Police Report Patrol South: L. Carlson, people are still leaving stuff in their car and it take less than 20 seconds to bust a window and take items. Lighting is being addressed because dark areas are sights for crime and/or fights. There is a lot of construction downtown that has created a growing population. Do not leave large empty boxes outside (Ex. Large TV box). Q: Last time you spoke about using video to find people involved in fights, are you still using that video? A: Yes, we are looking at videos; it is an ongoing continuous effort. Patrol North: Officer C. Burnett, we participated in a larceny special assignment at Home Depot to bring awareness of suspicious people. People are encouraged to call 911 when you see suspicious people.

Motion carried 9:0. 8. PUD2019-00017 CBD - Central Business District to PUD - Planned Unit Development Scott Knebel, Metropolitan Area Planning Department, will present this request. The applicant is seeking to establish the SLG 13 Commercial Planned Unit Development (PUD #73) on the 0.14-acre tract generally located on the south side of East Douglas Avenue and east of South Washington Avenue at 1207 East Douglas Avenue. The applicant has indicated the intent is to allow a mixed use of commercial uses on the property. The main purpose of the proposed change in use of the property is to allow the expansion of the tattoo parlor in the adjoining building. Otherwise, there are few changes in potential uses that could be established under the present zoning classification. Therefore, staff finds the proposed uses are not out of character with the intent to provide a wider variety of commercial uses consistent with the existing commercial properties along this major commercial corridor. The property along Douglas Avenue is zoned CBD Central Business District (CBD). The area is intensively developed for commercial uses. This neighborhood is an active, urban commercial area. Recommendation: Based upon the information available at the time the staff report was prepared, staff recommends APPROVAL of the application subject to 3 conditions. Q: There is a concern with the actual address for the applicant. A: We will double check. Recommendation: Scanlon/York made a motion to recommend that City Council approve the request. Motion carried 9:0. Board Agenda 9.
