Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Brad Reynolds has submitted a General Plan/zone change application (GPZ-14- 2021) on 3.2 acres to change the zoning from C-2 (General Commercial) to RM (Multiple Unit Dwelling Residential) and to change the General Plan from General Commercial to Medium Density Residential (7 to 12 units/acre). The Planning Commission recommended approval of the General Plan/zone change subject to a development agreement. The proposed development agreement addresses the following topics:  Maximum number of units  Minimum unit sizes  Architecture  Amenities  Parking  Setbacks  Multi-unit residential design standards from City Code Councilmember Lang asked if the reserved stacking lane on the commercial property to the north would be used to accommodate Dutch Bros or America First. Steve replied the applicant is unsure if it will be needed but would likely be for Dutch Bros. Mayor Bigelow stated that there are 4 on-street parking spaces. Steve indicated where those are located in this project. Mayor Bigelow stated that there are a number of units that have driveways but there are 8 units that only have garage parking. He expressed concern with overflow parking extending to 3200 West. Councilmember Lang agreed and indicated that she would like to see at least 8-16 visitor stalls. Councilmember Lang asked how deep the driveways will be. Steve replied that they will be the standard depth of 18 feet. Councilmember Fitisemanu asked if there would be a way to connect the stub street to the west. Steve replied that this would not be possible due to the layout of the existing development. Councilmember Buhler asked if the applicant is the owner. Steve replied no. Councilmember Buhler noted that this property was once occupied by a mobile home park and asked if the pads for the units have been removed. Steve replied yes. Mayor Bigelow stated that more families occupy single family homes and with  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – NOVEMBER 16, 2021 -5- this comes more vehicles. Councilmember Lang suggested adding no parking signs on 3200 West but added that there needs to be more internal parking provided to make this project work. Steve stated that this issue comes up often and indicated that the code could be changed to reflect current need. Councilmember Buhler expressed concern that parking would flow north to the businesses and indicated that the burden would then fall on them for enforcement. He indicated that he would like to see this project developed but he wouldn’t be in favor of approval with the parking as it is currently proposed. Councilmember Lang agreed and indicated that the parking ordinance needs to be re-evaluated. Councilmember Buhler stated that parking garages could be required so that applicants can still maintain density but noted that this would be an expensive solution. Steve stated that in this particular case, the applicant could remove units, or the Council could grant an exception to open space requirements. Mayor Bigelow indicated that he would be comfortable with 4 spaces per unit. Councilmember Lang agreed and indicated that she would not be in favor of removing open space requirements but could not approve this as proposed. The City Council will consider Ordinances 21-63 and 21-64 and Resolution 21-189 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled November 23, 2021 at 6:30 P.M.
