it seems as though at least part of the intent uh you know it seems as though I mean right now the ordinance is conflicting but it seems as though at least part of the intent was to try to require that commercial or retail on the first floor of buildings presumably large multi-family buildings like apartments or condos...that seem to be the overarching intent.

It says nothing that allows a conditional use of basement and first floor residential living...Option A is just plain incorrect...the plain language does not say you can do that so let's just not do option A.

I'm just curious if it might make sense to further strengthen the language in I believe it's option b relative to uh the commercial and Retail spaces on the first floor of a building as opposed to housing specifically as it relates to a potential building developer or owner deciding to kind of get around that by having a captive gym or captive Lobby or captive restaurant kind of uh or cafeteria kind of a thing for primarily directed towards the residents of the building as opposed to the more retail concept.

I think this meeting it's a good meeting to make sure that we get it right and make sure that the future we get it right...this Planning Commission as being a really important body for this city to make sure that our city council does the right thing by long-term standards of planning and long-term planning to make sure that our city-states are really livable and great place to live long term and doesn't become a developer-led planned city.

there's nothing in here that says you're allowed to have housing on the first floor basement but there is nothing in here that says that you cannot correct right...So I think no I waited until this meeting but that was a sticking point and said you know we've been repeatedly said that first floor residential and basement are not allowed by 612 but that's not true here from a legal standpoint right I mean there's there's no real ambiguity around there you can have residential on the first floor in the basement here is listed by these conditional uses because because it says multi-residential and it doesn't exclude those uses in the conditional use list right.
