00:18:19.342 --> 00:18:21.209
Chair Frasier, um, members of the planning commission. um, so 00:18:21.211 --> 00:18:22.377
the planning commission. um, so this is a nonprofit
00:18:22.379 --> 00:18:23.345
this is a nonprofit organization, um, and there was
00:18:23.347 --> 00:18:24.312
organization, um, and there was an overview included in the
00:18:24.314 --> 00:18:26.681
an overview included in the packet, um. I do, I don't know
00:18:26.683 --> 00:18:28.717
packet, um. I do, I don't know Dean, if you want to speak to
00:18:28.719 --> 00:18:30.185
Dean, if you want to speak to the nature of um the type of um. 00:18:30.187 --> 00:18:34.422
the nature of um the type of um. Uh, events that you're looking
00:18:34.424 --> 00:18:36.124
Uh, events that you're looking to host ultimately, but I, I
00:18:36.126 --> 00:18:38.059
to host ultimately, but I, I know it primarily functions as
00:18:38.061 --> 00:18:41.830
know it primarily functions as a motorcycle, um, club, and um. 00:18:41.832 --> 00:18:44.265
a motorcycle, um, club, and um. It, it would have its patrons
00:18:44.267 --> 00:18:47.168
It, it would have its patrons that I understand are primarily
00:18:47.170 --> 00:18:49.070
that I understand are primarily uh military veterans, um, as a
00:18:49.072 --> 00:18:49.804
uh military veterans, um, as a gathering spot for their
00:18:49.806 --> 00:18:51.072
gathering spot for their organization, and it would be a 00:18:51.074 --> 00:18:55.343
organization, and it would be a private organization. OK, um, I
00:18:55.345 --> 00:18:57.579
private organization. OK, um, I get that, so this will not
00:18:57.581 --> 00:18:58.346
get that, so this will not necessarily be open to uh to to
00:18:58.348 --> 00:19:00.548
necessarily be open to uh to to the public. It's gonna be, uh, 00:19:00.550 --> 00:19:04.418
the public. It's gonna be, uh, you know, like a private club
00:19:04.420 --> 00:19:06.921
you know, like a private club with a distinct membership. Uh,
00:19:06.923 --> 00:19:07.855
with a distinct membership. Uh, Frazier, uh, members of the
00:19:07.857 --> 00:19:09.090
Frazier, uh, members of the planning commission, that, that
00:19:09.092 --> 00:19:11.292
planning commission, that, that is my understanding. is that 00:19:11.294 --> 00:19:13.261
is my understanding. is that this would be um available to
00:19:13.263 --> 00:19:17.031
this would be um available to private club members. OK, yeah.
00:19:17.033 --> 00:19:19.400
private club members. OK, yeah. Mr. Chair, or Chair Fraser

Mr. Chair, or Chair Fraser rather, um, and Commissioner 00:19:20.604 --> 00:19:22.337
rather, um, and Commissioner Odama, if I could add to that,
00:19:22.339 --> 00:19:23.738
Odama, if I could add to that, um, you know, the, the
00:19:23.740 --> 00:19:25.206
um, you know, the, the conditional use permit is, is
00:19:25.208 --> 00:19:26.474
conditional use permit is, is for, it's for two different
00:19:26.476 --> 00:19:27.609
for, it's for two different uses, so there's the social
00:19:27.611 --> 00:19:30.078
uses, so there's the social club that you're asking about, 00:19:30.080 --> 00:19:31.046
club that you're asking about, um, and, and that, that's the
00:19:31.048 --> 00:19:32.681
um, and, and that, that's the aspect that is the, the private
00:19:32.683 --> 00:19:35.750
aspect that is the, the private part. The second condition you
00:19:35.752 --> 00:19:36.250
part. The second condition you conditionally use permit
00:19:36.252 --> 00:19:38.519
conditionally use permit requests. It's for a banquet
00:19:38.521 --> 00:19:40.889
requests. It's for a banquet hall, and that gives them, that 00:19:40.891 --> 00:19:43.858

to to have events there that, that could be, um, this isn't.
00:19:48.064 --> 00:19:49.530
that could be, um, this isn't. This isn't to say that this is
00:19:49.532 --> 00:19:50.498
This isn't to say that this is how they would operate, but 00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:52.667
how they would operate, but they would have the option to,
00:19:52.669 --> 00:19:54.836
they would have the option to, you know, rent the space out
00:19:54.838 --> 00:19:57.372
you know, rent the space out for events by third parties, uh,
00:19:57.374 --> 00:19:58.706
for events by third parties, uh, with that, um. With a banquet
00:19:58.708 --> 00:20:04.045
with that, um. With a banquet hall. OK, uh, thank you. Just 00:20:04.047 --> 00:20:06.381
hall. OK, uh, thank you. Just another follow up when you rent
00:20:06.383 --> 00:20:09.917
another follow up when you rent the event, I noticed something
00:20:09.919 --> 00:20:12.587
the event, I noticed something here that uh do they have a 00:20:12.589 --> 00:20:14.489
here that uh do they have a liquor license or they have the
00:20:14.491 --> 00:20:15.790
liquor license or they have the ability in the future to uh to
00:20:15.792 --> 00:20:18.726

there's not currently a liquor license assigned to this

license assigned to this property. So that would be a
00:20:24.768 --> 00:20:25.533
property. So that would be a separate application. I mean
00:20:25.535 --> 00:20:26.534

than in Brooklyn. Eventually, well right now I said we're
00:27:44.106 --> 00:27:46.107
well right now I said we're growing. And it's gonna be to
00:27:46.109 --> 00:27:47.041
growing. And it's gonna be to the point where we're going to
00:27:47.043 --> 00:27:50.678
the point where we're going to really expand. But as of right 00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:52.613
really expand. But as of right now it's just it's just here
00:27:52.615 --> 00:27:54.014
now it's just it's just here right now, no, I just, I mean,
00:27:54.016 --> 00:27:55.049
right now, no, I just, I mean, I'm not trying to, I just
00:27:55.051 --> 00:27:58.219
I'm not trying to, I just thought it was, you know. Like,
00:27:58.221 --> 00:28:00.621
thought it was, you know. Like, you know, it's growing so if 00:28:00.623 --> 00:28:01.622
you know, it's growing so if this is the first this is the
00:28:01.624 --> 00:28:03.024
this is the first this is the first, if this is the first
00:28:03.026 --> 00:28:04.425
first, if this is the first time that you're trying to put
00:28:04.427 --> 00:28:06.060
time that you're trying to put something together like that. I
00:28:06.062 --> 00:28:06.994
something together like that. I mean, there's nothing wrong
00:28:06.996 --> 00:28:08.362
mean, there's nothing wrong with that. You got to start
00:28:08.364 --> 00:28:10.331
with that. You got to start from somewhere. So I'm not 00:28:10.333 --> 00:28:11.432
from somewhere. So I'm not trying to right now. I'm not
00:28:11.434 --> 00:28:13.200
trying to right now. I'm not trying to put it down in, in
00:28:13.202 --> 00:28:14.802
trying to put it down in, in that way, but the reason I was
00:28:14.804 --> 00:28:16.571
that way, but the reason I was asking is the fact that that so
00:28:16.573 --> 00:28:18.606
asking is the fact that that so that we can have a picture or
00:28:18.608 --> 00:28:20.040
that we can have a picture or something to look at, you know, 00:28:20.042 --> 00:28:21.609
something to look at, you know, we say, OK, we can compare it
00:28:21.611 --> 00:28:24.545
we say, OK, we can compare it to this or to that, but if, if
00:28:24.547 --> 00:28:26.080
to this or to that, but if, if this is something more
00:28:26.082 --> 00:28:26.948
this is something more compatible, I'll say more like
00:28:26.950 --> 00:28:32.887
compatible, I'll say more like a. Like a VFW or X lounge. So 00:28:32.889 --> 00:28:35.689
a. Like a VFW or X lounge. So I'll get away. OK, so in, in
00:28:35.691 --> 00:28:37.224
I'll get away. OK, so in, in this way are they like
00:28:37.226 --> 00:28:38.025
this way are they like registration people have to
00:28:38.027 --> 00:28:40.661

00:32:22.485 --> 00:32:24.051
So in front of you, there's a chart with all of the
00:32:24.053 --> 00:32:25.186
chart with all of the administrative changes that are
00:32:25.188 --> 00:32:27.454
administrative changes that are being made, um, starting with
00:32:27.456 --> 00:32:30.324
being made, um, starting with definitions, we are adding a 00:32:30.326 --> 00:32:33.460
definitions, we are adding a definition for fence, um, the
00:32:33.462 --> 00:32:35.896
definition for fence, um, the Text amendment for the MERA or
00:32:35.898 --> 00:32:36.764
Text amendment for the MERA or the Mississippi River corridor
00:32:36.766 --> 00:32:38.866
the Mississippi River corridor Critical area. Um, that was
00:32:38.868 --> 00:32:40.401
Critical area. Um, that was adopted a year ago on Friday, 00:32:40.403 --> 00:32:44.738
adopted a year ago on Friday, um. Has provisions for fences
00:32:44.740 --> 00:32:47.141
um. Has provisions for fences with no firm definition. So to
00:32:47.143 --> 00:32:48.609
with no firm definition. So to ensure that we are equitably
00:32:48.611 --> 00:32:50.177
ensure that we are equitably treating our residents. We 00:32:50.179 --> 00:32:52.012
treating our residents. We wanted to adopt a definition to
00:32:52.014 --> 00:32:52.880
wanted to adopt a definition to make sure that everyone is
00:32:52.882 --> 00:32:55.148
make sure that everyone is being treated the same. Um,
00:32:55.150 --> 00:32:57.451
being treated the same. Um, with that, we're also amending
00:32:57.453 --> 00:32:59.987
with that, we're also amending our commercial vehicle. Um
00:32:59.989 --> 00:33:03.724
our commercial vehicle. Um Definition Staff had previously 00:33:03.726 --> 00:33:05.659
Definition Staff had previously gone through the process of
00:33:05.661 --> 00:33:07.127
gone through the process of getting that definition amended
00:33:07.129 --> 00:33:09.296
getting that definition amended in line with our commercial
00:33:09.298 --> 00:33:10.163
in line with our commercial vehicle parking ordinance back 00:33:10.165 --> 00:33:12.599
vehicle parking ordinance back in 2022. Uh, with the
00:33:12.601 --> 00:33:14.201
in 2022. Uh, with the compilation of all of the
00:33:14.203 --> 00:33:16.804
compilation of all of the zoning text amendments, um.
00:33:16.806 --> 00:33:18.539
zoning text amendments, um. Just over the years that came
00:33:18.541 --> 00:33:20.140
Just over the years that came in piecemeal when we're doing 00:33:20.142 --> 00:33:22.075
in piecemeal when we're doing the overall zoning code. Some
00:33:22.077 --> 00:33:23.010
the overall zoning code. Some of these amendments got missed
00:33:23.012 --> 00:33:25.679
of these amendments got missed when we were in our overall
00:33:25.681 --> 00:33:27.881
when we were in our overall document. So the text that's
00:33:27.883 --> 00:33:30.785
document. So the text that's before you is what exactly what 00:33:30.787 --> 00:33:31.852
before you is what exactly what was adopted in 2022, just for
00:33:31.854 --> 00:33:35.589
was adopted in 2022, just for that update. Um, the next thing
00:33:35.591 --> 00:33:38.058
that update. Um, the next thing is site plan review. We're
00:33:38.060 --> 00:33:40.027
is site plan review. We're adding the language for minor 00:33:40.029 --> 00:33:41.295
adding the language for minor site plan expansions back in.
00:33:41.297 --> 00:33:43.664
site plan expansions back in. This is the exact same text
00:33:43.666 --> 00:33:45.332
This is the exact same text that we previously had without
00:33:45.334 --> 00:33:48.035
that we previously had without this, uh, text change any site
00:33:48.037 --> 00:33:48.902
this, uh, text change any site plan changes would require a
00:33:48.904 --> 00:33:50.737
plan changes would require a formal site plan review. So 00:33:50.739 --> 00:33:53.139
formal site plan review. So this body would have to hold
00:33:53.141 --> 00:33:55.509
this body would have to hold public hearings for minor
00:33:55.511 --> 00:33:56.777
public hearings for minor alterations to properties such
00:33:56.779 --> 00:33:59.780
alterations to properties such as an entry. Way where they're
00:33:59.782 --> 00:34:01.048
as an entry. Way where they're they're looking to modify the 00:34:01.050 --> 00:34:03.384
they're looking to modify the outside, so this is the text
00:34:03.386 --> 00:34:05.118
outside, so this is the text amendment is anything less than
00:34:05.120 --> 00:34:06.820
amendment is anything less than 10% of the site or building
00:34:06.822 --> 00:34:10.324
10% of the site or building footprint. Um, can be handled 00:34:10.326 --> 00:34:11.058
footprint. Um, can be handled by administrative review by
00:34:11.060 --> 00:34:12.659
by administrative review by staff. So these are just for
00:34:12.661 --> 00:34:15.963
staff. So these are just for minor updates. Uh, the next
00:34:15.965 --> 00:34:17.163
minor updates. Uh, the next section, minimum floor area
00:34:17.165 --> 00:34:20.968
section, minimum floor area ratio. So this is a little bit 00:34:20.970 --> 00:34:23.203
ratio. So this is a little bit more involved than just an
00:34:23.205 --> 00:34:25.606
more involved than just an administrative review. This is
00:34:25.608 --> 00:34:27.574
administrative review. This is establishing a minimum FAR or
00:34:27.576 --> 00:34:30.177
establishing a minimum FAR or floor area ratio in all of the 00:34:30.179 --> 00:34:31.645
floor area ratio in all of the mixed-use zoning districts, um,
00:34:31.647 --> 00:34:33.514
mixed-use zoning districts, um, when we went through the 610
00:34:33.516 --> 00:34:35.415
when we went through the 610 corridor study or the
00:34:35.417 --> 00:34:37.751
corridor study or the moratorium, um, a minimum floor
00:34:37.753 --> 00:34:39.386
moratorium, um, a minimum floor area ratio was established for
00:34:39.388 --> 00:34:40.687
area ratio was established for our mixed-use zoning district. 00:34:40.689 --> 00:34:44.291
our mixed-use zoning district. Um With following conversations
00:34:44.293 --> 00:34:45.693
Um With following conversations that have been had between
00:34:45.695 --> 00:34:48.929
that have been had between staff and city council, um,
00:34:48.931 --> 00:34:50.196
staff and city council, um, staff realized that it was the 00:34:50.198 --> 00:34:52.533
staff realized that it was the expectation of counsel that a
00:34:52.535 --> 00:34:53.734
expectation of counsel that a minimum floor area ratio should
00:34:53.736 --> 00:34:55.936
minimum floor area ratio should be established for all of our
00:34:55.938 --> 00:34:58.338
be established for all of our mixed use zoning districts. So
00:34:58.340 --> 00:35:01.508
mixed use zoning districts. So with that we followed the, um, 00:35:01.510 --> 00:35:02.609
with that we followed the, um, the research that was provided
00:35:02.611 --> 00:35:05.178
the research that was provided during that corridor study. And
00:35:05.180 --> 00:35:06.413
during that corridor study. And compiled it with minimum floor
00:35:06.415 --> 00:35:07.814
compiled it with minimum floor area ratios, that makes sense
00:35:07.816 --> 00:35:10.651
area ratios, that makes sense in those zoning districts. Um, 00:35:10.653 --> 00:35:11.985
in those zoning districts. Um, the next section is minimum
00:35:11.987 --> 00:35:14.855
the next section is minimum required open space. We have
00:35:14.857 --> 00:35:17.057
required open space. We have another section that is also
00:35:17.059 --> 00:35:18.626
another section that is also dealing with impervious surface,
00:35:18.628 --> 00:35:21.094
dealing with impervious surface, they conflicted. So we're 00:35:21.096 --> 00:35:22.462
they conflicted. So we're reconciling those standards. Um,
00:35:22.464 --> 00:35:24.364
reconciling those standards. Um, there were only conflicts in
00:35:24.366 --> 00:35:28.835
there were only conflicts in our B2, BP, and I districts,
00:35:28.837 --> 00:35:30.837
our B2, BP, and I districts, which is our general business, 00:35:30.839 --> 00:35:32.940
which is our general business, business park and industrial.
00:35:32.942 --> 00:35:33.907
business park and industrial. The percentages that were
00:35:33.909 --> 00:35:34.775
The percentages that were required for both did not work
00:35:34.777 --> 00:35:38.712
required for both did not work out. Uh, the next section is
00:35:38.714 --> 00:35:40.047
out. Uh, the next section is outdoor storage requirements. 00:35:40.049 --> 00:35:41.982
outdoor storage requirements. Um, with the overall zoning
00:35:41.984 --> 00:35:44.885
Um, with the overall zoning code update, we adopted as a
00:35:44.887 --> 00:35:46.420
code update, we adopted as a permitted accessory use in all
00:35:46.422 --> 00:35:47.788
permitted accessory use in all of the districts that would
00:35:47.790 --> 00:35:51.625
of the districts that would allow for commercial uses. Uh, 00:35:51.627 --> 00:35:52.659
allow for commercial uses. Uh, without adopting any standards
00:35:52.661 --> 00:35:54.995
without adopting any standards for the B1, B2, or mixed-use
00:35:54.997 --> 00:35:58.432
for the B1, B2, or mixed-use zoning districts, so. With this,
00:35:58.434 --> 00:36:00.968
zoning districts, so. With this, staff use the same setback 00:36:00.970 --> 00:36:01.502
staff use the same setback requirements for parking,
00:36:01.504 --> 00:36:02.669
requirements for parking, because if we wouldn't want
00:36:02.671 --> 00:36:04.738
because if we wouldn't want someone to park a car there, we
00:36:04.740 --> 00:36:06.673
someone to park a car there, we probably don't want them to be
00:36:06.675 --> 00:36:07.541
probably don't want them to be storing their outdoor storage
00:36:07.543 --> 00:36:09.543
storing their outdoor storage goods. That close to the
00:36:09.545 --> 00:36:12.346
goods. That close to the property line. Um, and then the 00:36:12.348 --> 00:36:14.582
property line. Um, and then the final one is in our parking
00:36:14.584 --> 00:36:16.383
final one is in our parking section where it reintroducing
00:36:16.385 --> 00:36:17.050
section where it reintroducing language requiring vehicles be
00:36:17.052 --> 00:36:18.652
language requiring vehicles be parked on a paved surface. This
00:36:18.654 --> 00:36:20.454
parked on a paved surface. This was brought to our attention by 00:36:20.456 --> 00:36:21.121
was brought to our attention by our environmental health team.
00:36:21.123 --> 00:36:23.824
our environmental health team. This is one of their most
00:36:23.826 --> 00:36:24.692
This is one of their most frequently used enforcement
00:36:24.694 --> 00:36:26.626
frequently used enforcement actions. Um, this is meant to
00:36:26.628 --> 00:36:28.261
actions. Um, this is meant to protect our, our groundwater,
00:36:28.263 --> 00:36:30.631
protect our, our groundwater, making sure that we don't have 00:36:30.633 --> 00:36:31.898
making sure that we don't have vehicles leaking fluid into the
00:36:31.900 --> 00:36:36.603
vehicles leaking fluid into the ground. Um, this slide may look
00:36:36.605 --> 00:36:37.871
ground. Um, this slide may look familiar to any of our
00:36:37.873 --> 00:36:40.273
familiar to any of our commissioners who were with us 00:36:40.275 --> 00:36:43.209
commissioners who were with us during the 60 corridor study,
00:36:43.211 --> 00:36:44.711
during the 60 corridor study, this explains what floor area
00:36:44.713 --> 00:36:46.079
this explains what floor area ratio is just so that everyone
00:36:46.081 --> 00:36:49.316
ratio is just so that everyone is on the same page. Um, so
00:36:49.318 --> 00:36:51.818
is on the same page. Um, so this objective is to ensure 00:36:51.820 --> 00:36:52.485
this objective is to ensure that parcels aren't
00:36:52.487 --> 00:36:53.820
that parcels aren't underdeveloped. By setting this
00:36:53.822 --> 00:36:56.623
underdeveloped. By setting this floor area ratio, we can We
00:36:56.625 --> 00:36:58.058
floor area ratio, we can We have a bit more control to make
00:36:58.060 --> 00:36:59.026
have a bit more control to make sure that we're not just going
00:36:59.028 --> 00:37:02.429
sure that we're not just going to end up with large paved 00:37:02.431 --> 00:37:03.530
to end up with large paved portions, small buildings, and
00:37:03.532 --> 00:37:05.399
portions, small buildings, and it's going to meet city
00:37:05.401 --> 00:37:06.866
it's going to meet city council's goal of the tax
00:37:06.868 --> 00:37:10.804
council's goal of the tax increase, tax base increase. Um 00:37:10.806 --> 00:37:13.273
increase, tax base increase. Um And so, whoops, here is a
00:37:13.275 --> 00:37:15.542
And so, whoops, here is a little bit of a better
00:37:15.544 --> 00:37:17.210
little bit of a better understanding just so that you
00:37:17.212 --> 00:37:18.345
understanding just so that you can understand that these
00:37:18.347 --> 00:37:19.546
can understand that these minimum floor area ratios, they
00:37:19.548 --> 00:37:21.048
minimum floor area ratios, they can look very different. So to 00:37:21.050 --> 00:37:22.315
can look very different. So to meet that same goal, we're
00:37:22.317 --> 00:37:24.718
meet that same goal, we're gonna, we could get multiple
00:37:24.720 --> 00:37:26.253
gonna, we could get multiple stories, um, or different
00:37:26.255 --> 00:37:29.656
stories, um, or different widths of the building. And
00:37:29.658 --> 00:37:30.624
widths of the building. And with that staff recommends 00:37:30.626 --> 00:37:32.025
with that staff recommends approval of the zoning tax
00:37:32.027 --> 00:37:36.230
approval of the zoning tax amendment as proposed. Thank
00:37:36.232 --> 00:37:43.970
amendment as proposed. Thank you. So, um, anyone from the 00:37:43.972 --> 00:37:45.339
you. So, um, anyone from the public would like to ask any
00:37:45.341 --> 00:37:51.745
public would like to ask any questions? All right. Here, 00:37:51.747 --> 00:37:53.580
questions? All right. Here, none will close the public
00:37:53.582 --> 00:37:55.949
none will close the public hearing and bring it back to,
00:37:55.951 --> 00:37:58.618
hearing and bring it back to, um, the commissioners. Um, so I
00:37:58.620 --> 00:38:00.287
um, the commissioners. Um, so I have a question in regards to 00:38:00.289 --> 00:38:05.892
have a question in regards to um. You know, extending the,
00:38:05.894 --> 00:38:07.294
um. You know, extending the, the FAR requirements outside
00:38:07.296 --> 00:38:08.161
the FAR requirements outside what we had originally
00:38:08.163 --> 00:38:11.898
what we had originally discussed, and I'm curious. 00:38:11.900 --> 00:38:15.168
discussed, and I'm curious. Given that they There aren't a
00:38:15.170 --> 00:38:16.336
Given that they There aren't a lot of development in those
00:38:16.338 --> 00:38:17.738
lot of development in those other areas. I was wondering
00:38:17.740 --> 00:38:21.175
other areas. I was wondering what's the What was the kind of 00:38:21.177 --> 00:38:23.643
what's the What was the kind of thought behind that. Thank you,
00:38:23.645 --> 00:38:25.479
thought behind that. Thank you, Chair Frasier, members of the
00:38:25.481 --> 00:38:28.281
Chair Frasier, members of the planning commission, um, with
00:38:28.283 --> 00:38:30.650
planning commission, um, with that, and the goal isn't only 00:38:30.652 --> 00:38:32.586
that, and the goal isn't only for development. The goal is
00:38:32.588 --> 00:38:34.287
for development. The goal is for good development, making
00:38:34.289 --> 00:38:37.491
for good development, making sure that the, the final green
00:38:37.493 --> 00:38:38.191
sure that the, the final green spaces and greenfield
00:38:38.193 --> 00:38:40.861
spaces and greenfield development sites within the 00:38:40.863 --> 00:38:42.061
development sites within the city aren't underutilized
00:38:42.063 --> 00:38:43.863
city aren't underutilized because we're um with the
00:38:43.865 --> 00:38:45.766
because we're um with the Northwest growth area, those
00:38:45.768 --> 00:38:47.634
Northwest growth area, those are the remaining 700 acres of
00:38:47.636 --> 00:38:50.003
are the remaining 700 acres of greenfield within the city. We 00:38:50.005 --> 00:38:51.404
greenfield within the city. We have one off sites throughout
00:38:51.406 --> 00:38:53.140
have one off sites throughout the city, so making sure that
00:38:53.142 --> 00:38:54.608
the city, so making sure that those are utilized to their
00:38:54.610 --> 00:38:56.777
those are utilized to their best extent to ensure that the
00:38:56.779 --> 00:38:58.746

clearly what's within, you know, minor definitions is uh You
00:39:57.939 --> 00:40:00.373
minor definitions is uh You know, one question I have, uh, 00:40:00.375 --> 00:40:01.642
know, one question I have, uh, maybe somewhere we have to add
00:40:01.644 --> 00:40:04.344
maybe somewhere we have to add the footnote, maybe define what
00:40:04.346 --> 00:40:06.013
the footnote, maybe define what that means, uh, clearly so that
00:40:06.015 --> 00:40:09.583
that means, uh, clearly so that it's understood. And the other
00:40:09.585 --> 00:40:10.918
it's understood. And the other question I have, maybe this one 00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:15.655
question I have, maybe this one is uh just uh clarification. In
00:40:15.657 --> 00:40:17.023
is uh just uh clarification. In terms of the minimum floor area
00:40:17.025 --> 00:40:23.397
terms of the minimum floor area ratio. So So this change will 00:40:23.399 --> 00:40:25.532
ratio. So So this change will bring more, I mean less green
00:40:25.534 --> 00:40:30.236
bring more, I mean less green area, right? More of not the 00:40:30.238 --> 00:40:32.239
area, right? More of not the least, OK. I, that's what, you
00:40:32.241 --> 00:40:35.542
least, OK. I, that's what, you know, how I. Frazier members of
00:40:35.544 --> 00:40:37.010
know, how I. Frazier members of the planning commission. I, I
00:40:37.012 --> 00:40:38.578
the planning commission. I, I very much appreciate those
00:40:38.580 --> 00:40:39.312
very much appreciate those questions. Commissioner Wacko,
00:40:39.314 --> 00:40:40.914
questions. Commissioner Wacko, and that, that is a really good 00:40:40.916 --> 00:40:41.648
and that, that is a really good lead into this following
00:40:41.650 --> 00:40:44.918
lead into this following question. Um, for your first
00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:47.754
question. Um, for your first question, uh, there are, there
00:40:47.756 --> 00:40:50.657
question, uh, there are, there is a list of what exempts a 00:40:50.659 --> 00:40:52.125
is a list of what exempts a site plan review from being a
00:40:52.127 --> 00:40:53.560
site plan review from being a formal site plan review that's
00:40:53.562 --> 00:40:55.061
formal site plan review that's brought before this body. Um, I
00:40:55.063 --> 00:40:56.563
brought before this body. Um, I don't off the top of my head
00:40:56.565 --> 00:41:00.100
don't off the top of my head for the first time, can't list 00:41:00.102 --> 00:41:01.501
for the first time, can't list the actual criteria. The
00:41:01.503 --> 00:41:03.837
the actual criteria. The majority are, um, so single
00:41:03.839 --> 00:41:05.705
majority are, um, so single family residences, when we get
00:41:05.707 --> 00:41:06.640
family residences, when we get building permits for houses, as
00:41:06.642 --> 00:41:08.108
building permits for houses, as long as they meet the zoning
00:41:08.110 --> 00:41:09.075
long as they meet the zoning codes, they aren't required to
00:41:09.077 --> 00:41:11.478
codes, they aren't required to come before this body, so 00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:13.747
come before this body, so residential construction, um.
00:41:13.749 --> 00:41:16.249
residential construction, um. We, we have a number of other
00:41:16.251 --> 00:41:18.051
We, we have a number of other criteria of what would exempt
00:41:18.053 --> 00:41:20.086
criteria of what would exempt them. They're all spelled out, 00:41:20.088 --> 00:41:21.922
them. They're all spelled out, if I remember correctly, this
00:41:21.924 --> 00:41:24.491
if I remember correctly, this tax amendment is subpart E, so
00:41:24.493 --> 00:41:25.893
tax amendment is subpart E, so there's subparts A through D
00:41:25.895 --> 00:41:28.695
there's subparts A through D that are also outlined as to
00:41:28.697 --> 00:41:31.231
that are also outlined as to what would qualify them for an 00:41:31.233 --> 00:41:33.100
what would qualify them for an administrative review. It's at
00:41:33.102 --> 00:41:34.534
administrative review. It's at the the this section is at the
00:41:34.536 --> 00:41:37.404
the the this section is at the bottom of the first page of the
00:41:37.406 --> 00:41:38.771
bottom of the first page of the ordinance and the attachments,
00:41:38.773 --> 00:41:40.707
ordinance and the attachments, the part that starts out. It 00:41:40.709 --> 00:41:41.775
the part that starts out. It says site plan review right at
00:41:41.777 --> 00:41:45.178
says site plan review right at the top of the section. And
00:41:45.180 --> 00:41:46.646
the top of the section. And there it lays out everything
00:41:46.648 --> 00:41:49.148
there it lays out everything here and was just outlining,
00:41:49.150 --> 00:41:50.683
here and was just outlining, and this isn't, this isn't new. 00:41:50.685 --> 00:41:52.486
and this isn't, this isn't new. This was, you know, this is
00:41:52.488 --> 00:41:53.854
This was, you know, this is just a clarification. Um. This
00:41:53.856 --> 00:41:54.921
just a clarification. Um. This is, this has been in the zoning
00:41:54.923 --> 00:41:59.659
is, this has been in the zoning code for. A very long time. It
00:41:59.661 --> 00:42:01.027
code for. A very long time. It was, it was brought to our 00:42:01.029 --> 00:42:03.063
was, it was brought to our attention that it had been
00:42:03.065 --> 00:42:04.364
attention that it had been overlooked when we did the
00:42:04.366 --> 00:42:06.934
overlooked when we did the zoning code update due to, um,
00:42:06.936 --> 00:42:07.801
zoning code update due to, um, there is a religious
00:42:07.803 --> 00:42:08.901
there is a religious institution within the city
00:42:08.903 --> 00:42:11.204
institution within the city that is looking to expand. They, 00:42:11.206 --> 00:42:13.640
that is looking to expand. They, they owned the whole building.
00:42:13.642 --> 00:42:14.607
they owned the whole building. There were multiple tenancies,
00:42:14.609 --> 00:42:16.276
There were multiple tenancies, so they had renters, and now
00:42:16.278 --> 00:42:17.577
so they had renters, and now the renters have all moved and
00:42:17.579 --> 00:42:19.012
the renters have all moved and they own the building all right.
00:42:19.014 --> 00:42:20.947
they own the building all right. So they're looking to do 00:42:20.949 --> 00:42:22.515
So they're looking to do modifications to the interior
00:42:22.517 --> 00:42:24.250
modifications to the interior of the building to suit the
00:42:24.252 --> 00:42:25.818
of the building to suit the needs of their congregation,
00:42:25.820 --> 00:42:28.121
needs of their congregation, but they also were hoping to
00:42:28.123 --> 00:42:29.055
but they also were hoping to add entryways. So I think the
00:42:29.057 --> 00:42:30.823
add entryways. So I think the total score. footage of the 00:42:30.825 --> 00:42:33.226
total score. footage of the development. Building that they
00:42:33.228 --> 00:42:35.228
development. Building that they wanted to put on the site for
00:42:35.230 --> 00:42:36.363
wanted to put on the site for each entryway was like 12
00:42:36.365 --> 00:42:40.467
each entryway was like 12 square feet. Which I, I don't 00:42:40.469 --> 00:42:41.467
square feet. Which I, I don't know how you feel about that,
00:42:41.469 --> 00:42:42.536
know how you feel about that, but I feel like that would be
00:42:42.538 --> 00:42:44.838
but I feel like that would be kind of silly to require them
00:42:44.840 --> 00:42:47.474
kind of silly to require them to pay all of the application
00:42:47.476 --> 00:42:49.642
to pay all of the application fees and have a public hearing
00:42:49.644 --> 00:42:51.545
fees and have a public hearing for that 12 square feet when we 00:42:51.547 --> 00:42:53.546
for that 12 square feet when we had previously been allowing it,
00:42:53.548 --> 00:42:55.548
had previously been allowing it, um, and, and for this body, it,
00:42:55.550 --> 00:42:57.484
um, and, and for this body, it, it feels like you have better
00:42:57.486 --> 00:43:00.587
it feels like you have better uses of your time. Um. Yeah, I, 00:43:00.589 --> 00:43:01.988
uses of your time. Um. Yeah, I, I really appreciate that change,
00:43:01.990 --> 00:43:03.523
I really appreciate that change, uh, that's, that's really very
00:43:03.525 --> 00:43:05.992
uh, that's, that's really very good, uh, just maybe just
00:43:05.994 --> 00:43:08.729
good, uh, just maybe just clarity to add into it and when
00:43:08.731 --> 00:43:11.197
clarity to add into it and when do I need site review and 00:43:11.199 --> 00:43:12.265
do I need site review and what's what's within minor and
00:43:12.267 --> 00:43:15.201
what's what's within minor and uh. And that's, you know, thank
00:43:15.203 --> 00:43:16.603
uh. And that's, you know, thank you for that explanation and
00:43:16.605 --> 00:43:19.172
you for that explanation and maybe one last question is uh.
00:43:19.174 --> 00:43:20.907
maybe one last question is uh. There is a, you know, parking 00:43:20.909 --> 00:43:25.645
There is a, you know, parking is uh area, um. There are times,
00:43:25.647 --> 00:43:28.548
is uh area, um. There are times, you know, Brooklyn Park has
00:43:28.550 --> 00:43:30.517
you know, Brooklyn Park has lots of attractions and 00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:31.985
lots of attractions and sometimes religious
00:43:31.987 --> 00:43:32.886
sometimes religious institutions of congregations
00:43:32.888 --> 00:43:35.155
institutions of congregations and only for short term, that
00:43:35.157 --> 00:43:37.257
and only for short term, that sometimes, you know, cars get
00:43:37.259 --> 00:43:39.893
sometimes, you know, cars get parked when there's no spaces.
00:43:39.895 --> 00:43:43.596
parked when there's no spaces. On the paved area. or in in the 00:43:43.598 --> 00:43:45.532
On the paved area. or in in the sports areas, uh, would that
00:43:45.534 --> 00:43:47.300
sports areas, uh, would that fall within, you know, would,
00:43:47.302 --> 00:43:48.101
fall within, you know, would, would there be ticket or would
00:43:48.103 --> 00:43:51.037
would there be ticket or would there be, you know, would this? 00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:52.372
there be, you know, would this? Ordinance, uh, prohibit those
00:43:52.374 --> 00:43:56.676
Ordinance, uh, prohibit those kind of. Short term Thank you,
00:43:56.678 --> 00:43:58.144
kind of. Short term Thank you, Chair Frazier and members of
00:43:58.146 --> 00:43:59.479
Chair Frazier and members of the planning commission know in
00:43:59.481 --> 00:44:02.015
the planning commission know in this instance, this is for when 00:44:02.017 --> 00:44:02.849
this instance, this is for when our environmental health team
00:44:02.851 --> 00:44:05.351
our environmental health team goes out to do, we do proactive
00:44:05.353 --> 00:44:07.320
goes out to do, we do proactive sweeps throughout the community,
00:44:07.322 --> 00:44:08.822
sweeps throughout the community, um, to ensure community
00:44:08.824 --> 00:44:10.991
um, to ensure community wellness and our um. Our 00:44:10.993 --> 00:44:11.958
wellness and our um. Our colleagues have found that
00:44:11.960 --> 00:44:13.926
colleagues have found that there are a number of
00:44:13.928 --> 00:44:15.795
there are a number of residential properties on which
00:44:15.797 --> 00:44:17.297
residential properties on which people park their vehicles next
00:44:17.299 --> 00:44:20.267
people park their vehicles next to the driveway. Uh, which 00:44:20.269 --> 00:44:22.068
to the driveway. Uh, which erodes the, the ground next to
00:44:22.070 --> 00:44:24.036
erodes the, the ground next to that and runs risk of
00:44:24.038 --> 00:44:24.871
that and runs risk of contaminating the soil. So this
00:44:24.873 --> 00:44:27.774
contaminating the soil. So this is for a long. Typically for
00:44:27.776 --> 00:44:29.175
is for a long. Typically for longer term parking, those
00:44:29.177 --> 00:44:31.078
longer term parking, those events that you speak of are 00:44:31.080 --> 00:44:32.712
events that you speak of are typically covered under our
00:44:32.714 --> 00:44:35.081
typically covered under our special events permits and so
00:44:35.083 --> 00:44:36.449
special events permits and so they have already spoken with
00:44:36.451 --> 00:44:39.319
they have already spoken with the city and gotten permission
00:44:39.321 --> 00:44:40.120
the city and gotten permission for additional parking where 00:44:40.122 --> 00:44:47.026
for additional parking where necessary. OK thank you sure.
00:44:47.028 --> 00:44:51.297
necessary. OK thank you sure. Um, I thank you very much, um. 00:44:51.299 --> 00:44:52.699
Um, I thank you very much, um. My concern, uh, you know, goes
00:44:52.701 --> 00:44:55.401
My concern, uh, you know, goes back to the uh definition of
00:44:55.403 --> 00:44:58.705
back to the uh definition of what a fence is. Um, unless
00:44:58.707 --> 00:45:02.576
what a fence is. Um, unless there are Other descriptions 00:45:02.578 --> 00:45:04.711
there are Other descriptions elsewhere. This the definition
00:45:04.713 --> 00:45:09.182
elsewhere. This the definition of my opinion is, uh, well, I
00:45:09.184 --> 00:45:12.118
of my opinion is, uh, well, I Maybe go go back and revisit my 00:45:12.120 --> 00:45:16.222
Maybe go go back and revisit my concern a while ago, uh.
00:45:16.224 --> 00:45:18.558
concern a while ago, uh. Somebody tried to install an
00:45:18.560 --> 00:45:21.528
Somebody tried to install an electric fence. So with this. 00:45:21.530 --> 00:45:22.996
electric fence. So with this. definition of what expenses
00:45:22.998 --> 00:45:25.398
definition of what expenses that would not be out of the
00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:27.767
that would not be out of the ordinary, you know that would
00:45:27.769 --> 00:45:28.869
ordinary, you know that would go through and any other fence
00:45:28.871 --> 00:45:34.707
go through and any other fence that. We may deem, you know, uh, 00:45:34.709 --> 00:45:36.977
that. We may deem, you know, uh, some people may dangerous to uh
00:45:36.979 --> 00:45:38.812
some people may dangerous to uh people, wildlife or what, what,
00:45:38.814 --> 00:45:42.782
people, wildlife or what, what, what, whatever. So, um, How 00:45:42.784 --> 00:45:44.050
what, whatever. So, um, How does this definition handle a
00:45:44.052 --> 00:45:46.852
does this definition handle a situation like that. If I might
00:45:46.854 --> 00:45:49.489
situation like that. If I might ask Thank you, Chair Frasier
00:45:49.491 --> 00:45:50.690
ask Thank you, Chair Frasier and members of the planning 00:45:50.692 --> 00:45:52.392
and members of the planning commission, uh, for the fence
00:45:52.394 --> 00:45:55.662
commission, uh, for the fence definition, we, we did adopt
00:45:55.664 --> 00:45:56.929
definition, we, we did adopt the Merriam-Webster's
00:45:56.931 --> 00:45:58.197
the Merriam-Webster's definition of offense, just for
00:45:58.199 --> 00:45:59.899
definition of offense, just for clarification, I know that the
00:45:59.901 --> 00:46:02.269
clarification, I know that the code does differ to the common 00:46:02.271 --> 00:46:03.836
code does differ to the common definition if one is available,
00:46:03.838 --> 00:46:09.109
definition if one is available, um. I, I don't, I'm apologize.
00:46:09.111 --> 00:46:11.377
um. I, I don't, I'm apologize. I do not know of any instances 00:46:11.379 --> 00:46:12.812
I do not know of any instances where someone would install an
00:46:12.814 --> 00:46:14.748
where someone would install an electric fence that wouldn't be
00:46:14.750 --> 00:46:16.683
electric fence that wouldn't be like a boundary fence enclosing
00:46:16.685 --> 00:46:18.918
like a boundary fence enclosing the area or trying to prove.
00:46:18.920 --> 00:46:21.420
the area or trying to prove. Prevent egress, so I, I, we had 00:46:21.422 --> 00:46:24.257
Prevent egress, so I, I, we had not considered that. I
00:46:24.259 --> 00:46:25.825
not considered that. I appreciate it it came up and we
00:46:25.827 --> 00:46:29.496
appreciate it it came up and we had a, a healthy debate on that
00:46:29.498 --> 00:46:31.097
had a, a healthy debate on that and, you know, in my opinion, 00:46:31.099 --> 00:46:32.999
and, you know, in my opinion, you know, the, at that time,
00:46:33.001 --> 00:46:37.303
you know, the, at that time, even though I did not know so
00:46:37.305 --> 00:46:39.239
even though I did not know so supported but there was nothing
00:46:39.241 --> 00:46:40.640
supported but there was nothing that could have prevented it. 00:46:40.642 --> 00:46:42.308
that could have prevented it. You know, you know, from, from
00:46:42.310 --> 00:46:45.111
You know, you know, from, from being built, you know, it was a
00:46:45.113 --> 00:46:46.479
being built, you know, it was a fences are prohibited on our
00:46:46.481 --> 00:46:49.081
fences are prohibited on our use table so we this isn't this
00:46:49.083 --> 00:46:50.850
use table so we this isn't this is not removing or replacing, 00:46:50.852 --> 00:46:53.987
is not removing or replacing, we have a, a fence standards
00:46:53.989 --> 00:46:56.189
we have a, a fence standards section. So there is an
00:46:56.191 --> 00:46:57.357
section. So there is an additional development section
00:46:57.359 --> 00:47:00.059
additional development section within the code, um, that 00:47:00.061 --> 00:47:02.595
within the code, um, that defines how fences can go in.
00:47:02.597 --> 00:47:03.963
defines how fences can go in. And where fences can go, how
00:47:03.965 --> 00:47:05.932
And where fences can go, how tall they can be, we just did
00:47:05.934 --> 00:47:07.500
tall they can be, we just did not have a definition of what
00:47:07.502 --> 00:47:09.068
not have a definition of what offense is, and so that's where
00:47:09.070 --> 00:47:14.807
offense is, and so that's where I think that's where. There's, 00:47:14.809 --> 00:47:16.209
I think that's where. There's, I'm still a little confused. So
00:47:16.211 --> 00:47:18.645
I'm still a little confused. So uh so you're saying you have 2
00:47:18.647 --> 00:47:20.580
uh so you're saying you have 2 or 3 different places that 00:47:20.582 --> 00:47:23.115
or 3 different places that somebody has to look to fully
00:47:23.117 --> 00:47:25.051
somebody has to look to fully understand what qualifies as a
00:47:25.053 --> 00:47:29.990
understand what qualifies as a legal offense. That's Um That
00:47:29.992 --> 00:47:35.094
legal offense. That's Um That is confusing to say the least. 00:47:35.096 --> 00:47:36.396
is confusing to say the least. um Chair Fraser, Commissioner
00:47:36.398 --> 00:47:39.465
um Chair Fraser, Commissioner Rudama, yes, uh, it is very
00:47:39.467 --> 00:47:40.400
Rudama, yes, uh, it is very that's very true. Uh, you know, 00:47:40.402 --> 00:47:43.870
that's very true. Uh, you know, this, this is the nature of
00:47:43.872 --> 00:47:44.704
this, this is the nature of regulation and ordinances, you
00:47:44.706 --> 00:47:46.639
regulation and ordinances, you know, you'll recall that when
00:47:46.641 --> 00:47:48.475
know, you'll recall that when we, when we, when we took
00:47:48.477 --> 00:47:51.511
we, when we, when we took through Um, all of these 00:47:51.513 --> 00:47:52.779
through Um, all of these changes last year, you recall
00:47:52.781 --> 00:47:54.281
changes last year, you recall we we sat down over, over the
00:47:54.283 --> 00:47:56.649
we we sat down over, over the course of several months at at
00:47:56.651 --> 00:47:57.250
course of several months at at work sessions upstairs, you
00:47:57.252 --> 00:47:59.085
work sessions upstairs, you know, pouring through all these
00:47:59.087 --> 00:48:01.487
know, pouring through all these details of the ordinance and 00:48:01.489 --> 00:48:03.423
details of the ordinance and among the several goals that we
00:48:03.425 --> 00:48:05.858
among the several goals that we had for that update was to at
00:48:05.860 --> 00:48:07.827
had for that update was to at least take a first step in
00:48:07.829 --> 00:48:09.896
least take a first step in making the ordinance more
00:48:09.898 --> 00:48:11.831
making the ordinance more readable and easier to use, um, 00:48:11.833 --> 00:48:15.068
readable and easier to use, um, that's the first step of a long
00:48:15.070 --> 00:48:17.036
that's the first step of a long journey. The ordinances are
00:48:17.038 --> 00:48:17.970
journey. The ordinances are very confusing. You're
00:48:17.972 --> 00:48:19.172
very confusing. You're absolutely right. If you want
00:48:19.174 --> 00:48:21.040
absolutely right. If you want to know everything. that apply 00:48:21.042 --> 00:48:22.642
to know everything. that apply all the rules that apply to
00:48:22.644 --> 00:48:25.044
all the rules that apply to offense, um. It probably is
00:48:25.046 --> 00:48:26.879
offense, um. It probably is about 3 places, I think that
00:48:26.881 --> 00:48:27.947
about 3 places, I think that you have to look to get all
00:48:27.949 --> 00:48:30.316
you have to look to get all that information, if not more, 00:48:30.318 --> 00:48:31.751
that information, if not more, um, but then what we do as
00:48:31.753 --> 00:48:35.121
um, but then what we do as staff is to help homeowners in
00:48:35.123 --> 00:48:36.522
staff is to help homeowners in particular to um understand all
00:48:36.524 --> 00:48:39.492
particular to um understand all that as we produce um handouts
00:48:39.494 --> 00:48:41.094
that as we produce um handouts and web web pages that bring 00:48:41.096 --> 00:48:43.329
and web web pages that bring that all together in a much
00:48:43.331 --> 00:48:44.931
that all together in a much more readable fashion with
00:48:44.933 --> 00:48:47.466
more readable fashion with visuals and and site plans and
00:48:47.468 --> 00:48:49.135
visuals and and site plans and photos, uh, to help people
00:48:49.137 --> 00:48:50.537
photos, uh, to help people understand that because you're 00:48:50.539 --> 00:48:52.539
understand that because you're right, it's very difficult to,
00:48:52.541 --> 00:48:53.340
right, it's very difficult to, to read all this in, in code
00:48:53.342 --> 00:48:55.875
to read all this in, in code language. and understand it all.
00:48:55.877 --> 00:48:58.077
language. and understand it all. Right, so um we're following up
00:48:58.079 --> 00:49:01.348
Right, so um we're following up if the uh First students people 00:49:01.350 --> 00:49:04.784
if the uh First students people from North Carolina. Had um To
00:49:04.786 --> 00:49:06.619
from North Carolina. Had um To do this all over again, um,
00:49:06.621 --> 00:49:13.559
do this all over again, um, would they still. be uh Able to 00:49:13.561 --> 00:49:14.627
would they still. be uh Able to uh uh you know in you know in
00:49:14.629 --> 00:49:16.629
uh uh you know in you know in compliance, you know, bring
00:49:16.631 --> 00:49:19.532
compliance, you know, bring that uh re request again to do
00:49:19.534 --> 00:49:21.201
that uh re request again to do a uh an electric, the electric 00:49:21.203 --> 00:49:22.768
a uh an electric, the electric fence by, by a park. Would that
00:49:22.770 --> 00:49:28.307
fence by, by a park. Would that still be? Chair for an example
00:49:28.309 --> 00:49:29.775
still be? Chair for an example of the Commission, thank you to
00:49:29.777 --> 00:49:31.611
of the Commission, thank you to answer that question, know what 00:49:31.613 --> 00:49:34.981
answer that question, know what this zoning code update, um, we
00:49:34.983 --> 00:49:36.383
this zoning code update, um, we actually added electric fences
00:49:36.385 --> 00:49:37.917
actually added electric fences to the use table and state
00:49:37.919 --> 00:49:39.418
to the use table and state statute, the state statute that
00:49:39.420 --> 00:49:42.188
statute, the state statute that gives the city the authority to 00:49:42.190 --> 00:49:44.123
gives the city the authority to consider a variance does not
00:49:44.125 --> 00:49:47.527
consider a variance does not permit a use variance, it only
00:49:47.529 --> 00:49:49.729
permit a use variance, it only or will only permit a variance
00:49:49.731 --> 00:49:51.664
or will only permit a variance from development standards. So 00:49:51.666 --> 00:49:52.598
from development standards. So previously, the way that the
00:49:52.600 --> 00:49:54.333
previously, the way that the code was written, electric
00:49:54.335 --> 00:49:58.137
code was written, electric fences. The The development
00:49:58.139 --> 00:50:00.606
fences. The The development standard was that the fence was 00:50:00.608 --> 00:50:02.008
standard was that the fence was electrified and now on our use
00:50:02.010 --> 00:50:04.477
electrified and now on our use table, electric fences as a use
00:50:04.479 --> 00:50:06.413
table, electric fences as a use are not permitted. So the city
00:50:06.415 --> 00:50:08.281
are not permitted. So the city would not be able to consider a
00:50:08.283 --> 00:50:10.083
would not be able to consider a variance for a use, so electric 00:50:10.085 --> 00:50:11.417
variance for a use, so electric fences would not be able to be
00:50:11.419 --> 00:50:14.020
fences would not be able to be considered at all. OK, so you
00:50:14.022 --> 00:50:15.621
considered at all. OK, so you just won't find that on this
00:50:15.623 --> 00:50:16.956
just won't find that on this amendment. It has to be
00:50:16.958 --> 00:50:18.257
amendment. It has to be elsewhere. Is that correct?
00:50:18.259 --> 00:50:22.662
elsewhere. Is that correct? That's elsewhere. still 00:50:22.664 --> 00:50:27.233
That's elsewhere. still confusing, but thank you,
00:50:27.235 --> 00:50:31.904
confusing, but thank you, Commissioner Geba. Yeah A quick 00:50:31.906 --> 00:50:33.405
Commissioner Geba. Yeah A quick question on this one, I'm just,
00:50:33.407 --> 00:50:35.574
question on this one, I'm just, I was looking at this uh site
00:50:35.576 --> 00:50:41.181
I was looking at this uh site plan review. Excuse me. OK, 00:50:41.183 --> 00:50:44.017
plan review. Excuse me. OK, when I really push this. Last
00:50:44.019 --> 00:50:45.585
when I really push this. Last portion of the, uh, what you
00:50:45.587 --> 00:50:49.322
portion of the, uh, what you say, without this. takes an a
00:50:49.324 --> 00:50:52.258
say, without this. takes an a side plan changes will require 00:50:52.260 --> 00:50:55.561
side plan changes will require a formal site plan review. No.
00:50:55.563 --> 00:50:59.198
a formal site plan review. No. So There's an added The
00:50:59.200 --> 00:51:01.133
So There's an added The administrative site. plan 00:51:01.135 --> 00:51:07.207
administrative site. plan review What does that entails?
00:51:07.209 --> 00:51:08.675
review What does that entails? When you say administrative
00:51:08.677 --> 00:51:10.643
When you say administrative site. Chair Frazier, members of 00:51:10.645 --> 00:51:12.111
site. Chair Frazier, members of the planning commission, there
00:51:12.113 --> 00:51:14.046
the planning commission, there are two different types of
00:51:14.048 --> 00:51:15.481
are two different types of administrative site plan review.
00:51:15.483 --> 00:51:16.883
administrative site plan review. There is the administrative
00:51:16.885 --> 00:51:18.351
There is the administrative site plan review where it's a
00:51:18.353 --> 00:51:20.353
site plan review where it's a very simple addition, such as 00:51:20.355 --> 00:51:21.888
very simple addition, such as those entryways where the
00:51:21.890 --> 00:51:23.890
those entryways where the planning staff would do their
00:51:23.892 --> 00:51:25.558
planning staff would do their zoning review as a portion of
00:51:25.560 --> 00:51:28.895
zoning review as a portion of the building permit. We have
00:51:28.897 --> 00:51:30.563
the building permit. We have one where it is a little more 00:51:30.565 --> 00:51:33.299
one where it is a little more in depth where we would need to
00:51:33.301 --> 00:51:35.268
in depth where we would need to consult other departments such
00:51:35.270 --> 00:51:37.770
consult other departments such as fire or engineering, um,
00:51:37.772 --> 00:51:40.072
as fire or engineering, um, that looks very similar to the 00:51:40.074 --> 00:51:40.706
that looks very similar to the planning commission document
00:51:40.708 --> 00:51:42.475
planning commission document that you receive for your site
00:51:42.477 --> 00:51:44.010
that you receive for your site plan review, but they meet the
00:51:44.012 --> 00:51:45.878
plan review, but they meet the criteria for it to be
00:51:45.880 --> 00:51:47.513
criteria for it to be administrative, so staff puts
00:51:47.515 --> 00:51:50.750
administrative, so staff puts together a a full code analysis 00:51:50.752 --> 00:51:52.852
together a a full code analysis so that we can show that they
00:51:52.854 --> 00:51:55.254
so that we can show that they meet the code and then a memo
00:51:55.256 --> 00:51:56.522
meet the code and then a memo is sent to the applicant and we
00:51:56.524 --> 00:51:58.925
is sent to the applicant and we have, we Keep those
00:51:58.927 --> 00:52:00.193
have, we Keep those administrative site plan review 00:52:00.195 --> 00:52:03.329
administrative site plan review documents, um, as a, as if it
00:52:03.331 --> 00:52:05.198
documents, um, as a, as if it were a development case, but it
00:52:05.200 --> 00:52:06.666
were a development case, but it doesn't require the public
00:52:06.668 --> 00:52:07.333
doesn't require the public hearing and city council
00:52:07.335 --> 00:52:11.971
hearing and city council approval. OK, so, uh, just to 00:52:11.973 --> 00:52:15.274
approval. OK, so, uh, just to follow up on that, so to have
00:52:15.276 --> 00:52:18.578
follow up on that, so to have give me some clarity on it.
00:52:18.580 --> 00:52:23.115
give me some clarity on it. What is considered. My manor 00:52:23.117 --> 00:52:25.818
What is considered. My manor site plan. Expansion. What,
00:52:25.820 --> 00:52:28.420
site plan. Expansion. What, what, what in, in general is
00:52:28.422 --> 00:52:29.254
what, what in, in general is considered minor when you come
00:52:29.256 --> 00:52:32.625
considered minor when you come to a sight plane. How can you, 00:52:32.627 --> 00:52:34.060
to a sight plane. How can you, is it just, you can get, you
00:52:34.062 --> 00:52:36.729
is it just, you can get, you know, see and know what is
00:52:36.731 --> 00:52:41.300
know, see and know what is minor or what is major. So that 00:52:41.302 --> 00:52:42.534
minor or what is major. So that comes down to uh when the
00:52:42.536 --> 00:52:44.704
comes down to uh when the applicant comes in, we require
00:52:44.706 --> 00:52:46.238
applicant comes in, we require that their architect provide us
00:52:46.240 --> 00:52:48.007
that their architect provide us with those numbers. They
00:52:48.009 --> 00:52:49.909
with those numbers. They provide the, the square footage
00:52:49.911 --> 00:52:51.577
provide the, the square footage of the proposed edition. So 00:52:51.579 --> 00:52:52.845
of the proposed edition. So then staff takes a look and
00:52:52.847 --> 00:52:56.316
then staff takes a look and says, OK, that is 10% or less
00:52:56.318 --> 00:52:57.916
says, OK, that is 10% or less than the footprint of this
00:52:57.918 --> 00:53:00.152
than the footprint of this building. We can proceed with 00:53:00.154 --> 00:53:01.187
building. We can proceed with administrative site plan review
00:53:01.189 --> 00:53:05.491
administrative site plan review or, you know, no, this is a 11%,
00:53:05.493 --> 00:53:07.460
or, you know, no, this is a 11%, we are gonna need you to come
00:53:07.462 --> 00:53:08.460
we are gonna need you to come in for pre-application meeting.
00:53:08.462 --> 00:53:09.795
in for pre-application meeting. We're gonna in all of our
00:53:09.797 --> 00:53:10.930
We're gonna in all of our colleagues from the other 00:53:10.932 --> 00:53:11.798
colleagues from the other departments, and this is going
00:53:11.800 --> 00:53:13.199
departments, and this is going to move forward with the way
00:53:13.201 --> 00:53:14.601
to move forward with the way that the code prescribes with
00:53:14.603 --> 00:53:15.868
that the code prescribes with our formal site plan review,
00:53:15.870 --> 00:53:18.037
our formal site plan review, and then it will come to this
00:53:18.039 --> 00:53:20.172
and then it will come to this body and then ultimately go to 00:53:20.174 --> 00:53:22.842
body and then ultimately go to city council for approval. OK.
00:53:22.844 --> 00:53:25.211
city council for approval. OK. So in, in a sense, this might
00:53:25.213 --> 00:53:31.417
So in, in a sense, this might not include. Like even though 00:53:31.419 --> 00:53:35.921
not include. Like even though it's 10 not 10% of Uh, so if it
00:53:35.923 --> 00:53:38.524
it's 10 not 10% of Uh, so if it does not include Uh, what they
00:53:38.526 --> 00:53:42.261
does not include Uh, what they call it like. You know, moving 00:53:42.263 --> 00:53:43.429
call it like. You know, moving electrical lines or moving
00:53:43.431 --> 00:53:46.298
electrical lines or moving water lines. There are does
00:53:46.300 --> 00:53:48.367
water lines. There are does that have an effect on how it
00:53:48.369 --> 00:53:50.636
that have an effect on how it is determined. So there are 00:53:50.638 --> 00:53:52.571
is determined. So there are other factors where staff is
00:53:52.573 --> 00:53:56.442
other factors where staff is able to like if so say that the
00:53:56.444 --> 00:53:58.544
able to like if so say that the building is vacant currently.
00:53:58.546 --> 00:54:00.312
building is vacant currently. Uh, picture like an office 00:54:00.314 --> 00:54:03.015
Uh, picture like an office building and say that it is in.
00:54:03.017 --> 00:54:05.985
building and say that it is in. The say it's in a mixed use
00:54:05.987 --> 00:54:07.453
The say it's in a mixed use zoning district and the use
00:54:07.455 --> 00:54:10.256
zoning district and the use that wants to go in and occupy 00:54:10.258 --> 00:54:11.190
that wants to go in and occupy that building is a conditional
00:54:11.192 --> 00:54:14.860
that building is a conditional use. So like an apartment
00:54:14.862 --> 00:54:16.228
use. So like an apartment building or um maybe an
00:54:16.230 --> 00:54:17.163
building or um maybe an assisted living facility. It's,
00:54:17.165 --> 00:54:19.164
assisted living facility. It's, it's can. It's a conditional
00:54:19.166 --> 00:54:22.601
it's can. It's a conditional use permit. And so they need to 00:54:22.603 --> 00:54:23.969
use permit. And so they need to come in for additional
00:54:23.971 --> 00:54:25.671
come in for additional approvals, and they want to do
00:54:25.673 --> 00:54:27.072
approvals, and they want to do an audition at that point
00:54:27.074 --> 00:54:28.408
an audition at that point because a conditional use
00:54:28.410 --> 00:54:31.477
because a conditional use permit is. Added, even if that 00:54:31.479 --> 00:54:33.479
permit is. Added, even if that addition is less than the 10%,
00:54:33.481 --> 00:54:34.413
addition is less than the 10%, the way that the code is
00:54:34.415 --> 00:54:35.481
the way that the code is written, they would need to
00:54:35.483 --> 00:54:37.350
written, they would need to come in. And at that point,
00:54:37.352 --> 00:54:39.719
come in. And at that point, that is what makes sense for
00:54:39.721 --> 00:54:40.819
that is what makes sense for that administrative site plan 00:54:40.821 --> 00:54:42.621
that administrative site plan to turn into a formal site plan
00:54:42.623 --> 00:54:44.156
to turn into a formal site plan review. You know, the reason
00:54:44.158 --> 00:54:45.224
review. You know, the reason I'm asking this because I know
00:54:45.226 --> 00:54:47.493
I'm asking this because I know we're here one time we brought
00:54:47.495 --> 00:54:50.029
we're here one time we brought their own people adding little. 00:54:50.031 --> 00:54:52.031
their own people adding little. I, I partitioned to the
00:54:52.033 --> 00:54:53.833
I, I partitioned to the building for other people for
00:54:53.835 --> 00:54:54.900
building for other people for people to stay or like I think
00:54:54.902 --> 00:54:58.204
people to stay or like I think we, we did some push so that's
00:54:58.206 --> 00:54:59.638
we, we did some push so that's the reason I'm asking the
00:54:59.640 --> 00:55:01.640
the reason I'm asking the question because somebody who 00:55:01.642 --> 00:55:03.042
question because somebody who wanted to pull like outside
00:55:03.044 --> 00:55:04.544
wanted to pull like outside room so my auntie can stay here,
00:55:04.546 --> 00:55:06.846
room so my auntie can stay here, you know. But even though it's
00:55:06.848 --> 00:55:08.948
you know. But even though it's not a big, my house is big, I
00:55:08.950 --> 00:55:10.917
not a big, my house is big, I just wanted to put a little gun 00:55:10.919 --> 00:55:22.561
just wanted to put a little gun in there and so that's Where so 00:55:22.563 --> 00:55:25.231
in there and so that's Where so with that being a residential
00:55:25.233 --> 00:55:27.399
with that being a residential site plan review, if it weren't
00:55:27.401 --> 00:55:29.001
site plan review, if it weren't creating a new living like a
00:55:29.003 --> 00:55:32.371
creating a new living like a new dwelling unit. That would 00:55:32.373 --> 00:55:33.573
new dwelling unit. That would still remain an administrative
00:55:33.575 --> 00:55:35.308
still remain an administrative site plan review as part of the
00:55:35.310 --> 00:55:37.209
site plan review as part of the building permit. Um, I love to
00:55:37.211 --> 00:55:38.677
building permit. Um, I love to hear that you're excited to
00:55:38.679 --> 00:55:39.545
hear that you're excited to talk about ADUs though, cause
00:55:39.547 --> 00:55:41.480
talk about ADUs though, cause that is part of the work plan 00:55:41.482 --> 00:55:43.015
that is part of the work plan coming up, uh, we're very
00:55:43.017 --> 00:55:44.884
coming up, uh, we're very excited to talk to you about
00:55:44.886 --> 00:55:47.787
excited to talk to you about that, but that when we get to
00:55:47.789 --> 00:55:48.887
that, but that when we get to that, that would is a good
00:55:48.889 --> 00:55:51.157
that, that would is a good thing to keep in mind because 00:55:51.159 --> 00:55:53.492
thing to keep in mind because we do have the rule where
00:55:53.494 --> 00:55:56.695
we do have the rule where residential. plans are
00:55:56.697 --> 00:55:57.296
residential. plans are administrative review. OK.
00:55:57.298 --> 00:55:59.999
administrative review. OK. Thank you, thank you. I just. 00:56:00.001 --> 00:56:02.501
Thank you, thank you. I just. One of those open up my mind.
00:56:02.503 --> 00:56:04.370
One of those open up my mind. All right, any other questions,
00:56:04.372 --> 00:56:11.377
All right, any other questions, comments on this one? One minor 00:56:11.379 --> 00:56:13.045
comments on this one? One minor maybe for the director. Will,
00:56:13.047 --> 00:56:16.281
maybe for the director. Will, will this, uh, side plan review
00:56:16.283 --> 00:56:20.553
will this, uh, side plan review change uh give. Either And new 00:56:20.555 --> 00:56:22.588
change uh give. Either And new power to, you know, stop
00:56:22.590 --> 00:56:24.757
power to, you know, stop decisions or maybe. You know,
00:56:24.759 --> 00:56:30.663
decisions or maybe. You know, what's pros and cons of this? 00:56:30.665 --> 00:56:31.998
what's pros and cons of this? Um, Cha Fraser, commission
00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:32.798
Um, Cha Fraser, commission members, this has been a good
00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:34.099
members, this has been a good conversation. I just want to
00:56:34.101 --> 00:56:35.000
conversation. I just want to reiterate something that Aaron
00:56:35.002 --> 00:56:35.668
reiterate something that Aaron mentioned that's in the staff
00:56:35.670 --> 00:56:37.536
mentioned that's in the staff report is that this is not new.
00:56:37.538 --> 00:56:39.405
report is that this is not new. This is something we
00:56:39.407 --> 00:56:40.839
This is something we inadvertently left out of the, 00:56:40.841 --> 00:56:42.308
inadvertently left out of the, of the new ordinance last
00:56:42.310 --> 00:56:44.143
of the new ordinance last summer. This is, this is
00:56:44.145 --> 00:56:45.210
summer. This is, this is literally a clerical error. Um,
00:56:45.212 --> 00:56:47.279
literally a clerical error. Um, so, you know, it's, it's a good
00:56:47.281 --> 00:56:48.214
so, you know, it's, it's a good discussion to have, um, but
00:56:48.216 --> 00:56:49.549
discussion to have, um, but this is the way it's been for a
00:56:49.551 --> 00:56:51.284
this is the way it's been for a really long time. Um, so we're 00:56:51.286 --> 00:56:53.452
really long time. Um, so we're not, we're not proposing
00:56:53.454 --> 00:56:54.453
not, we're not proposing anything that hasn't been, you
00:56:54.455 --> 00:56:56.822
anything that hasn't been, you know, this is the way it's been,
00:56:56.824 --> 00:56:57.890
know, this is the way it's been, um, so just wanted to clarify
00:56:57.892 --> 00:57:06.098
um, so just wanted to clarify that, yeah. OK. Anything else? 00:57:06.100 --> 00:57:09.167
