39:37,342 Mainly because we have not 886 00:39:37,342 --> 00:39:39,277 touched them or updated them 887 00:39:39,277 --> 00:39:41,277 significantly since 1983. 888 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:42,681 When they were created and 889 00:39:42,681 --> 00:39:44,681 passed. 890 00:39:44,816 --> 00:39:47,216 The proposed regulation updates 891 00:39:47,385 --> 00:39:49,621 were in chapter 9 of the small 892 00:39:49,621 --> 00:39:51,621 area plan. 893 00:39:52,791 --> 00:39:54,559 And our plan staff's plan was to 894 00:39:54,559 --> 00:39:55,461 implement them through a zoning 895 00:39:55,461 --> 00:39:57,461 ordinance text amendment 896 00:39:57,696 --> 00:39:58,497 following the adoption of that 897 00:39:58,497 --> 00:40:00,465 small area plan. 898 00:40:00,465 --> 00:40:00,999 Staff believed that the 899 00:40:00,999 --> 00:40:02,999 recommended changes both 900 00:40:03,468 --> 00:40:06,639 implement the vision of blue sky 901 00:40:06,639 --> 00:40:07,773 works and also have citywide 902 00:40:07,773 --> 00:40:09,841 benefits for our industrial 903 00:40:09,841 --> 00:40:11,410 zones throughout lexington 904 00:40:11,410 --> 00:40:12,712 fayette county. 905 00:40:12,712 --> 00:40:15,214 The proposal seeks to implement 906 00:40:15,214 --> 00:40:17,483 changes to three zones the 907 00:40:17,483 --> 00:40:19,552 warehouse and wholesale b-4, the 908 00:40:19,552 --> 00:40:22,552 light industrial I-1 zone and 909 00:40:24,957 --> 00:40:26,926 the heavy industrial I-2 zone. 910 00:40:26,926 --> 00:40:28,828 Diving into the zota proposal 911 00:40:28,828 --> 00:40:30,863 there are five major updates 912 00:40:30,863 --> 00:40:33,263 that staff is proposing. 913 00:40:33,566 --> 00:40:35,468 The first is the removal of 914 00:40:35,468 --> 00:40:37,603 nested zoning the inclusion of 915 00:40:37,603 --> 00:40:39,720 impact based use 916 00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:41,472 classifications, the defining of 917 00:40:41,641 --> 00:40:43,209 new land use terms, the 918 00:40:43,209 --> 00:40:46,209 development of a campus model 919 00:40:46,213 --> 00:40:47,380 which we hope to codify into the 920 00:40:47,380 --> 00:40:49,682 ordinance and then the inclusion 921 00:40:49,682 --> 00:40:52,251 of eating and drinking standards 922 00:40:52,251 --> 00:40:53,819 for light industrial zones. 923 00:40:53,819 --> 00:40:56,723 So the first change that I men 924 00:40:56,723 --> 00:40:58,959 shod the nested zoning are are 925 00:40:58,959 --> 00:41:00,959 industrial regulations utilized 926 00:41:02,562 --> 00:41:04,731 a classification system where 927 00:41:04,731 --> 00:41:06,532 lower intensity land uses are 928 00:41:06,532 --> 00:41:08,835 allowed by right by reference 929 00:41:08,835 --> 00:41:10,537 and this limits the ability to 930 00:41:10,537 --> 00:41:13,106 tailor those zones to the intent 931 00:41:13,106 --> 00:41:14,608 of the manufacturing industrial 932 00:41:14,608 --> 00:41:16,143 uses but also makes it difficult 933 00:41:16,143 --> 00:41:19,143 for the reader or business 934 00:41:20,714 --> 00:41:21,648 owners to understand what is 935 00:41:21,648 --> 00:41:23,116 permitted and the activity in 936 00:41:23,116 --> 00:41:24,818 the zone. 937 00:41:24,818 --> 00:41:27,454 So in the proposal we have 938 00:41:27,454 --> 00:41:28,889 listed all the principle 939 00:41:28,889 --> 00:41:29,456 activities that are allowed in 940 00:41:29,456 --> 00:41:31,456 each. 941 00:41:31,758 --> 00:41:33,427 Second we're looking to classify 942 00:41:33,427 --> 00:41:35,427 industrial and manufacturing 943 00:41:35,862 --> 00:41:37,330 land by their impact rather than 944 00:41:37,330 --> 00:41:39,330 the activity itself. 945 00:41:40,201 --> 00:41:42,369 So this classification system of 946 00:41:42,369 --> 00:41:43,704 high versus low will allow for 947 00:41:43,704 --> 00:41:45,339 more flexibility for business 948 00:41:45,339 --> 00:41:47,739 owners and property owners 949 00:41:48,750 --> 00:41:49,409 looking to do business here in 950 00:41:49,409 --> 00:41:51,450 lexington and also thank you for 951 00:41:51,450 --> 00:41:52,813 passing the exhibit. 952 00:41:52,813 --> 00:41:55,116 Staff created that exhibit for 953 00:41:55,116 --> 00:41:56,984 you all to see what is currently 954 00:41:56,984 --> 00:41:59,984 allowed in the zoning ordinance 955 00:42:00,721 --> 00:42:03,290 and how this would transform 956 00:42:03,290 --> 00:42:04,250 into high impact should this get 957 00:42:04,250 --> 00:42:05,926 passed. 958 00:42:05,926 --> 00:42:08,296 The definitions are high impact 959 00:42:08,296 --> 00:42:10,598 are located on page one of the 960 00:42:10,598 --> 00:42:12,601 draft and low impact is located 961 00:42:12,601 --> 00:42:14,601 on page 2. 962 00:42:15,503 --> 00:42:16,437 We're proposing to codify the 963 00:42:16,437 --> 00:42:18,272 executive campus model system 964 00:42:18,272 --> 00:42:21,272 into the zoning order nadges. 965 00:42:21,342 --> 00:42:22,944 And what we found during the 966 00:42:22,944 --> 00:42:24,913 blue sky small area plan process 967 00:42:24,913 --> 00:42:27,715 when we spoke to business owners 968 00:42:27,715 --> 00:42:31,315 and property owners is they are 969 00:42:31,953 --> 00:42:33,121 facing a parcel by parcel 970 00:42:33,121 --> 00:42:35,521 redevelopment issue because each 971 00:42:35,623 --> 00:42:36,691 parcel requires development 972 00:42:36,691 --> 00:42:38,691 restrictions and needs. 973 00:42:39,528 --> 00:42:41,797 We are proposing if a property 974 00:42:41,797 --> 00:42:43,832 or business owner has several 975 00:42:43,832 --> 00:42:45,668 different properties that are 976 00:42:45,668 --> 00:42:47,402 adjacent to each other and 977 00:42:47,402 --> 00:42:49,571 operating under the same 978 00:42:49,571 --> 00:42:50,405 organization that they be 979 00:42:50,405 --> 00:42:52,405 planned for together. 980 00:42:53,342 --> 00:42:54,709 And this is a growing sentiment 981 00:42:54,709 --> 00:42:57,109 as professional office space 982 00:42:57,112 --> 00:42:58,480 used to be separated from 983 00:42:58,480 --> 00:42:58,681 manufacturing and industrial 984 00:42:58,681 --> 00:43:00,681 uses. 985 00:43:00,749 --> 00:43:02,984 But now we're seeing those 986 00:43:02,984 --> 00:43:05,320 activities come back together. 987 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,424 So this language can be found on 988 00:43:08,424 --> 00:43:10,993 page 19 for the I-1 zone. 989 00:43:10,993 --> 00:43:12,993 Conditions 27 and 28. 990 00:43:14,130 --> 00:43:17,130 Page 28 for the I-2 zone 991 00:43:18,330 --> 00:43:19,469 conditions 32 and 33. 992 00:43:19,469 --> 00:43:21,869 The proposed language also 993 00:43:22,571 --> 00:43:23,639 allows for the incorporation of 994 00:43:23,639 --> 00:43:25,541 compatible commercial uses into 995 00:43:25,541 --> 00:43:27,541 the industrial zones, 996 00:43:28,177 --> 00:43:28,911 particularly for food and 997 00:43:28,911 --> 00:43:30,911 beverage producers. 998 00:43:32,281 --> 00:43:34,681 While existing regulations do 999 00:43:34,717 --> 00:43:36,720 allow for manufacturers to sell 1000 00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:38,754 limited sales or products 1001 00:43:38,754 --> 00:43:41,154 produced on-site, it currently 1002 00:43:41,390 --> 00:43:42,992 limits the eating and drinking 1003 00:43:42,992 --> 00:43:45,392 of establishments that could 1004 00:43:45,795 --> 00:43:48,698 support a business output and 1005 00:43:48,698 --> 00:43:49,320 possibly produce more tourism 1006 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:50,634 opportunities. 1007 00:43:50,634 --> 00:43:52,435 So the text amendment allows 1008 00:43:52,435 --> 00:43:54,170 eating and drinking 1009 00:43:54,170 --> 00:43:56,570 establishments when accessory to 1010 00:43:57,807 --> 00:43:59,209 a maximum of 30% of the parcel's 1011 00:43:59,209 --> 00:44:01,209 total floor area. 1012 00:44:02,913 --> 00:44:05,983 And that is located the text is 1013 00:44:05,983 --> 00:44:07,751 on page 20 for the I-1 zone. 1014 00:44:07,751 --> 00:44:10,521 And then lastly, the proposed 1015 00:44:10,521 --> 00:44:11,888 amendment added indoor 1016 00:44:11,888 --> 00:44:13,323 recreational activities as a 1017 00:44:13,323 --> 00:44:14,891 conditional use in the 1018 00:44:14,891 --> 00:44:16,891 industrial zone. 1019 00:44:18,195 --> 00:44:20,595 These activities include indoor 1020 00:44:22,466 --> 00:44:24,702 tennis, soccer, athletic club 1021 00:44:24,702 --> 00:44:25,335 facilities, bowling things like 1022 00:44:25,335 --> 00:44:27,335 that. 1023 00:44:27,837 --> 00:44:28,906 And currently, places of 1024 00:44:28,906 --> 00:44:30,906 religious assembly are 1025 00:44:31,108 --> 00:44:34,108 conditional uses in these zones 1026 00:44:34,111 --> 00:44:36,714 so staff has found that we are 1027 00:44:36,714 --> 00:44:38,182 treating different types of 1028 00:44:38,182 --> 00:44:39,850 assembly differently this 1029 00:44:39,850 --> 00:44:42,420 proposal would allow for both 1030 00:44:42,420 --> 00:44:43,420 religious assembly and indoor 1031 00:44:43,420 --> 00:44:44,354 recreational activities to be 1032 00:44:44,354 --> 00:44:46,354 treated the same. 1033 00:44:46,724 --> 00:44:48,993 And also allow for the board of 1034 00:44:48,993 --> 00:44:50,528 adjustment to decide if these 1035 00:44:50,528 --> 00:44:53,298 activities are safe to be next 1036 00:44:53,298 --> 00:44:56,298 door to a high industrial 1037 00:44:56,668 --> 00:44:58,668 manufacturing activity. 1038 00:44:59,170 --> 00:45:01,539 So the text for that is located 1039 00:45:01,539 --> 00:45:04,242 an page 7 for the b-4 zone and 1040 00:45:04,242 --> 00:45:07,842 page 23 for the I-1 zone and 1041 00:45:08,913 --> 00:45:10,615 page 33 for the I-2 zone. 1042 00:45:10,615 --> 00:45:12,550 So since we last presented this 1043 00:45:12,550 --> 00:45:15,190 item to the planning commission 1044 00:45:15,190 --> 00:45:15,487 there are two changeses to the 1045 00:45:15,487 --> 00:45:17,487 proposal. 1046 00:45:18,723 --> 00:45:20,825 The first is which we removed 1047 00:45:20,825 --> 00:45:22,627 any reference to data centers 1048 00:45:22,627 --> 00:45:25,964 and the like that is part of 1049 00:45:25,964 --> 00:45:27,332 urban county council text 1050 00:45:27,332 --> 00:45:29,167 initiated process and I believe 1051 00:45:29,167 --> 00:45:31,536 their public hearing is OCTOBER 1052 00:45:31,536 --> 00:45:33,138 6 at 5:30 here in the council 1053 00:45:33,138 --> 00:45:34,720 can chambers and more 1054 00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:37,720 information can be found about 1055 00:45:41,613 --> 00:45:44,613 that process at engage.Lexington 1056 00:45:45,284 --> 00:45:47,190 ky.Gov slash data centers and we 1057 00:45:47,190 --> 00:45:49,190 added indoor recreational 1058 00:45:49,121 --> 00:45:51,230 activities as a conditional use. 1059 00:45:51,230 --> 00:45:53,826 And when we were gathering input 1060 00:45:53,826 --> 00:45:55,894 and talking to the public about 1061 00:45:55,894 --> 00:45:59,494 this, we received the request to 1062 00:45:59,865 --> 00:46:01,334 add pickleball next to the word 1063 00:46:01,334 --> 00:46:03,368 tennis so pickleball has been 1064 00:46:03,368 --> 00:46:04,970 added to the definition of 1065 00:46:04,970 --> 00:46:07,673 indoor activities those are the 1066 00:46:07,673 --> 00:46:10,742 only two changes made since we 1067 00:46:10,742 -->

01:02:06,383 --> 01:02:08,151 they have indoor facilities but 1455 01:02:08,151 --> 01:02:11,151 they also have maybe something 1456 01:02:12,255 --> 01:02:14,357 outside that might be associated 1457 01:02:14,357 --> 01:02:16,357 with that use. 1458 01:02:16,927 --> 01:02:17,461 Again pickleball is a good 1459 01:02:17,461 --> 01:02:19,461 example. 1460 01:02:19,863 --> 01:02:22,800 A lot of people play inside but 1461 01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:24,601 there are pickleball courts 1462 01:02:24,601 --> 01:02:26,203 outside this particular use 1463 01:02:26,203 --> 01:02:28,572 would allow the board of 1464 01:02:28,572 --> 01:02:30,410 adjustment to approve a 1465 01:02:30,410 --> 01:02:31,442 pickleball facility and also 1466 01:02:31,442 --> 01:02:34,780 indoor and also allow them to 1467 01:02:34,780 --> 01:02:35,110 have a few outdoor courts on 1468 01:02:35,110 --> 01:02:36,414 that same property. 1469 01:02:36,414 --> 01:02:38,814 Does that make sense? 1470 01:02:39,830 --> 01:02:39,283 >> kind of. 1471 01:02:39,283 --> 01:02:40,985 Okay. 1472 01:02:40,985 --> 01:02:42,787 Thank you. 1473 01:02:42,787 --> 01:02:45,187 >> any other questions for 1474 01:02:45,522 -->

1538 01:06:06,127 --> 01:06:08,897 So as I mentioned this plan was 1539 01:06:08,897 --> 01:06:12,497 adopted, on JULY of this year. 1540 01:06:12,567 --> 01:06:14,636 And after that on AUGUST 3 we 1541 01:06:14,636 --> 01:06:16,604 filed the zota to make these 1542 01:06:16,604 --> 01:06:18,105 changes and from that we've been 1543 01:06:18,105 --> 01:06:20,505 meeting with the public. 1544 01:06:22,430 --> 01:06:22,811 We've shared the text with the 1545 01:06:22,811 --> 01:06:24,811 neighborhood associations. 1546 01:06:28,416 --> 01:06:30,185 We have met with land attorneys, 1547 01:06:30,185 --> 01:06:32,221 we've met with developers and 1548 01:06:32,221 --> 01:06:35,821 made changes with this and today 1549 01:06:36,758 --> 01:06:38,560 we are here before you to 1550 01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:39,861 present this text for you for 1551 01:06:39,861 --> 01:06:41,861 your consideration. 1552 01:06:44,233 --> 01:06:47,833 This is likely moving fast but 1553 01:06:48,737 --> 01:06:51,173 we continued to take comments 1554 01:06:51,173 --> 01:06:54,773 and the document before you is 1555 01:06:55,310 --> 01:06:58,470 to our staff's knowledge the 1556 01:06:58,470 --> 01:06:59,682 best possible text we can 1557 01:06:59,682 --> 01:07:01,682 present to you. 1558 01:07:01,717 --> 01:07:04,954 So what has changed since we 1559 01:07:04,954 --> 01:07:07,255 presented the original text on 1560 01:07:07,255 --> 01:07:09,255 AUGUST the third? 1561 01:07:09,891 --> 01:07:12,795 We've had feedback that resulted 1562 01:07:12,795 --> 01:07:14,263 in changes. 1563 01:07:14,263 --> 01:07:16,263 We can -- 1564 01:07:16,765 --> 01:07:17,199 we've clarified the height of 1565 01:07:17,199 --> 01:07:19,199 buildings. 1566 01:07:19,335 --> 01:07:21,838 We added something new that 1567 01:07:21,838 --> 01:07:25,438 wasn't there before which is the 1568 01:07:26,609 --> 01:07:29,780 height minimum for this zones. 1569 01:07:29,780 --> 01:07:31,313 This height changes does not 1570 01:07:31,313 --> 01:07:33,160 affect existing buildings, 1571 01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:35,416 additions or adaptive reuse, 1572 01:07:36,952 --> 01:07:39,952 then we've also looked into 1573 01:07:40,857 --> 01:07:42,857 parking more flexible. 1574 01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:44,894 We've added active depth to our 1575 01:07:44,894 --> 01:07:47,864 parking this helps with the 1576 01:07:47,864 --> 01:07:49,864 activating the street. 1577 01:07:50,867 --> 01:07:54,467 We've refined some of the uses 1578 01:07:55,304 --> 01:07:57,940 in the existing text ordinance. 1579 01:07:57,940 --> 01:08:00,778 And then if you compare the 1580 01:08:00,778 --> 01:08:04,378 first draft and what is before 1581 01:08:05,349 --> 01:08:06,783 you today, we had rideshare, 1582 01:08:06,783 --> 01:08:08,685 loading, delivery areas added to 1583 01:08:08,685 --> 01:08:10,120 new developments but that has 1584 01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:12,322 been taken off after having 1585 01:08:12,322 --> 01:08:12,589 discussions with the development 1586 01:08:12,589 --> 01:08:14,589 community. 1587 01:08:14,925 --> 01:08:16,593 The overall direction of this 1588 01:08:16,593 --> 01:08:18,462 text amendment stays the same. 1589 01:08:18,462 --> 01:08:22,620 There might be changes we we 1590 01:08:23,267 --> 01:08:25,536 still have the same goal. 1591 01:08:25,536 --> 01:08:27,437 In talking with community we 1592 01:08:27,437 --> 01:08:30,437 heard the process was moving 1593 01:08:30,707 --> 01:08:32,707 pretty fast. 1594 01:08:32,810 --> 01:08:33,977 We had the ltses hitds and 1595 01:08:33,977 --> 01:08:36,313 discussed that people were 1596 01:08:36,313 --> 01:08:36,547 concerned why we are making the 1597 01:08:36,547 --> 01:08:38,349 changes. 1598 01:08:38,349 --> 01:08:40,170 And discussion of open space and 1599 01:08:40,170 --> 01:08:41,352 green space in our downtown 1600 01:08:41,352 --> 01:08:42,520 areas and how we could improve 1601 01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:44,520 on those. 1602 01:08:46,190 --> 01:08:47,859 And then also been discussions 1603 01:08:47,859 --> 01:08:50,461 of auto oriented uses in our 1604 01:08:50,461 --> 01:08:51,496 downtown area why we were taking 1605 01:08:51,496 --> 01:08:53,798 out some of those. 1606 01:08:53,798 --> 01:08:57,398 All that has come from talking 1607 01:08:59,437 --> 01:09:01,437 to the public. 1608 01:09:03,274 --> 01:09:05,910 By the end of this I hope I can 1609 01:09:05,910 --> 01:09:08,910 convince you why this changes 1610 01:09:09,347 --> 01:09:12,347 were important the zoning text 1611 01:09:12,784 --> 01:09:13,500 amendment and the building 1612 01:09:13,500 --> 01:09:15,500 minimums. 1613 01:09:15,887 --> 01:09:18,656 We have 48 feet maximum for the 1614 01:09:18,656 --> 01:09:20,191 b2 and b2b. 1615 01:09:20,191 --> 01:09:22,728 And then we have minimum and 1616 01:09:22,728 --> 01:09:23,995 then we have no maximum height 1617 01:09:23,995 --> 01:09:26,395 for those two zones. 1618 01:09:26,964 --> 01:09:29,000 When it came to the b2a, 1619 01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:30,468 considered a transitional zone 1620 01:09:30,468 --> 01:09:33,468 because of the proximity to 1621 01:09:34,239 --> 01:09:36,841 residential areas, we capped the 1622 01:09:36,841 --> 01:09:39,841 height at 144 feet and the 1623 01:09:40,278 --> 01:09:42,781 minimum was capped at 36 feet. 1624 01:09:42,781 --> 01:09:45,830 Once again, this building 1625 01:09:45,830 --> 01:09:45,551 heights are not affect existing 1626 01:09:45,551 --> 01:09:47,551 buildings. 1627 01:09:48,687 --> 01:09:51,687 It doesn't affect adaptive reuse 1628 01:09:52,224 --> 01:09:55,224 and it doesn't affect additions. 1629 01:09:55,860 --> 01:09:59,398 When it came to the b2a, the 1630 01:09:59,398 --> 01:10:02,000 reason for why we went with 1631 01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:04,870 capping the having a minimum 1632 01:10:04,870 --> 01:10:06,572 height of 36 and then having a 1633 01:10:06,572 --> 01:10:09,572 transition whenever you are next 1634 01:10:11,177 --> 01:10:12,578 to a neighborhood was so that we 1635 01:10:12,578 --> 01:10:14,447 don't have super tall buildings 1636 01:10:14,447 --> 01:10:16,282 next to the neighborhood. 1637 01:10:16,282 --> 01:10:19,819 And we wanted to change that in 1638 01:10:19,819 --> 01:10:21,320 a way that reflects future use 1639 01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:24,920 not current use of that area 1640 01:10:25,325 --> 01:10:26,920 between the b2a and the 1641 01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:28,920 residential zones. 1642 01:10:28,961 --> 01:10:31,664 So we capped it at this step 1643 01:10:31,664 --> 01:10:33,934 down would be the maximum height 1644 01:10:33,934 --> 01:10:34,100 of the residential zone next to 1645 01:10:34,100 --> 01:10:36,100 it. 1646 01:10:36,469 --> 01:10:39,472 When that is done, it covers a 1647 01:10:39,472 --> 01:10:41,340 few things according to staff. 1648 01:10:41,340 --> 01:10:43,343 The creditability of future use 1649 01:10:43,343 --> 01:10:45,743 for that maximum height. 1650 01:10:48,781 --> 01:10:50,517 The consistency of having step 1651 01:10:50,517 --> 01:10:53,860 down height depending on the 1652 01:10:53,860 --> 01:10:54,921 zoning we're dealing with and 1653 01:10:54,921 --> 01:10:56,560 that there is duerability over 1654 01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:57,724 time. 1655 01:10:57,724 --> 01:11:00,560 If let's say a developer from 1656 01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:02,663 out of town instead of coming in 1657 01:11:02,663 --> 01:11:06,330 to look at the site and all that 1658 01:11:06,330 --> 01:11:07,801 you know where your step down 1659 01:11:07,801 --> 01:11:09,236 would be you have a rough idea 1660 01:11:09,236 --> 01:11:11,471 where your starting point is. 1661 01:11:11,471 --> 01:11:12,973 We also looked into our parking 1662 01:11:12,973 --> 01:11:15,542 as we know downtown needs 1663 01:11:15,542 --> 01:11:16,943 parking we need parking in our 1664 01:11:16,943 --> 01:11:19,312 downtown area we are not getting 1665 01:11:19,312 --> 01:11:21,881 rid of parking we moved surface 1666 01:11:21,881 --> 01:11:24,881 parking from principle use stand 1667 01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:27,621 alone parking from a principle 1668 01:11:27,621 --> 01:11:29,756 use to accessory use. 1669 01:11:29,756 --> 01:11:32,250 We also moved the location. 1670 01:11:32,250 --> 01:11:35,250 The original text had the 1671 01:11:36,196 --> 01:11:38,732 location of the accessory use 1672 01:11:38,732 --> 01:11:39,533 parking in the area of principle 1673 01:11:39,533 --> 01:11:41,100 use buildings and after 1674 01:11:41,100 --> 01:11:43,370 discussions with the developers, 1675 01:11:43,370 --> 01:11:45,773 it was decided that the best way 1676 01:11:45,773 --> 01:11:47,741 to go about this because of the 1677 01:11:47,741 --> 01:11:50,945 lot types and sizes we have 1678 01:11:50,945 --> 01:11:54,545 within our downtown area was to 1679 01:11:55,150 --> 01:11:57,752 have it in line with the 1680 01:11:57,752 --> 01:11:59,920 principle building primary wall. 1681 01:11:59,920 --> 01:12:02,991 That was also capped and go 1682 01:12:02,991 --> 01:12:04,992 through the text at one space 1683 01:12:04,992 --> 01:12:06,992 per 20,000 square feet. 1684 01:12:07,728 --> 01:12:09,530 And then after that we looked at 1685 01:12:09,530 --> 01:12:11,165 the existing structure parking 1686 01:12:11,165 --> 01:12:13,334 and future structured parking 1687 01:12:13,334 --> 01:12:15,470 that is still a principle use in 1688 01:12:15,470 --> 01:12:18,470 our downtown areas the three 1689 01:12:20,475 --> 01:12:24,679 zones b2, b2a and b2b and we had 1690 01:12:24,679 --> 01:12:26,679 addition after discussions 20 1691 01:12:28,349 --> 01:12:29,884 feet of non-parking for we call 1692 01:12:29,884 --> 01:12:31,453 that active depth. 1693 01:12:31,453 --> 01:12:34,990 The reason we have this is so 1694 01:12:34,990 --> 01:12:36,792 that a building by itself cannot 1695 01:12:36,792 --> 01:12:38,893 activate the street it what goes 1696 01:12:38,893 --> 01:12:39,694 on in the building that 1697 01:12:39,694 --> 01:12:41,694 activates the street. 1698 01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:45,134 If we have the depth we can have 1699 01:12:45,134 --> 01:12:47,502 coffee shops and retail and 1700 01:12:47,502 --> 01:12:48,470 these are things that can 1701 01:12:48,470 --> 01:12:50,470 activate the street. 1702 01:12:51,507 --> 01:12:53,175 When it came to some of the uses 1703 01:12:53,175 --> 01:12:54,810 we updated the ladies and 1704 01:12:54,810 --> 01:12:57,810 gentlemen because some of the 1705 01:12:58,981 --> 01:13:00,582 uses when they ordinance was 1706 01:13:00,582 --> 01:13:02,117 written, they directed most of 1707 01:13:02,117 --> 01:13:04,620 this to specific business uses. 1708 01:13:04,620 --> 01:13:05,354 Since then we know that business 1709 01:13:05,354 --> 01:13:07,354 have changed. 1710 01:13:07,523 --> 01:13:09,825 You can have a retail business 1711 01:13:09,825 --> 01:13:12,225 that also provides entertainment 1712 01:13:12,562 --> 01:13:13,963 that also provides wholesale and 1713 01:13:13,963 --> 01:13:14,897 manufactures some of those 1714 01:13:14,897 --> 01:13:16,498 products that they have within 1715 01:13:16,498 --> 01:13:18,498 that building. 1716 01:13:18,801 --> 01:13:20,336 So all this instead of 1717 01:13:20,336 --> 01:13:22,336 regulating it individual 1718 01:13:22,404 --> 01:13:24,239 business we changed the language 1719 01:13:24,239 --> 01:13:26,108 where we regulate the impact it 1720 01:13:26,108 --> 01:13:26,742 has on land use and not the 1721 01:13:26,742 --> 01:13:28,742 exact business. 1722 01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:29,211 That is some of the changes we 1723 01:13:29,211 --> 01:13:31,211 heard. 1724 01:13:31,547 --> 01:13:35,147 Then when it came to auto 1725 01:13:35,685 --> 01:13:37,486 oriented uses we limited those 1726 01:13:37,486 --> 01:13:39,210 and auto oriented uses as you 1727 01:13:39,210 --> 01:13:42,210 know the downtown area master 1728 01:13:42,458 --> 01:13:44,293 plan calls for having a more 1729 01:13:44,293 --> 01:13:46,762 walkable downtown and to have a 1730 01:13:46,762 --> 01:13:49,762 more walkable downtown we have 1731 01:13:50,100 --> 01:13:54,804 to limit use of some of our land 1732 01:13:54,804 --> 01:13:55,305 when it comes to auto oriented 1733 01:13:55,305 --> 01:13:57,305 spaces. 1734 01:13:58,575 --> 01:14:00,676 And then also working on this we 1735 01:14:00,676 --> 01:14:02,912 looked at the public realm and 1736 01:14:02,912 --> 01:14:05,820 some of the things we did to 1737 01:14:05,820 --> 01:14:06,783 encourage this was we moved our 1738 01:14:06,783 --> 01:14:09,253 buildings closer to the street. 1739 01:14:09,253 --> 01:14:12,550 So we move we have a minimum 1740 01:14:12,550 --> 01:14:14,910 maximum setback of 10 feet. 1741 01:14:14,910 --> 01:14:17,327 But that can be moved to 20 feet 1742 01:14:17,327 --> 01:14:21,331 if you use that space for things 1743 01:14:21,331 --> 01:14:23,266 like plazas, buried utilities 1744 01:14:23,266 --> 01:14:24,535 and offering dining areas 1745 01:14:24,535 --> 01:14:26,935 outside the building, drop-off 1746 01:14:27,104 --> 01:14:28,500 areas you can move the setback 1747 01:14:28,500 --> 01:14:30,500 to 20 feet. 1748 01:14:31,308 --> 01:14:34,308 Once again, active depth helps 1749 01:14:35,578 --> 01:14:38,578 to encourage that public realm. 1750 01:14:39,383 --> 01:14:40,884 And then what this does it 1751 01:14:40,884 --> 01:14:43,284 creates room for people. 1752 01:14:43,788 --> 01:14:46,788 Buildings and the downtown area 1753 01:14:46,791 --> 01:14:48,792 becomes more public realm. 1754 01:14:48,792 --> 01:14:50,940 But is encouraging that 1755 01:14:50,940 --> 01:14:52,940 connection between private 1756 01:14:53,330 --> 01:14:54,398 development and the public 1757 01:14:54,398 --> 01:14:56,200 street. 1758 01:14:56,200 --> 01:15:00,400 So the three zones that we are 1759 01:15:01,972 --> 01:15:04,475 looking at b2, b2a and b2b with 1760 01:15:04,475 --> 01:15:06,611 three different zones and 1761 01:15:06,611 --> 01:15:08,580 different roles and some things 1762 01:15:08,580 --> 01:15:10,314 are allowed but all tailored to 1763 01:15:10,314 --> 01:15:12,314 each specific zone. 1764 01:15:13,318 --> 01:15:14,185 We know that the b2 is more 1765 01:15:14,185 --> 01:15:16,185 about high density. 1766 01:15:19,957 --> 01:15:21,259 We though the b2a which enables 1767 01:15:21,259 --> 01:15:22,794 residential areas that is more 1768 01:15:22,794 --> 01:15:25,330 about the transition in scale 1769 01:15:25,330 --> 01:15:27,599 and the b2b, a lexington 1770 01:15:27,599 --> 01:15:30,599 downtown business that is more 1771 01:15:30,802 --> 01:15:32,802 about culture, entertainment, 1772 01:15:32,971 --> 01:15:35,371 and destination for people 1773 01:15:35,373 --> 01:15:36,441 within lexington and people from 1774 01:15:36,441 --> 01:15:37,809 outside lexington. 1775 01:15:37,809 --> 01:15:39,277 There might be principles that 1776 01:15:39,277 --> 01:15:42,877 run through the three of them, 1777 01:15:43,415 --> 01:15:45,884 but if you go deep into the text 1778 01:15:45,884 --> 01:15:49,321 they are tailored to the context 1779 01:15:49,321 --> 01:15:51,721 of those three zones. 1780 01:15:53,158 --> 01:15:55,293 So with that staff recommends 1781 01:15:55,293 --> 01:15:58,293 approval of this text amendment 1782 01:15:58,831 --> 01:16:00,799 due to the fact that it is an 1783 01:16:00,799 --> 01:16:03,199 implementation from the downtown 1784 01:16:03,235 --> 01:16:05,235 area master plan. 1785 01:16:05,804 --> 01:16:08,874 It creates three zones with each 1786 01:16:08,874 --> 01:16:10,420 with its own unique uses t 1787 01:16:10,420 --> 01:16:11,977 expands opportunity for 1788 01:16:11,977 --> 01:16:14,346 developers and businesses and 1789 01:16:14,346 --> 01:16:15,981 also housing diversity where we 1790 01:16:15,981 --> 01:16:17,283 can have more people move into 1791 01:16:17,283 --> 01:16:19,283 our downtown area. 1792 01:16:20,152 --> 01:16:22,552 It encourages reinvestments and 1793 01:16:23,522 --> 01:16:23,789 it modernizes our zoning 1794 01:16:23,789 --> 01:16:25,789 ordinance. 1795 01:16:26,959 --> 01:16:28,961 It also helps build an urban 1796 01:16:28,961 --> 01:16:31,961 form within our downtown area. 1797 01:16:32,310 --> 01:16:34,000 And then the overall consistency 1798 01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,668 in what the proposed language is 1799 01:16:35,668 --> 01:16:36,902 and the downtown area master 1800 01:16:36,902 --> 01:16:38,902 plan. 1801 01:16:40,106 --> 01:16:42,442 so these are the findings for 1802 01:16:42,442 --> 01:16:45,442 approval in it originated from 1803 01:16:46,278 --> 01:16:48,314 our adopted area master plan 1804 01:16:48,314 --> 01:16:50,314 encourages compact developments 1805 01:16:53,850 --> 01:16:54,788 and modernizes the uses in our 1806 01:16:54,788 --> 01:16:57,323 downtown area, it works for our 1807 01:16:57,323 --> 01:16:58,758 street environment where we have 1808 01:16:58,758 --> 01:17:00,493 better street to building 1809 01:17:00,493 --> 01:17:04,930 interface and we encourage a lot 1810 01:17:04,263 --> 01:17:05,332 of walkability and the use of 1811 01:17:05,332 --> 01:17:07,332 our public spaces. 1812 01:17:09,102 --> 01:17:11,804 And then as I said, this 1813 01:17:11,804 --> 01:17:12,773 findings bring together the 1814 01:17:12,773 --> 01:17:14,773 staff's recommendations. 1815 01:17:15,476 --> 01:17:15,742 With that I will take any 1816 01:17:15,742 --> 01:17:17,742 questions. 1817 01:17:18,311 --> 01:17:18,645 >> any questions for staff? 1818 01:17:18,645 --> 01:17:19,746 Commissioner? 1819 01:17:19,746 --> 01:17:20,247 >> yes, thank you for your 1820 01:17:20,247 --> 01:17:22,247 presentation. 1821 01:17:22,315 --> 01:17:24,217 I have a question on some 1822 01:17:24,217 --> 01:17:26,320 highlighted added text on page 1823 01:17:26,320 -->

01:20:03,644 10th council. 1897 01:20:04,514 --> 01:20:07,684 I will be talking about the 1898 01:20:07,684 --> 01:20:09,684 ambiguities in the 2047 1899 01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:12,122 comprehensive plan and how the 1900 01:20:12,122 --> 01:20:14,290 existing language we don't have 1901 01:20:14,290 --> 01:20:16,359 new language and haven't seen 1902 01:20:16,359 --> 01:20:19,929 it, we don't really want some of 1903 01:20:19,929 --> 01:20:20,630 the language to expand into new 1904 01:20:20,630 --> 01:20:22,630 areas. 1905 01:20:22,632 --> 01:20:24,434 Neighborhoods in the plan for 1906 01:20:24,434 --> 01:20:27,434 possible later expansion to the 1907 01:20:29,339 --> 01:20:33,344 urban frame b2a did not know 1908 01:20:33,344 --> 01:20:34,344 what james comey with b2a, the 1909 01:20:34,344 --> 01:20:36,547 neighborhoods asked not to be 1910 01:20:36,547 --> 01:20:37,647 included in downtown. 1911 01:20:37,647 --> 01:20:40,647 The georgetown street asked not 1912 01:20:40,650 --> 01:20:41,552 to be included and partially 1913 01:20:41,552 --> 01:20:43,552 included anyway. 1914 01:20:44,989 --> 01:20:45,856 People on fourth street thought 1915 01:20:45,856 --> 01:20:47,791 the boundary was third street 1916 01:20:47,791 --> 01:20:49,660 and it changed to fourth street. 1917 01:20:49,660 --> 01:20:52,562 Do you think that neighborhoods 1918 01:20:52,562 --> 01:20:55,766 would be positive about being on 1919 01:20:55,766 --> 01:20:57,368 a map for a downtown area if 1920 01:20:57,368 --> 01:20:59,203 they knew that short-term 1921 01:20:59,203 --> 01:20:59,736 rentals would then become a 1922 01:20:59,736 --> 01:21:01,736 principle use? 1923 01:21:02,173 --> 01:21:03,807 I don't think so. 1924 01:21:03,807 --> 01:21:06,207 When downtown expansion occurs 1925 01:21:06,377 --> 01:21:08,512 it should be in context with the 1926 01:21:08,512 --> 01:21:10,512 surrounding residential areas. 1927 01:21:10,882 --> 01:21:12,550 It does not mean that height and 1928 01:21:12,550 --> 01:21:14,819 mass should not increase. 1929 01:21:14,819 --> 01:21:15,520 Everybody knows it needs to and 1930 01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:16,421 should. 1931 01:21:16,421 --> 01:21:18,550 However, neither should it mean 1932 01:21:18,550 --> 01:21:20,291 that height and mass should be 1933 01:21:20,291 --> 01:21:22,160 unlimited or context does not 1934 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:24,462 matter if decision makers want 1935 01:21:24,462 --> 01:21:25,797 to create a new context that 1936 01:21:25,797 --> 01:21:28,797 specifically in language and it 1937 01:21:29,330 --> 01:21:30,234 shouldn't be there. 1938 01:21:30,234 --> 01:21:31,636 It's either contextual or it 1939 01:21:31,636 --> 01:21:33,380 isn't. 1940 01:21:33,380 --> 01:21:35,438 The placebuilder needs revision 1941 01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:38,677 and should not include high 1942 01:21:38,677 --> 01:21:39,277 density mixed-use in or near a 1943 01:21:39,277 --> 01:21:40,278 residential area. 1944 01:21:40,278 --> 01:21:42,278 Placebuilder states that 1945 01:21:42,480 --> 01:21:43,949 development should be in context 1946 01:21:43,949 --> 01:21:45,617 unless decision makers want to 1947 01:21:45,617 --> 01:21:48,320 change to a new context but 1948 01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:50,890 there is no explanation for what 1949 01:21:50,890 --> 01:21:51,690 causes that. 1950 01:21:51,690 --> 01:21:53,692 Major corridors will have the 1951 01:21:53,692 --> 01:21:56,295 same problem because of existing 1952 01:21:56,295 --> 01:21:57,629 language in the corridor note 1953 01:21:57,629 --> 01:21:59,531 zone. 1954 01:21:59,531 --> 01:22:01,767 Recent zone change provides an 1955 01:22:01,767 --> 01:22:03,535 example of the corridor node 1956 01:22:03,535 --> 01:22:05,204 zone in practice and that didn't 1957 01:22:05,204 --> 01:22:06,805 work very well. 1958 01:22:06,805 --> 01:22:09,805 Major increases in height and 1959 01:22:10,342 --> 01:22:12,478 mass will lead to gentrification 1960 01:22:12,478 --> 01:22:14,246 and replacement issues. 1961 01:22:14,246 --> 01:22:15,470 Developers will look for less 1962 01:22:15,470 --> 01:22:16,748 expensive land. 1963 01:22:16,748 --> 01:22:19,218 The addition of minimum heights 1964 01:22:19,218 --> 01:22:21,200 in the downtown area will harm 1965 01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:22,821 small businesses and reduce 1966 01:22:22,821 --> 01:22:23,622 services for downtown 1967 01:22:23,622 --> 01:22:24,990 neighborhoods in the long-term, 1968 01:22:24,990 --> 01:22:26,990 I think. 1969 01:22:28,127 --> 01:22:30,830 And number of cities do not have 1970 01:22:30,830 --> 01:22:32,665 minimum heights or have much 1971 01:22:32,665 --> 01:22:33,332 smaller minimums and frame 1972 01:22:33,332 --> 01:22:34,934 areas. 1973 01:22:34,934 --> 01:22:36,535 The reduction in street parking 1974 01:22:36,535 --> 01:22:38,705 in downtown will be a major 1975 01:22:38,705 --> 01:22:40,206 problem if not offset with 1976 01:22:40,206 --> 01:22:42,206 parking in structures. 1977 01:22:42,809 --> 01:22:45,110 Public transit needs to improve 1978 01:22:45,110 --> 01:22:46,579 dramatically if people are to 1979 01:22:46,579 --> 01:22:48,579 actually use it. 1980 01:22:48,948 --> 01:22:50,616 The approval of a zoning 1981 01:22:50,616 --> 01:22:52,118 ordinance text amendment should 1982 01:22:52,118 --> 01:22:53,353 be postponed today to allow the 1983 01:22:53,353 --> 01:22:55,753 public the planning commission 1984 01:22:56,422 --> 01:22:58,324 and the urban county council to 1985 01:22:58,324 --> 01:23:00,260 provide adequate oversight and 1986 01:23:00,260 --> 01:23:02,426 arrive at better solutions. 1987 01:23:02,695 --> 01:23:03,129 Thank you very hutch. 1988 01:23:03,129 --> 01:23:05,129 Much. 1989 01:23:17,744 --> 01:23:20,144 >> any other public comment? 1990 01:23:21,347 --> 01:23:24,347 >> amy clark 628 castle road I 1991 01:23:24,351 --> 01:23:26,751 will begin by apologizing. 1992 01:23:26,953 --> 01:23:28,755 I'm in chaos on this it is very, 1993 01:23:28,755 --> 01:23:31,155 very hard to oversee. 1994 01:23:31,525 --> 01:23:33,626 It was a really great thought to 1995 01:23:33,626 --> 01:23:35,228 stop the nesting of zones so 1996 01:23:35,228 --> 01:23:38,332 that somebody in a zone knew 1997 01:23:38,332 --> 01:23:40,100 what wa in the zone. 1998 01:23:40,100 --> 01:23:41,568 But the way that's going to work 1999 01:23:41,568 --> 01:23:44,604 it's going to come with the 2000 01:23:44,604 --> 01:23:45,573 wonderful tables where you can 2001 01:23:45,573 --> 01:23:47,140 see everything side-by-side you 2002 01:23:47,140 --> 01:23:50,440 can see my zone and the next 2003 01:23:50,440 --> 01:23:50,411 zone and the next zone we don't 2004 01:23:50,411 --> 01:23:52,411 have that what. 2005 01:23:54,481 --> 01:23:58,810 We have is this enormous text 2006 01:23:59,486 --> 01:24:01,289 for all the uses and much of it 2007 01:24:01,289 --> 01:24:01,655 is in common for all three 2008 01:24:01,655 --> 01:24:03,655 zones. 2009 01:24:05,326 --> 01:24:07,729 The rest of it go fish. 2010 01:24:07,729 --> 01:24:09,964 It's very, very hard to get any 2011 01:24:09,964 --> 01:24:12,833 sense of what is distinct or 2012 01:24:12,833 --> 01:24:13,868 different in the uses of the 2013 01:24:13,868 --> 01:24:15,868 different zones. 2014 01:24:18,105 --> 01:24:18,739 I'm going to focus on the 2015 01:24:18,739 --> 01:24:20,475 dimensional standards. 2016 01:24:20,475 --> 01:24:22,420 Because that was a little 2017 01:24:22,420 --> 01:24:24,442 shorter to figure out. 2018 01:24:25,346 --> 01:24:27,648 Turns out b2 and b2b are 2019 01:24:27,648 --> 01:24:28,516 identical in all their 2020 01:24:28,516 --> 01:24:30,516 dimensional standards. 2021 01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:36,290 And it's b2a that has some 2022 01:24:36,290 --> 01:24:38,290 different things. 2023 01:24:39,394 --> 01:24:40,228 In fact, just from the 2024 01:24:40,228 --> 01:24:42,628 dimensional standards and gazing 2025 01:24:42,830 --> 01:24:45,990 at the uses and that the sort of 2026 01:24:45,990 --> 01:24:47,135 summary of the intent which 2027 01:24:47,135 --> 01:24:50,735 comes from the comp plan, I 2028 01:24:51,106 --> 01:24:51,372 don't see how b2 and b2b are 2029 01:24:51,372 --> 01:24:53,341 different. 2030 01:24:53,341 --> 01:24:56,177 They have tourism in them. 2031 01:24:56,177 --> 01:24:56,445 They have high density, high 2032 01:24:56,445 --> 01:24:58,460 intensity. 2033 01:24:58,460 --> 01:25:00,748 I don't see what is different 2034 01:25:00,748 --> 01:25:01,283 about them I wonder why they are 2035 01:25:01,283 --> 01:25:03,283 separate. 2036 01:25:06,870 --> 01:25:08,487 Back to b2a. 2037 01:25:09,758 --> 01:25:13,358 There is a provision that the 2038 01:25:14,363 --> 01:25:17,363 height of the building beyond 70 2039 01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:19,534 feet should match the bordering 2040 01:25:19,534 --> 01:25:21,534 property -- 2041 01:25:23,839 --> 01:25:26,839 should match the maximum height 2042 01:25:27,710 --> 01:25:30,613 of the zone for the step back. 2043 01:25:30,613 --> 01:25:33,582 I was shocked to realize we're 2044 01:25:33,582 --> 01:25:35,451 talking about the maximum 2045 01:25:35,451 --> 01:25:37,851 allowed to the zone. 2046 01:25:39,288 --> 01:25:40,623 If you take r-4, which has 2047 01:25:40,623 --> 01:25:41,724 victorian cottages and two 2048 01:25:41,724 --> 01:25:44,724 storey and everything in the 2049 01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:47,160 downtown area, the maximum 2050 01:25:48,831 --> 01:25:51,231 height there is 60 feet. 2051 01:25:53,236 --> 01:25:54,304 and the idea of making the new 2052 01:25:54,304 --> 01:25:56,704 construction compatible is to 2053 01:25:57,740 --> 01:26:00,310 say it can't be but 60 feet 2054 01:26:00,310 --> 01:26:02,311 which is what the r-4 could 2055 01:26:02,311 --> 01:26:04,311 potentially be. 2056 01:26:05,348 --> 01:26:06,816 Because it was zoned a few 2057 01:26:06,816 --> 01:26:08,816 times. 2058 01:26:08,818 --> 01:26:11,554 It absolutely should match the 2059 01:26:11,554 --> 01:26:14,554 height of the existing property. 2060 01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:18,662 And particularly if it's in h-1 2061 01:26:18,662 --> 01:26:20,630 overlay the argument was you 2062 01:26:20,630 --> 01:26:22,799 could tear that property down 2063 01:26:22,799 --> 01:26:24,100 and here is this new fellow and 2064 01:26:24,100 --> 01:26:24,834 he would have been restricted in 2065 01:26:24,834 --> 01:26:26,834 his height. 2066 01:26:28,671 --> 01:26:30,106 You cannot tear down toes h-1 2067 01:26:30,106 --> 01:26:31,475 properties it should match the 2068 01:26:31,475 --> 01:26:34,475 actual building and more than 2069 01:26:36,613 --> 01:26:39,820 that I really would ask that you 2070 01:26:39,820 --> 01:26:41,351 present more usable materials 2071 01:26:41,351 --> 01:26:41,585 for review and continue the 2072 01:26:41,585 -->

realistic whether they will 2137 01:30:00,821 --> 01:30:02,322 produce the sort of growth 2138 01:30:02,322 --> 01:30:03,624 that's intended. 2139 01:30:03,624 --> 01:30:05,624 Aspired to. 2140 01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:10,160 And in particular the build to 2141 01:30:10,631 --> 01:30:11,164 limit you cannot build less than 2142 01:30:11,164 --> 01:30:13,164 x. 2143 01:30:16,537 --> 01:30:18,537 In the zones. 2144 01:30:19,540 --> 01:30:22,750 And the no surface parking. 2145 01:30:22,750 --> 01:30:24,812 When would why would I ever say 2146 01:30:24,812 --> 01:30:25,579 that I

01:30:32,887 --> 01:30:33,554 downtown it will push it out 2151 01:30:33,554 --> 01:30:35,554 elsewhere. 2152 01:30:37,959 --> 01:30:40,728 Where it's still less welcome. 2153 01:30:40,728 --> 01:30:41,796 The surface parking and the 2154 01:30:41,796 --> 01:30:43,796 smaller buildings. 2155 01:30:44,198 --> 01:30:46,801 So really think about whether 2156 01:30:46,801 --> 01:30:47,268 these minimums and maximums are 2157 01:30:47,268 --> 01:30:49,268 realistic. 2158 01:30:49,771 --> 01:30:51,771 >> thank you. 2159 01:30:57,111 --> 01:30:58,946 We'll hear from staff. 2160 01:30:58,946 -->

questions are what makes this 2164 01:31:04,185 --> 01:31:06,185 plan stronger. 2165 01:31:07,289 --> 01:31:08,523 I will start by making it clear, 2166 01:31:08,523 --> 01:31:11,523 whatever is existing right now 2167 01:31:12,327 --> 01:31:13,861 before this is adopted is 2168 01:31:13,861 --> 01:31:15,861 grandfathered in. 2169 01:31:16,965 --> 01:31:18,334 Existing parking lots, existing 2170 01:31:18,334 --> 01:31:21,334 structures, you don't have to 2171 01:31:21,337 --> 01:31:23,710 change and update it to meet the 2172 01:31:23,710 --> 01:31:25,474 standards the only time is when 2173 01:31:25,474 --> 01:31:29,344 something new comes in or if you 2174 01:31:29,344 --> 01:31:31,344 do extensive renovations. 2175 01:31:32,114 --> 01:31:34,160 A certain percentage for some 2176 01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:37,160 things trigger this you have 2177 01:31:37,353 --> 01:31:38,821 update it to match this. 2178 01:31:38,821 --> 01:31:40,821 Let's see. 2179 01:31:40,989 --> 01:31:42,625 Surface parking lots surface 2180 01:31:42,625 --> 01:31:45,460 parking lots has been moved from 2181 01:31:45,460 --> 01:31:47,729 being a principle use stand 2182 01:31:47,729 --> 01:31:48,830 alone use into these zones to 2183 01:31:48,830 --> 01:31:50,533 accessory use. 2184 01:31:50,533 --> 01:31:52,167 Instead of having piece of land 2185 01:31:52,167 --> 01:31:54,303 and just building a parking lot 2186 01:31:54,303 --> 01:31:55,872 there and that is the principle 2187 01:31:55,872 --> 01:31:56,705 use on that lot you can no 2188 01:31:56,705 --> 01:31:58,705 longer do that. 2189 01:31:58,741 --> 01:32:01,711 But if you have a building you 2190 01:32:01,711 --> 01:32:03,145 can build parking lot that is an 2191 01:32:03,145 --> 01:32:06,145 accessory use to that building. 2192 01:32:09,319 --> 01:32:12,919 That is in the text amendment. 2193 01:32:13,289 --> 01:32:15,325 Massage parlors, virtually is in 2194 01:32:15,325 --> 01:32:17,160 here medical and dental offices 2195

of these 2202 01:32:30,774 --> 01:32:32,609 businesses were originally 2203 01:32:32,609 --> 01:32:33,176 written when we listed 2204 01:32:33,176 --> 01:32:35,440 individual businesses. 2205 01:32:35,440 --> 01:32:37,347 But they could all fall under 2206 01:32:37,347 --> 01:32:40,160 one umbrella that is a good 2207 01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:40,583 example of where that comes into 2208 01:32:40,583 --> 01:32:42,285 use. 2209 01:32:42,285 --> 01:32:44,685 And the building height, 2210 01:32:48,725 --> 01:32:51,725 building height has been -- 2211 01:32:51,895 --> 01:32:54,297 building heights if you read the 2212 01:32:54,297 --> 01:32:56,733 downtown area master plan which 2213 01:32:56,733 --> 01:32:58,680 was took over to do that the 2214 01:32:58,680 --> 01:32:59,970 recommendations for the minimum 2215 01:32:59,970 --> 01:33:01,271 height in the downtown area is 2216 01:33:01,271 --> 01:33:02,673 six storeys. 2217 01:33:02,673 --> 01:33:04,775 After discussions

realize that six 2221 01:33:11,848 --> 01:33:12,750 storeys is ambitious for this 2222 01:33:12,750 --> 01:33:14,840 moment. 2223 01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:16,787 Hopefully one day we get there 2224 01:33:16,787 --> 01:33:18,823 but currently, the six storeys 2225 01:33:18,823 --> 01:33:21,158 was too much that is why we 2226 01:33:21,158 --> 01:33:23,930 reduce to do to 48 for the b2 2227 01:33:23,930 --> 01:33:25,930 and b2b. 2228 01:33:26,230 --> 01:33:29,320 And 36 for the b2a because of 2229 01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:31,680 the transition and the proximity 2230 01:33:31,680 --> 01:33:33,680 to residential areas. 2231 01:33:34,872 --> 01:33:35,139 And I think that covers all the 2232 01:33:35,139 --> 01:33:37,139 comments. 2233 01:33:41,346 --> 01:33:42,140 Thank you very

01:34:06,838 --> 01:34:09,238 that are to occur. 2245 01:34:09,540 --> 01:34:12,377 I understand that some sites do 2246 01:34:12,377 --> 01:34:15,179 not have a place to have a 2247 01:34:15,179 --> 01:34:17,579 dedicated place for that. 2248 01:34:18,490 --> 01:34:20,585 But how are developers expected 2249 01:34:20,585 --> 01:34:22,353 to respond in a plan or any 2250 01:34:22,353 --> 01:34:25,624 other way to say we thought 2251 01:34:25,624 --> 01:34:27,392 about this at least and we can 2252 01:34:27,392 --> 01:34:30,992 use the parking space and not 2253 01:34:30,995 --> 01:34:35,795 park in the street if we have a 2254 01:34:36,869 --> 01:34:38,869 delivery? 2255 01:34:39,104 --> 01:34:40,906 >> let me take that one. 2256 01:34:40,906 --> 01:34:42,207 >> is there anything that 2257 01:34:42,207 --> 01:34:44,743 compels a developer to think 2258 01:34:44,743 --> 01:34:46,778 about how the building might be 2259 01:34:46,778 --> 01:34:49,882 used when it's occupied to take 2260 01:34:49,882 --> 01:34:52,117 care of deliveries rather than 2261 01:34:52,117 --> 01:34:54,753 having it occur ad hoc? 2262 01:34:54,753 --> 01:34:56,188 >> so one. 2263 01:34:56,188 --> 01:34:57,322 Things we heard during our 2264 01:34:57,322 --> 01:34:58,757 public comment and working with 2265 01:34:58,757 --> 01:35:00,426 the commission and the 2266 01:35:00,426 --> 01:35:02,428 development group was there is a 2267 01:35:02,428 --> 01:35:03,496 concern with the existing 2268 01:35:03,496 --> 01:35:05,896 developers the existing land 2269 01:35:07,700 --> 01:35:09,335 that are zoned b2, b2a or b2b 2270 01:35:09,335 --> 01:35:12,380 which they said look we have not 2271 01:35:12,380 --> 01:35:13,906 thought of this this was not in 2272 01:35:13,906 --> 01:35:15,541 the plan before. 2273 01:35:15,541 --> 01:35:19,741 And we have an issue with trying 2274 01:35:20,413 --> 01:35:21,130 to do that within the site's 2275 01:35:21,130 --> 01:35:23,130 context. 2276 01:35:23,490 --> 01:35:24,217 Within placebuilder there is a 2277 01:35:24,217 --> 01:35:25,384 development criteria for all 2278 01:35:25,384 --> 01:35:26,919 downtown development to look at 2279 01:35:26,919 --> 01:35:28,919 those drop-off zones. 2280 01:35:29,221 --> 01:35:31,424 So as we get new development and 2281 01:35:31,424 --> 01:35:33,226 we are seeing rezonings that 2282 01:35:33,226 --> 01:35:35,950 gives us the opportunity to 2283 01:35:35,950 --> 01:35:36,596 bring up to you with the 2284 01:35:36,596 --> 01:35:38,931 applicant the changes that might 2285

sufficient language currently 2289 01:35:43,670 --> 01:35:45,205 within the comprehensive plan 2290 01:35:45,205 --> 01:35:47,940 that covers this for new sites 2291 01:35:47,940 --> 01:35:48,808 that are coming in. 2292 01:35:48,808 --> 01:35:50,808 >> okay. 2293 01:35:51,178 --> 01:35:53,178 Thank you. 2294 01:35:56,249 --> 01:35:56,716 >> commissioner wilson did you 2295 01:35:56,716 -->

01:36:17,637 --> 01:36:20,740 arena people build a parking 2306 01:36:20,740 --> 01:36:23,740 structure to compensate for the 2307 01:36:23,243 --> 01:36:25,245 loss of the parking on the 2308

01:39:18,210 --> 01:39:21,325 have been spoken about by the 2392 01:39:21,325 --> 01:39:23,325 public. 2393 01:39:30,901 --> 01:39:34,138 I was asking at the work session 2394 01:39:34,138 --> 01:39:35,906 that we look to either postpone 2395 01:39:35,906 --> 01:39:38,275 or continue the discussion so 2396 01:39:38,275 --> 01:39:41,875 that there would be time to 2397 01:39:42,847 --> 01:39:45,847 address some of these concerns. 2398 01:39:51,922 --> 01:39:54,925 I met with hal who with staff 2399 01:39:54,925 --> 01:39:56,827 drafted some items to address 2400 01:39:56,827 --> 01:39:58,827 these concerns. 2401 01:40:00,197 --> 01:40:03,797 so I'll present them here today. 2402 01:40:03,902 --> 01:40:06,838 If people feel comfortable by 2403 01:40:06,838 --> 01:40:08,906 and large they addressed my bulk 2404 01:40:08,906 --> 01:40:09,140 concerns I'm comfortable going 2405 01:40:09,140 --> 01:40:11,140 forward. 2406 01:40:12,510 --> 01:40:13,377 If people aren't comfortable I'm 2407 01:40:13,377 --> 01:40:15,777 also still comfortable with 2408 01:40:15,946 --> 01:40:18,946 asking for a continuance so 2409 01:40:20,752 --> 01:40:21,652 other people can have more time 2410 01:40:21,652 --> 01:40:23,588 for input. 2411 01:40:23,588 --> 01:40:25,590 There's only one addition that 2412 01:40:25,590 --> 01:40:28,590 applied to all three zones. 2413 01:40:31,229 --> 01:40:32,897 And that was to create a pathway 2414 01:40:32,897 --> 01:40:35,897 for building for projects that 2415 01:40:36,668 --> 01:40:39,104 have a building or buildings 2416 01:40:39,104 --> 01:40:41,272 that do not meet the minimum 2417 01:40:41,272 --> 01:40:44,872 height and my questions to staff 2418 01:40:44,976 --> 01:40:47,813 that came up because there are 2419 01:40:47,813 --> 01:40:50,582 types of businesses and projects 2420 01:40:50,582 --> 01:40:53,184 that are called for in the 2421 01:40:53,184 --> 01:40:54,753 downtown master plan that don't 2422 01:40:54,753 --> 01:40:56,254 tip -- 2423 01:40:56,254 --> 01:40:58,457 that are nonresidential that 2424 01:40:58,457 --> 01:41:00,826 don't typically come associated 2425 01:41:00,826 --> 01:41:03,628 with a taller building like an 2426 01:41:03,628 --> 01:41:05,628 apartment building. 2427 01:41:05,897 --> 01:41:07,666 They also there was also not a 2428 01:41:07,666 --> 01:41:09,434 provision if somebody was 2429 01:41:09,434 --> 01:41:12,434 proposing a larger scale project 2430 01:41:12,838 --> 01:41:15,441 that had accessory buildings or 2431 01:41:15,441 --> 01:41:17,943 a food kiosk in the courtyard or 2432 01:41:17,943 --> 01:41:19,712 something like that, that would 2433 01:41:19,712 --> 01:41:21,981 be below height minimum. 2434 01:41:21,981 --> 01:41:24,850 This would create a pathway 2435 01:41:24,850 --> 01:41:25,885 where someone who had an 2436 01:41:25,885 --> 01:41:27,853 accessory building or a 2437 01:41:27,853 --> 01:41:29,210 principle building for a use 2438 01:41:29,210 --> 01:41:30,923 called for in the downtown 2439 01:41:30,923 --> 01:41:33,325 master plan didn't meet the 48 2440 01:41:33,325 --> 01:41:35,325 feet or 36 feet. 2441

01:41:41,267 --> 01:41:44,267 for that without it necessarily 2445 01:41:45,304 --> 01:41:47,400 being a variance they couldn't 2446 01:41:47,400 --> 01:41:48,942 build an apartment but why they 2447 01:41:48,942 --> 01:41:49,342 want to build what they want to 2448 01:41:49,342 --> 01:41:51,342 build. 2449 01:41:52,120 --> 01:41:53,279 >> would you like us to show it 2450 01:41:53,279 --> 01:41:55,181 on the screen? 2451 01:41:55,181 --> 01:41:56,783 >> if you could put that up 2452 01:41:56,783 --> 01:41:58,783 there. 2453 01:42:00,620 --> 01:42:03,620 The other amendments all applied 2454 01:42:05,358 --> 01:42:06,192 additions all applied to the b2a 2455 01:42:06,192 --> 01:42:08,192 zone. 2456 01:42:08,896 --> 01:42:10,364 And that really stems from what 2457 01:42:10,364 --> 01:42:13,866 we heard from a couple of the 2458 01:42:13,866 --> 01:42:16,636 public comments which is that 2459 01:42:16,636 --> 01:42:18,639 this zone if we approve this 2460 01:42:18,639 --> 01:42:21,541 zota is changing the intent of 2461 01:42:21,541 --> 01:42:24,541 this zone from being really 2462 01:42:26,130 --> 01:42:28,848 tightly bound around two zone 2463 01:42:28,848 --> 01:42:31,848 downtown, to extending into the 2464 01:42:45,199 --> 01:42:47,599 second tier urban neighborhoods. 2465 01:42:48,368 --> 01:42:52,568 Here is an example of that text 2466 01:42:53,206 --> 01:42:56,806 that aplayed to all three zones. 2467 01:42:57,144 --> 01:42:59,247 Stating that this commission 2468 01:42:59,247 --> 01:43:01,490 could approve a project with a 2469 01:43:01,490 --> 01:43:03,450 building that did not meet the 2470 01:43:03,450 --> 01:43:06,450 minimums, if someone came here 2471 01:43:07,688 --> 01:43:09,324 and showed that it complied with 2472 01:43:09,324 --> 01:43:10,958 the downtown master plan. 2473 01:43:10,958 --> 01:43:13,958 That would be basically a 2474 01:43:16,230 --> 01:43:17,932 similar process as somebody who 2475 01:43:17,932 --> 01:43:19,801 today comes here because they 2476 01:43:19,801 --> 01:43:23,401 want to build a building taller 2477 01:43:24,639 --> 01:43:26,407 than the b-1 zone typically 2478 01:43:26,407 --> 01:43:29,811 allows and the build showed the 2479 01:43:29,811 --> 01:43:32,780 context and get permission to do 2480 01:43:32,780 --> 01:43:34,248 so. 2481 01:43:34,248 --> 01:43:37,848 Jumping to the ones that are 2482 01:43:49,970 --> 01:43:52,233 specific only to the b2a, the 2483 01:43:52,233 --> 01:43:54,670 b2a as we're extending into the 2484 01:43:54,670 --> 01:43:57,700 second tier urban neighborhoods 2485 01:43:58,907 --> 01:44:01,907 that have traditionally had that 2486 01:44:05,460 --> 01:44:08,517 have not just green space our 2487 01:44:08,517 --> 01:44:09,952 downtown zone has no required 2488 01:44:09,952 --> 01:44:12,487 vegetative open space looking at 2489 01:44:12,487 --> 01:44:16,687 some of the plans it seems like 2490 01:44:16,958 --> 01:44:19,961 a lot of the plans are coming in 2491 01:44:19,961 --> 01:44:20,996 around 5% just around the 2492 01:44:20,996 --> 01:44:22,996 building. 2493 01:44:23,432 --> 01:44:26,702 I think if we are changing the 2494 01:44:26,702 --> 01:44:28,971 intent to extend into the 2495 01:44:28,971 --> 01:44:30,172 neighborhoods, that more 2496 01:44:30,172 --> 01:44:32,572 vegetative open space meaning 2497 01:44:34,911 --> 01:44:35,978 plants and green space is 2498 01:44:35,978 --> 01:44:37,978 important. 2499 01:44:38,547 --> 01:44:39,915 This edit is pretty minimal 2500 01:44:39,915 --> 01:44:42,885 because looking at the other 2501 01:44:42,885 --> 01:44:44,353 zones we allow pretty low amount 2502 01:44:44,353 --> 01:44:45,988 in the b-1. 2503 01:44:45,988 --> 01:44:48,792 So that's where that percentage 2504 01:44:48,792 --> 01:44:50,792 came from. 2505 01:44:51,761 --> 01:44:54,463 Green roots have a multiplier. 2506 01:44:54,463 --> 01:44:56,700 Somebody putting a 5% around the 2507 01:44:56,700 --> 01:44:58,835 building like we've been seeing, 2508 01:44:58,835 --> 01:44:59,802 could have just like 2509 01:44:59,802 --> 01:45:01,604 two-and-a-half percent of their 2510 01:45:01,604 --> 01:45:04,207 property as a green roof and 2511 01:45:04,207 --> 01:45:05,875 meet that requirement. 2512 01:45:05,875 --> 01:45:08,278 So that is a small one. 2513 01:45:08,278 --> 01:45:10,547 And it only applies to the 2514 01:45:10,547 --> 01:45:12,649 larger lots so that if somebody 2515 01:45:12,649 --> 01:45:15,752 does want to do a small lot 2516 01:45:15,752 --> 01:45:17,554 redevelopment in that typical 2517 01:45:17,554 --> 01:45:18,621 traditional downtown style or 2518 01:45:18,621 --> 01:45:20,590 neighborhood commercial style 2519 01:45:20,590 --> 01:45:22,893 like you might see in the 2520 01:45:22,893 --> 01:45:25,293 woodland triangle or main 2521 01:45:25,428 --> 01:45:27,828 street, this provision wouldn't 2522 01:45:30,867 --> 01:45:32,867 apply. 2523 01:45:35,172 --> 01:45:37,241 The next one there is speaking 2524 01:45:37,241 --> 01:45:41,441 to what we heard from a couple 2525 01:45:42,912 --> 01:45:46,512 other people is basically, it is 2526 01:45:47,451 --> 01:45:49,352 saying that the step down if we 2527 01:45:49,352 --> 01:45:50,654 were to accept this 2528 01:45:50,654 --> 01:45:53,540 modification, it's saying the 2529 01:45:53,790 --> 01:45:57,561 step down if it is adjacent to a 2530 01:45:57,561 --> 01:45:59,764 residentially zoned property, is 2531 01:45:59,764 --> 01:45:59,964 responding to what is actually 2532 01:45:59,964 --> 01:46:01,964 there. 2533 01:46:02,833 --> 01:46:04,368 And this is really just as I 2534 01:46:04,368 --> 01:46:07,771 mentioned in regards to some of 2535 01:46:07,771 --> 01:46:10,641 the concern that, you know, a 2536 01:46:10,641 --> 01:46:14,144 house that we might have in the 2537 01:46:14,144 --> 01:46:16,948 east end that is one or two 2538 01:46:16,948 --> 01:46:19,948 storeys, is very different from 2539 01:46:20,651 --> 01:46:21,752 maybe a four storey apartment 2540 01:46:21,752 --> 01:46:23,688 that we have on martin luther 2541 01:46:23,688 --> 01:46:25,423 king, JR. 2542 01:46:25,423 --> 01:46:27,859 And this would as this text is 2543 01:46:27,859 --> 01:46:30,280 drafted and I sent it out allow 2544 01:46:30,280 --> 01:46:31,996 for that step down to be taller 2545 01:46:31,996 --> 01:46:33,731 than the existing structure in 2546 01:46:33,731 --> 01:46:35,731 the current context. 2547 01:46:37,168 --> 01:46:38,770 As written this says 10 feet 2548 01:46:38,770 --> 01:46:40,770 taller. 2549 01:46:46,878 --> 01:46:48,746 And it's the same basic 2550 01:46:48,746 --> 01:46:50,281 dimensions so that step down is 2551 01:46:50,281 --> 01:46:50,915 still 50 feet from the property 2552 01:46:50,915 --> 01:46:52,915 line. 2553 01:46:56,540 --> 01:46:58,723 And it's the same relevance it 2554 01:46:58,723 --> 01:47:00,859 is a residential zone and on the 2555 01:47:00,859 --> 01:47:03,859 same side of the street. 2556 01:47:06,865 --> 01:47:10,735 And the final one in the b2a 2557 01:47:10,735 --> 01:47:13,135 specifically, again, looking at 2558 01:47:14,600 --> 01:47:15,640 where these downtown frame zones 2559 01:47:15,640 --> 01:47:17,976 are adjacent to the existing 2560 01:47:17,976 --> 01:47:20,976 residential and the second tier 2561 01:47:21,480 --> 01:47:23,480 urban neighborhoods, primarily 2562 01:47:23,716 --> 01:47:26,551 that is this zota already calls 2563 01:47:26,551 --> 01:47:30,151 for a 12-foot setback on the 2564 01:47:30,322 --> 01:47:33,322 side yard and rear yard. 2565 01:47:34,526 --> 01:47:36,628 And this is we already in 2566 01:47:36,628 --> 01:47:38,297 discussions on zone change 2567 01:47:38,297 --> 01:47:40,833 frequently are asking for this 2568 01:47:40,833 --> 01:47:42,101 type of mechanical stuff to be 2569 01:47:42,101 --> 01:47:43,969 put on the roof. 2570 01:47:43,969 --> 01:47:47,573 This is sort of going ahead and 2571 01:47:47,573 --> 01:47:48,640 putting that in writing and 2572 01:47:48,640 --> 01:47:51,640 saying that this isn't require 2573 01:47:53,790 --> 01:47:54,880 to go be on the roof but saying 2574 01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:57,880 those mechanical systems such as 2575 01:47:59,452 --> 01:48:01,852 the hvac, trash compacttors 2576 01:48:02,688 --> 01:48:05,324 can't be in that 12-foot setback 2577 01:48:05,324 --> 01:48:08,728 on the side and rear yard 2578 01:48:08,728 --> 01:48:10,530 adjacent to residential. 2579 01:48:10,530 --> 01:48:12,865 So with that I will turn things 2580 01:48:12,865 --> 01:48:15,865 back over to the commission. 2581 01:48:18,872 --> 01:48:22,410 But those are this language was 2582 01:48:22,410 --> 01:48:25,641 provided by staff after the last 2583 01:48:25,979 --> 01:48:29,449 work session in response to some 2584 01:48:29,449 --> 01:48:31,150 of the concerns I brought up. 2585 01:48:31,150 --> 01:48:32,152 >> thank you commissioner 2586 01:48:32,152 --> 01:48:32,619 michler. 2587 01:48:32,619 --> 01:48:33,860 Commissioner nicol. 2588 01:48:33,860 --> 01:48:34,888 >> yes. 2589 01:48:34,888 --> 01:48:37,288 Thank you for that. 2590 01:48:40,694 --> 01:48:41,610 I'm responding to the staff's 2591 01:48:41,610 --> 01:48:41,895 recommendation. 2592 01:48:41,895 --> 01:48:44,197 I understand we have new 2593 01:48:44,197 --> 01:48:47,197 language that is being proposed 2594 01:48:48,735 --> 01:48:50,370 by robin but I wanted to make 2595 01:48:50,370 --> 01:48:51,939 known that even though the 2596 01:48:51,939 --> 01:48:54,476 language was written by staff, 2597 01:48:54,476 --> 01:48:55,875 it is not what we're voting on 2598 01:48:55,875 --> 01:48:57,744 unless we make the changes to 2599 01:48:57,744 --> 01:48:59,744 the staff's requirements. 2600 01:49:02,150 --> 01:49:05,319 In my opinion, I'm interested in 2601 01:49:05,319 --> 01:49:07,719 approving the staff's language. 2602 01:49:08,989 --> 01:49:10,891 And less interested in 2603 01:49:10,891 --> 01:49:13,600 restricting this zone, which is 2604 01:49:13,600 --> 01:49:15,620 the intent of the zone is 2605 01:49:15,620 --> 01:49:17,310 specialized district for high 2606 01:49:17,310 --> 01:49:18,299 density residential and high 2607 01:49:18,299 --> 01:49:19,233 intensity commercial and 2608 01:49:19,233 --> 01:49:21,233 mixed-use developments. 2609 01:49:21,902 --> 01:49:23,637 We only have two zones and we 2610 01:49:23,637 --> 01:49:25,339 have one downtown and we have 2611 01:49:25,339 --> 01:49:26,607 one downtown frame. 2612 01:49:26,607 --> 01:49:28,476 We've been told we have heard 2613 01:49:28,476 --> 01:49:30,645 here from our community that we 2614 01:49:30,645 --> 01:49:34,849 are to grow up and not grow out. 2615 01:49:34,849 --> 01:49:36,618 So in my opinion, I am in favor 2616 01:49:36,618 --> 01:49:38,719 of the staff's recommendations 2617 01:49:38,719 --> 01:49:40,554 rather than continuing to 2618 01:49:40,554 --> 01:49:42,590 restrict the overall height 2619 01:49:42,590 --> 01:49:45,960 requirements in our b2a zone as 2620 01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:46,160 it is touching up to existing 2621 01:49:46,160 --> 01:49:48,160 zones. 2622 01:49:48,762 --> 01:49:51,432 As we're looking in the text 2623 01:49:51,432 --> 01:49:53,434 that robin has provided us on 2624 01:49:53,434 --> 01:49:54,836 page 12 there was a minimum open 2625 01:49:54,836 --> 01:49:56,671 space that has been added 2626 01:49:56,671 --> 01:49:59,975 however when a project area is 2627 01:49:59,975 --> 01:50:01,743 greater than one acre in size 2628 01:50:01,743 --> 01:50:02,244 vegetative open space shall be 2629 01:50:02,244 --> 01:50:04,790 10%. 2630 01:50:04,790 --> 01:50:05,460 I am opposed to that 2631 01:50:05,460 --> 01:50:07,446 recommendation because we have 2632 01:50:09,117 --> 01:50:11,954 continued to hear in work groups 2633 01:50:11,954 --> 01:50:13,954 that vibrant downtown 2634 01:50:13,955 --> 01:50:16,240 communities have parks, public 2635 01:50:16,240 --> 01:50:17,392 parks, private parks, and pocket 2636 01:50:17,392 --> 01:50:20,929 parks and I think that is a 2637 01:50:20,929 --> 01:50:23,298 better way to address the 2638 01:50:23,298 --> 01:50:24,232 overall vegetative requirement 2639 01:50:24,232 --> 01:50:26,232 in our community. 2640 01:50:27,102 --> 01:50:28,603 To have intentional spaces that 2641 01:50:28,603 --> 01:50:30,272 are being built to be utilized 2642 01:50:30,272 --> 01:50:30,906 rather than to meet a 2643 01:50:30,906 --> 01:50:32,906 requirement. 2644 01:50:33,208 --> 01:50:35,677 In my opinion, I believe that we 2645 01:50:35,677 --> 01:50:38,677 should allow for the staff's 2646 01:50:41,830 --> 01:50:42,685 recommendation of not having a 2647 01:50:42,685 --> 01:50:44,654 open space regulations. 2648 01:50:44,654 --> 01:50:47,654 And that would further promote 2649 01:50:47,722 --> 01:50:48,824 the development and use of 2650 01:50:48,824 --> 01:50:50,226 pocket parks. 2651 01:50:50,226 --> 01:50:52,940 and the parks that we're putting 2652 01:50:52,940 --> 01:50:52,394 in place right now through our 2653 01:50:52,394 --> 01:50:54,394 government. 2654 01:50:54,764 --> 01:50:55,865 I think it's important for us to 2655 01:50:55,865 --> 01:50:56,999 continue to maximize density 2656 01:50:56,999 --> 01:50:59,999 especially in the downtown area 2657 01:51:00,703 --> 01:51:01,871 and especially in the b2a zones 2658 01:51:01,871 --> 01:51:03,871 as well. 2659 01:51:04,941 --> 01:51:05,541 So those are my thoughts what we 2660 01:51:05,541 --> 01:51:07,900 heard so far. 2661 01:51:07,900 --> 01:51:07,743 >> thank you. 2662 01:51:07,743 --> 01:51:09,743 Commissioner penn? 2663 01:51:12,181 --> 01:51:14,584 >> let me follow-up on what 2664 01:51:14,584 --> 01:51:16,652 MR. Nicol is talking about. 2665 01:51:16,652 --> 01:51:18,854 Who do you propose are you 2666 01:51:18,854 --> 01:51:20,790 saying that the city ought to 2667 01:51:20,790 --> 01:51:21,570 build the pocket parks or the 2668 01:51:21,570 --> 01:51:23,570 developer? 2669 01:51:24,930 --> 01:51:26,729 >> I'm saying is we should not 2670 01:51:26,729 --> 01:51:27,563 put additional requirements to 2671 01:51:27,563 --> 01:51:29,963 provide vegetated open space 2672 01:51:29,966 --> 01:51:32,340 that should not be an added 2673 01:51:32,340 --> 01:51:33,700 requirement for our downtown 2674 01:51:33,700 --> 01:51:33,636 zones we are addressing right 2675 01:51:33,636 --> 01:51:34,905 now. 2676 01:51:34,905 --> 01:51:38,740 What I'm say something that we 2677 01:51:38,740 --> 01:51:39,709 have seen an effort being made 2678 01:51:39,709 --> 01:51:42,109 to have either private 2679 01:51:43,180 --> 01:51:44,514 developers or the public to 2680 01:51:44,514 --> 01:51:46,514 create pocket parks. 2681 01:51:47,584 --> 01:51:48,852 So it would not be required for 2682 01:51:48,852 --> 01:51:50,852 the downtown zones. 2683 01:51:51,554 --> 01:51:54,157 But it is encouraged for those 2684 01:51:54,157 --> 01:51:57,394 in the community whether it is a 2685 01:51:57,394 --> 01:51:58,495 developer or the city to build 2686 01:51:58,495 --> 01:52:00,495 usable pocket parks. 2687 01:52:01,565 --> 01:52:05,165 And we've seen examples what a 2688 01:52:05,235 --> 01:52:07,538 usable pocket park looks like 2689 01:52:07,538 --> 01:52:10,538 and unusable park, the solution 2690 01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:11,842 is should not be required by the 2691 01:52:11,842 --> 01:52:14,242 property owners themselves as 2692 01:52:14,745 --> 01:52:17,745 we're trying to increase maximum 2693 01:52:18,649 --> 01:52:21,850 density and by removing 10% of 2694 01:52:21,850 --> 01:52:22,486 the buildable lots which are 2695 01:52:22,486 --> 01:52:23,254 normally small and promoting 2696 01:52:23,254 --> 01:52:25,254 growing up. 2697 01:52:28,626 --> 01:52:29,860 It will cause it will limit the 2698 01:52:29,860 --> 01:52:30,940 density we would like to 2699 01:52:30,940 --> 01:52:32,940 achieve. 2700 01:52:33,431 --> 01:52:36,431 >> but the history of our 2701 01:52:41,339 --> 01:52:43,374 community has been private 2702 01:52:43,374 --> 01:52:45,643 citizens built gatton park, and 2703 01:52:45,643 --> 01:52:48,346 private citizens built the most 2704 01:52:48,346 --> 01:52:50,447 of our parks have been done by 2705 01:52:50,447 --> 01:52:51,480 private developers, by private 2706 01:52:51,480 --> 01:52:53,480 citizens. 2707 01:52:53,851 --> 01:52:55,820 So the developers haven't been 2708 01:52:55,820 --> 01:52:59,190 on the hook to get that at all. 2709 01:52:59,190 --> 01:53:00,892 >> that is a positive way to 2710 01:53:00,892 --> 01:53:02,159 effect change private citizens 2711 01:53:02,159 --> 01:53:02,493 building wonderful things for 2712 01:53:02,493 --> 01:53:04,262 the community. 2713 01:53:04,262 --> 01:53:06,662 >> I'm that against that. 2714 01:53:07,532 --> 01:53:08,199 I hate to say that that will 2715 01:53:08,199 --> 01:53:09,801 continue. 2716 01:53:09,801 --> 01:53:10,869 There is one generation that 2717 01:53:10,869 --> 01:53:12,670 built most of those. 2718 01:53:12,670 --> 01:53:14,406 I don't know what the new 2719 01:53:14,406 --> 01:53:17,642 generations will do it and you 2720 01:53:17,642 --> 01:53:17,942 MAY windup with density and no 2721 01:53:17,942 --> 01:53:19,942 parks. 2722 01:53:20,412 --> 01:53:22,247 >> we have done thankful to the 2723 01:53:22,247 --> 01:53:25,247 generations that came before us 2724 01:53:25,684 --> 01:53:28,190 that did develop phoenix park, 2725 01:53:28,190 --> 01:53:29,921 thorough good park and that was 2726 01:53:29,921 --> 01:53:32,921 an impressive feat it involved 2727 01:53:33,559 --> 01:53:35,260 people from the development and 2728 01:53:35,260 --> 01:53:36,227 banking community and high 2729 01:53:36,227 --> 01:53:38,227 network individuals. 2730 01:53:38,630 --> 01:53:40,866 We have done a dude job building 2731 01:53:40,866 --> 01:53:43,168 parks I just don't want to end 2732 01:53:43,168 --> 01:53:44,303 up in a situation where we're 2733 01:53:44,303 --> 01:53:46,703 requiring we're going against 2734 01:53:47,172 --> 01:53:49,572 the staff's recommendation to 2735 01:53:49,642 --> 01:53:52,444 not have more restrictive open 2736 01:53:52,444 --> 01:53:53,879 space regulations because we 2737 01:53:53,879 --> 01:53:55,800 have already built such 2738 01:53:55,800 --> 01:53:58,160 wonderful parks and you aright 2739 01:53:58,160 --> 01:53:59,718 the private citizens that have 2740 01:53:59,718 --> 01:53:59,985 done this should be thanked and 2741 01:53:59,985 --> 01:54:01,985 respected. 2742 01:54:03,589 --> 01:54:06,158 And now if we can buildup on 2743 01:54:06,158 --> 01:54:07,759 every inch of the land we can it 2744 01:54:07,759 --> 01:54:09,762 will only benefit the community. 2745 01:54:09,762 --> 01:54:11,762 >> commissioner worth? 2746 01:54:12,899 --> 01:54:13,899 >> I'm switching gears here just 2747 01:54:13,899 --> 01:54:15,899 a little bit. 2748 01:54:17,202 --> 01:54:20,373 I would like to talk about on 2749 01:54:20,373 --> 01:54:21,541 page 12, the building height the 2750 01:54:21,541 --> 01:54:23,541 second bullet. 2751 01:54:42,950 --> 01:54:43,829 about the step down. 2752 01:54:43,829 --> 01:54:45,632 Yes, robin's version. 2753 01:54:45,632 --> 01:54:47,632 Just to clarify. 2754 01:54:48,301 --> 01:54:51,671 We have essentially got I don't 2755 01:54:51,671 --> 01:54:53,640 want to us auto the word 2756 01:54:53,640 --> 01:54:55,575 precedent, it has legal 2757 01:54:55,575 --> 01:54:58,412 implications but this is basicly 2758 01:54:58,412 --> 01:55:00,881 what we did with the plan where 2759 01:55:00,881 --> 01:55:02,716 we revisited that original plan 2760 01:55:02,716 --> 01:55:05,716 and requested that the developer 2761 01:55:06,386 --> 01:55:07,887 include a step down to increase 2762 01:55:07,887 --> 01:55:08,221 light availability for the 2763 01:55:08,221 --> 01:55:10,221 neighborhood. 2764 01:55:12,893 --> 01:55:13,560 Is that what we're talking about 2765 01:55:13,560 --> 01:55:15,560 here? 2766 01:55:20,434 --> 01:55:22,803 >> just to clarify, that this 2767 01:55:22,803 --> 01:55:25,203 addition or substitution would 2768 01:55:26,730 --> 01:55:29,730 not have solved that problem 2769 01:55:29,543 --> 01:55:32,746 because that was caused by the 2770 01:55:32,746 --> 01:55:35,146 tremendous length of the 2771 01:55:36,830 --> 01:55:38,180 building and its location on the 2772 01:55:38,180 --> 01:55:39,486 southside and those buildings 2773 01:55:39,486 --> 01:55:41,355 that would have been completely 2774 01:55:41,355 --> 01:55:43,857 shaded would have been across 2775 01:55:43,857 --> 01:55:46,600 the street, which neither the 2776 01:55:46,600 --> 01:55:46,860 staff's original text nor this 2777 01:55:46,860 --> 01:55:48,729 would have solved. 2778 01:55:48,729 --> 01:55:50,597 >> so that's not the problem 2779 01:55:50,597 --> 01:55:52,767 we're trying to solve. 2780 01:55:52,767 --> 01:55:54,635 It is the abrupt difference in 2781 01:55:54,635 --> 01:55:55,837 the variation of height between 2782 01:55:55,837 --> 01:55:58,237 the neighborhood and this 2783 01:55:58,272 --> 01:55:59,474 structure being developed? 2784 01:55:59,474 --> 01:55:59,974 Is that I'm trying to figure 2785 01:55:59,974 --> 01:56:01,974 out. 2786 01:56:06,747 --> 01:56:08,917 >> yeah, so it is the -- 2787 01:56:08,917 --> 01:56:11,719 let's say that you have an r-4 2788 01:56:11,719 --> 01:56:13,388 with a 60 foot height the way 2789 01:56:13,388 --> 01:56:16,988 it's written now with the staff, 2790 01:56:17,392 --> 01:56:20,762 and you have a a home in one of 2791 01:56:20,762 --> 01:56:23,162 the downtown neighborhoods that 2792 01:56:24,899 --> 01:56:27,336 is one storey like we saw on 2793 01:56:27,336 --> 01:56:28,636 lexington avenue that the 2794 01:56:28,636 --> 01:56:30,636 current project under 2795 01:56:31,539 --> 01:56:33,441 construction wraps on two sides. 2796 01:56:33,441 --> 01:56:36,544 In the zone change process on 2797 01:56:36,544 --> 01:56:39,544 that one side on lexington 2798 01:56:44,352 --> 01:56:45,420 avenue, they stepped it down. 2799 01:56:45,420 --> 01:56:47,655 This in the current most of 2800 01:56:47,655 --> 01:56:50,910 those I'm not sure that parcel 2801 01:56:50,910 --> 01:56:52,927 but most of the parcels are r-4. 2802 01:56:52,927 --> 01:56:54,697 In the current version by staff, 2803 01:56:54,697 --> 01:56:57,332 they would need to step it down 2804 01:56:57,332 --> 01:56:59,332 to 60 feet. 2805 01:57:01,336 --> 01:57:02,771 So something around five or six 2806 01:57:02,771 --> 01:57:04,771 storeys. 2807 01:57:06,475 --> 01:57:10,750 Five storeys I suppose in most 2808 01:57:11,113 --> 01:57:12,181 applications. 2809 01:57:12,181 --> 01:57:14,581 This alternative language would 2810 01:57:14,617 --> 01:57:16,510 mean they need to step it down 2811 01:57:16,510 --> 01:57:19,288 to the height of the existing 2812 01:57:19,288 --> 01:57:21,257 building so the existing context 2813 01:57:21,257 --> 01:57:23,125 plus 10 feet. 2814 01:57:23,125 --> 01:57:25,828 They could go a storey higher 2815 01:57:25,828 --> 01:57:27,630 than what is currently there for 2816 01:57:27,630 --> 01:57:28,131 the initial portion of their 2817 01:57:28,131 --> 01:57:30,131 building. 2818 01:57:30,900 --> 01:57:31,134 They would have a 12 foot 2819 01:57:31,134 --> 01:57:33,134 setback. 2820 01:57:34,737 --> 01:57:35,771 So 30 some odd feet of the 2821 01:57:35,771 --> 01:57:37,874 building would need to step down 2822 01:57:37,874 --> 01:57:38,641 and then they could go up to the 2823 01:57:38,641 --> 01:57:40,641 full heighth. 2824 01:57:42,578 --> 01:57:43,212 >> and just the other 2825 01:57:43,212 --> 01:57:45,612 clarification, the portion where 2826 01:57:46,816 --> 01:57:49,186 you are talking about building a 2827 01:57:49,186 --> 01:57:51,688 project that is not as high as 2828 01:57:51,688 --> 01:57:52,856 the current required minimum 2829 01:57:52,856 --> 01:57:54,724 height, could you tell me what 2830 01:57:54,724 --> 01:57:56,326 you are thinking about in terms 2831 01:57:56,326 --> 01:57:56,626 of what that kind of 2832 01:57:56,626 --> 01:57:58,626 development. 2833 01:57:59,296 --> 01:58:00,397 >> I think commissioner nicol 2834 01:58:00,397 --> 01:58:02,699 highlighted a couple of them. 2835 01:58:02,699 --> 01:58:05,340 We have gatton park and 2836 01:58:05,340 --> 01:58:05,235 commissioner penn we have gatton 2837 01:58:05,235 --> 01:58:06,903 park. 2838 01:58:06,903 --> 01:58:07,303 >> that is not the question I'm 2839 01:58:07,303 --> 01:58:09,303 asking. 2840 01:58:09,840 --> 01:58:13,343 >> but those are the types of 2841 01:58:13,343 --> 01:58:15,612 like pocket parks, public parks, 2842 01:58:15,612 --> 01:58:16,813 of community gardens those often 2843 01:58:16,813 --> 01:58:18,415 have accessory structures that 2844 01:58:18,415 --> 01:58:19,983 do not meet minimums and they 2845 01:58:19,983 --> 01:58:23,583 are called for in our plan. 2846 01:58:24,540 --> 01:58:25,889 We have gatton park that was 2847 01:58:25,889 --> 01:58:27,910 privately developed park like 2848 01:58:27,910 --> 01:58:27,324 that would be subject to our 2849 01:58:27,324 --> 01:58:29,260 zoning. 2850 01:58:29,260 --> 01:58:30,560 They have a kiosk that serves 2851 01:58:30,560 --> 01:58:32,563 food they have a community room. 2852 01:58:32,563 --> 01:58:34,963 They have a stage. 2853 01:58:36,233 --> 01:58:39,833 At phoenix park or at pocket 2854 01:58:40,270 --> 01:58:42,906 park you might put a gazebo that 2855 01:58:42,906 --> 01:58:45,376 would not meet the minimum 2856 01:58:45,376 --> 01:58:46,477 building standards someone with 2857 01:58:46,477 --> 01:58:48,880 this provision could come and 2858 01:58:48,880 --> 01:58:51,181 show they are building a gazebo 2859 01:58:51,181 --> 01:58:52,516 and it is in compliance with the 2860 01:58:52,516 --> 01:58:55,516 downtown master plan that is 2861 01:58:57,321 --> 01:59:00,321 calling for a greener downtown. 2862 01:59:00,658 --> 01:59:03,527 The way this is written it 2863 01:59:03,527 --> 01:59:05,927 doesn't differentiate a gazebo 2864 01:59:08,899 --> 01:59:11,299 from an apartment building. 2865 01:59:11,335 --> 01:59:14,335 >> so if I'm understanding you 2866 01:59:14,639 --> 01:59:15,673 you are thinking about more of 2867 01:59:15,673 --> 01:59:17,673 an accessory structure? 2868 01:59:23,748 --> 01:59:25,316 >> well, it depends on the use. 2869 01:59:25,316 --> 01:59:27,251 I think we are -- 2870 01:59:27,251 --> 01:59:29,320 I think it would be harder for 2871 01:59:29,320 --> 01:59:30,889 someone to make the case to the 2872 01:59:30,889 --> 01:59:31,923 planning commission if they are 2873 01:59:31,923 --> 01:59:34,323 building apartments and coming 2874 01:59:34,526 --> 01:59:36,428 in and asking to go below the 2875 01:59:36,428 --> 01:59:36,895 minimums that we've set in the 2876 01:59:36,895 --> 01:59:38,895 zone. 2877 01:59:40,980

02:00:22,440 kill kilometres an hour and, 2887 02:00:25,343 --> 02:00:28,514 kiln they are doing a use that 2888 02:00:28,514 --> 02:00:30,149 is not oriented towards a three 2889 02:00:30,149 --> 02:00:31,817 storey building but it's called 2890 02:00:31,817 --> 02:00:36,170 for in the zone and called for 2891 02:00:36,189 --> 02:00:37,657 in the downtown master plan. 2892 02:00:37,657 -->

2896 02:00:44,930 --> 02:00:46,666 but I'm curious what is the 2897 02:00:46,666 --> 02:00:47,866 minimum open space for the b2 2898 02:00:47,866 --> 02:00:49,866 zone. 2899 02:00:50,703 --> 02:00:52,572 It says see article 20 for open 2900 02:00:52,572 --> 02:00:54,572 space regulations. 2901 02:01:01,648 --> 02:01:02,915 thank you, boyd. 2902 02:01:02,915 --> 02:01:05,985 Could you

2906 02:01:14,160 --> 02:01:17,897 >> the b2 zone, b2a, b2b has 5% 2907 02:01:17,897 --> 02:01:19,897 usable and 0% vegetative. 2908 02:01:20,566 --> 02:01:22,966 And the two lou. 2909 02:01:25,339 --> 02:01:28,339 >> b2a has the 5 prefers. 2910 02:01:28,441 --> 02:01:30,441 B2 has zero. 2911 02:01:31,278 --> 02:01:33,790 >> zero but usable it's 5%. 2912 02:01:33,790 --> 02:01:35,479 >> tell me that again. 2913 02:01:35,982 --> 02:01:38,985 In b2 you have to have 5% open 2914 02:01:38,985 --> 02:01:39,253 space but none has to be 2915 02:01:39,253 --> 02:01:41,253 vegetated. 2916 02:01:42,556 --> 02:01:43,560 >> usable open space but not 2917 02:01:43,560 --> 02:01:44,291 vegetated. 2918 02:01:44,291 --> 02:01:46,291 >> a patio? 2919 02:01:47,940 --> 02:01:49,129 >> we do not have usable space 2920 02:01:49,129 --> 02:01:52,499 is space that can be used it can 2921 02:01:52,499 --> 02:01:54,902 be a plaza, it can be a rooftop 2922 02:01:54,902 --> 02:01:56,360 swimming area with all the 2923 02:01:56,360 --> 02:01:58,360 amenities there. 2924 02:01:59,940 --> 02:02:01,275 That the area has to total 5%. 2925 02:02:01,275 --> 02:02:04,450 A vegetated space according to 2926 02:02:04,450 --> 02:02:05,346 the ordinance is space that has 2927 02:02:05,346 --> 02:02:06,547 vegetation. 2928 02:02:06,547 --> 02:02:08,547 70% vegetation. 2929 02:02:08,883 --> 02:02:11,819 It doesn't have to be trees or 2930 02:02:11,819 --> 02:02:14,155 shrubs it can be grass and grass 2931 02:02:14,155 --> 02:02:16,424 will qualify as the vegetated 2932 02:02:16,424 --> 02:02:19,493 space the 10% space that you are 2933 02:02:19,493 --> 02:02:23,930 getting 70% of that has to be 2934 02:02:23,397 --> 02:02:23,597 vegetated with staff like just 2935 02:02:23,597 --> 02:02:25,597 grass. 2936 02:02:26,200 --> 02:02:28,336 And so I'm not sure about how 2937 02:02:28,336 --> 02:02:30,238 much just having grass on your 2938 02:02:30,238 --> 02:02:30,905 property will add 2939 02:02:30,905 --> 02:02:32,905 environmentally. 2940 02:02:33,400 --> 02:02:33,340 But that's how our ordinance is 2941 02:02:33,340 --> 02:02:35,340 written. 2942 02:02:35,976 --> 02:02:38,979 >> so just in response to what 2943 02:02:38,979 --> 02:02:39,214 we've been hearing a lot we 2944 02:02:39,214 --> 02:02:41,214 don't -- 2945 02:02:41,215 --> 02:02:42,617 we're trying to reduce heat 2946 02:02:42,617 --> 02:02:45,386 islands because if we have a 2947 02:02:45,386 --> 02:02:47,956 built up b2 zone, we're going to 2948 02:02:47,956 --> 02:02:49,724 need relief from the constant 2949 02:02:49,724 --> 02:02:50,358 paving and asphalt I think that 2950 02:02:50,358 --> 02:02:52,293 makes sense. 2951 02:02:52,293 --> 02:02:55,764 so we don't have a lot of open 2952 02:02:55,764 --> 02:02:57,332 space in b2. 2953 02:02:57,332 --> 02:02:58,967 As we leave downtown to the 2954 02:02:58,967 --> 02:03:00,768 businesses that surround it 2955 02:03:00,768 --> 02:03:04,368 there should be a transition in 2956 02:03:06,141 --> 02:03:08,944 what kind of green it might be 2957 02:03:08,944 --> 02:03:12,281 in appearance that is why sorry 2958 02:03:12,281 --> 02:03:13,150 boyd, I think commissioner 2959 02:03:13,150 --> 02:03:15,415 michler's proposals make sense 2960 02:03:16,551 --> 02:03:18,520 in terms of providing a visual 2961 02:03:18,520 --> 02:03:21,323 transition and a transition from 2962 02:03:21,323 --> 02:03:21,823 a very dense to still dense but 2963 02:03:21,823 --> 02:03:23,823 some green. 2964 02:03:24,426 --> 02:03:26,294 And I also think his 2965 02:03:26,294 --> 02:03:28,694 recommendations about the step 2966 02:03:29,465 --> 02:03:33,101 down in the b2b, does something 2967 02:03:33,101 --> 02:03:35,370 more in keeping with the 2968 02:03:35,370 --> 02:03:36,672 adjacent property perhaps not as 2969 02:03:36,672 --> 02:03:37,906 it's built now is very 2970 02:03:37,906 --> 02:03:39,341 appropriate and we've heard how 2971 02:03:39,341 --> 02:03:40,342 much people are interested in 2972 02:03:40,342 --> 02:03:42,342 having that. 2973 02:03:42,945 --> 02:03:44,614 That is just what I think. 2974 02:03:44,614 --> 02:03:46,614 >> thank you. 2975 02:03:48,884 --> 02:03:50,884 >> clarify one thing? 2976 02:03:51,253 --> 02:03:53,322 Just, boyd, can you just to be 2977 02:03:53,322 --> 02:03:55,557 make sure we're
