I would propose that commercial be in Section A and residential be B as opposed to <br /> melding them, but I will look to my peers here, because I think that's why when people <br /> talk about downtown they talk about a vibrant business district and that's what Scott <br /> Raty came to talk about—business thrives vitality <br /> Chair Ritter What other areas are the Central Commercial districts? This isn't just <br /> downtown in 18 44 030, is it's <br /> Bonn It's predominantly downtown There's straight zoning that has the C-C <br /> designation like Rosewood Commons as Gerry mentioned earlier, and there probably <br /> are a handful of PUDs that refer back to the C-C district So half of Rosewood <br /> Commons is PUD-C and it refers back to the C-C district with some exceptions The <br /> other half of Rosewood Commons is straight zoned C-C and there's probably a couple <br /> of other examples as well <br /> Commissioner Brown I'm not sure Rosewood Commons would fit into this definition, <br /> right, if you're targeting it towards the downtown? <br /> Beaudin Right, we really need our DSP update to take the lead on these and so that's <br /> part of what we'll be trying to accomplish The C-C district, because it does apply <br /> elsewhere in the City, the idea of pedestrian scale, the idea of encouraging mixed use— <br /> those are somewhat similar planning directions that we've been giving folks for our <br /> downtown based on the existing DSP and in Rosewood Commons where they're <br /> contemplating the residential projects that were contemplated during the Housing <br /> Element process So, whether its horizontal mixed use or vertical mixed use, it becomes <br /> more of the conversation This doesn't tie you're hands one way or the other <br /> Commissioner Balch Well, the pedestrian element across anything in the City in my <br /> opinion should be supported I mean, we've got to get out of our cars, nght7 So I don't <br /> have a problem with that I'm hearing everything everyone is saying I do support the <br /> idea of adding the commercial I think that might be our little compromise here The <br /> intensive development language from my point, I think I'm going to punt I could go <br /> either way I understand what staff is saying that basically it's been there and it's kind of <br /> the grandfathered language they have inherited to edit, so I'm not really sure now would <br /> be the time in my opinion to alter it I apologize Nancy, I didn't get your A versus B and I <br /> just want to make sure I understand that comment Where was that at? Was that in the <br /> Point 10 part in the Purpose? <br /> Commissioner Allen It was the top of page 19, "The purpose of the District is as <br /> follows" Gerry's proposal was to have one sentence that had commercial and <br /> residential Mine was just to say Point A would focus on the purpose to have a vibrant <br /> business commercial center that's pedestrian scale and supports and complements <br /> other downtown businesses and draws people into downtown Point A would focus on <br /> the business side of the C-C district <br /> Commissioner Balch So you would add that in'? <br /> Commissioner Allen Yes <br /> EXCERPT DRAFT PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, December 14, 2016 Page 21 of 30 <br />
