Commissioner Allen My only intent was downtown because I'm really into pedestrian scale small town Commissioner Balch I'd support a footnote deferring to the DSP Beaudin I want to make sure we actually address the retail head on So, if we have time for a recess before we're done, Shweta and I can try to wordsmith it, otherwise, I'm going to ask for some grace from you all to draft a footnote that meets the intent of what you're asking, which was to make sure retail is, I'll call it "downtown scale" which is a pedestrian scale rather than being subject to the broader C-C parameters Commissioner Nagler Well, just out of curiosity, why wouldn't it make specific reference to the DSP'? Beaudin I think it can but the DSP does not set limits on retail size either Chair Ritter It could Commissioner Allen Should it though'? Beaudin It could and it might in two years, but in this interim period, I want to make sure we're covered So we probably want to set a number on that I'd want to do some downtown number searching before we hit the City Council to make sure I understood what the largest banks buildings look like, the library building, and some of the others so we set the size appropriately to make sure we keep that scale Commissioner Balch So right now, do you need a recess to do that Or, do you want to have this come back to us'? Chair Ritter You know what our intent is and make sure you move forward with that Beaudin Yes, if you're willing to do that Chair Ritter I'm willing to do that Commissioner Allen I'd like to see a number though Beaudin It may not be a number Commissioner Allen Pedestrian scale and consistent with downtown existing buildings That feels okay because that's what we'd look at if it came to us, right'? Beaudin And it would still be a CUP if it's above a certain number I will put a number on that but I just don't know tonight what that would be A lot of our businesses downtown are between 7,000 and 10,000 square feet, but there are larger and smaller ones I just don't want to pin a number on it tonight without doing a little bit more research EXCERPT DRAFT PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, December 14, 2016 Page 17 of 30
