Remaining questions to Responses to LDC amendments questions May 4 2021 meeting. Responses by Mattingly:
For many of these, there is no reason for justification provided. Will all that be covered in the presentation. That makes for a longer meeting. In the packet would be very useful.
I stand by this.
Please see the attached table.
Page 5 of 28 Garages,
Why are side and detached garages now deleted? Won't we still allow those? If we do, we need the Figures back, too.)
Alley-loaded is addressed in (f) so why is figure 7.5 - alley-loaded garage lined out as if removed?
The new redlined text in this section was written to still allow for semi-flush, recessed, side loaded, and detached garage scenarios. In other words, the new redlined text does not prohibit a homeowner from constructing those types of garages. For simplicity, we removed the language and images. We did keep the alley-loaded text and image because this language is more unique and specific to that garage type.
So where is the text that allows them and provides specifications? The deletions in the text can only lead me to think that we won’t allow them anymore if we only have two, Front loaded attached and alley-loaded. I can’t find other references in the code. If we accept the redline, the others will be gone. Staff can add semi-flush, recessed, side-loaded, and detached garages and their associated images back into the Development Code.
AND it’s C, not B under 7.1.4.1 in the current code PDF. Or are you proposing to delete the current section B which is about Alternative Compliance? That’s not shown here. Yes, it should be C, we will update that letter prior to going to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
And I think the graphics are extremely helpful. Not sure why we would delete them. Staff can add semi-flush, recessed, side-loaded, and detached garages and their associated images back into the Development Code.
Page 8 of 28 Outdoor Storage under 5.1.3.2 Accessory Uses.
Under B 1 "The conduct of sales, business or any other activity other than storage, shall be prohibited." - what about the office for the business? Many have an office on-site. The portion of the business that is used as an "office" for the business would be allowed and would fall under the use of "office" in the Land Use Matrix.
This isn’t making sense to me. This would be the office of the self storage unit business. Why would it be under two different uses in the matrix? I think it would be easy enough to add something like “except for the office of the self storage business”
To address this concern, we can ament B.1 to state: The conduct of sales, business or any other activity other than storage and the associated leasing office of the self-storage business, shall be prohibited.
Land Use Table -
Outdoor Storage
We need this type of storage facilities added to the Land Use Table under Commercial uses instead of Industrial???Under Industrial, where Self Storage is shown, it looks like all uses P and C are lined out. I can't tell what the changes are supposed to be. We will clean this page up prior to going to the Planning and Zoning Commission so the redline is more clear. The intent is that "Self Storage" is no longer permitted in any district and is only allowed as a Conditional use in CM zoning.
I’ll need to understand why not in LI or HC because that could be what the zoning already is. Would we want to force them to rezone to CM just to put in storage units? Only with Conditions, of course. That was an excellent idea!
Correct, staff is proposing that if a property is currently zoned LI or HC and the property owner wants to install self-storage, they would need to rezone to CM and receive a Conditional Use Permit so that staff, Planning Commission, and City Council can determine whether the location is suitable or add necessary conditions.
Why is Urban Farm C in CD-2.5, CD-5 and CD-5D and CD 3 and 4 are L? That doesn't seem right. Yes, staff will take a further look at the Land Use Matrix for CD-2.5 for any tweaks and can provide an updated version prior to Planning and Zoning Commission.
Do we need to talk about this on May 4th? Staff proposed that Urban Farm be “C” because that mirrors what is indicated in the SF-6 zoning district, however, we can revise that if desired.
Why is Community Home an L in CD-2.5 but P in CD-2, 3, 4, 5, 5D? Seems inconsistent since CD-2.5 is between CD-2 and CD-3. Staff proposed that Community Home be “L” because that mirrors what is allowed in SF-6 zoning, however, we can revise that if desired.
And didn't we rename CD-5D to something else? I do not recall a renaming of this district.
I was thinking about the “N-MS” district, not CD-5D. My bad…note the time of my questions…(2.05 am)!
Point was that we’ve only had two requests and neither was for downtown or the main street area. I thought it was on the last list of approvals, but I can’t find it. So I’ll ask about it on Tuesday.

Why is Day Care Center not allowed in CD 2.5 but C in CD-2 and CD-3? Staff will take a further look at the Land Use Matrix for CD-2.5 for any tweaks and can provide an updated version prior to Planning and Zoning Commission.
Do we need to talk about this on May 4th? Staff proposed that Day Care be not permitted in CD-2.5 because that mirrors what is indicated for SF-6, however, we can revise that if desired.
Page 20 of 28, Section 4.5.2.1 Historic District N. Demolition by Neglect
Should there be a timeframe here? Or do we want to give staff full discretion? This can be added at the Council's request.
Why is the recommendation no timeframe? Trying to support the staff recommendation but I need info.
In Section 4.5.2.1.N.3.F the code states that if the property owner is cited for the condition of demolition by neglect they are required to submit to staff a stabilization proposal within 14 days of that decision. Section 4.5.2.1.N.3.G (which is being corrected with this code update) will now state that if they do not submit the stabilization proposal, then the matter is turned over to the City Attorney. The Legal department can provide more information on the timeframe for the City Attorney legal process.
And this question remains.
Page 21 of 28. Legacy districts. Section 9.2.2.5 CC, Community Commercial
Where do the uses of the former O/P, Office Professional go now? CD-4 and/or CD-5? The uses for Office Professional (OP) can be found in Chapter 9 in Section 9.3.1.2 Land Use Matrix.
I should have been more specific. My question is - in which CURRENT zoning district (not a legacy district) would those uses go?
The use of “Professional Office” in the Land Use Matrix is limited in ND-4 and CD-4. It is permitted in N-CM, CD-5, CD-5D, HC, LI, and EC. It is prohibited in all other districts.
