Item 3—Redlined Plan, Part 2 The text related to multi-use spaces indicates, "for tenant spaces accommodating multiple uses, a minimum of the first 25 percent of the depth of tenant space (measured perpendicular to the facade fronting a designated active street) must be occupied with an active use. Exceptions to this requirement may be granted, in accordance with Policy 9." Policy 9 related to exceptions indicates: "The director of community development may grant an exception to the requirements of the Active Ground Floor Use Overlay district for uses meeting one or more of the following criteria: 1) The tenant space has been vacant for a period of at least 6 months. Evidence of attempts to lease space shall be provided to the director of community development upon request; 2) There does not exist a similar use within the same block of a designated active street at defined by address (e.g 100 block, 200 block etc.); or 3) The configuration of the tenant space is such that it would have a storefront frontage of less than 10 feet(as determined by the director of community development) on a designated active street." The suggested provision for multi-tenant spaces is to address the diversity of tenant spaces that are located downtown, and to acknowledge that some tenant spaces are occupied by more than one type of business. Since the objective of the active ground floor uses overlay is to facilitate and promote pedestrian activity, the portion of the tenant space that should be active is the portion fronting the street, and a different, non- active use, could occupy the back of the tenant space. The proposed exceptions are to address when the Director of Community Development may consider when a tenant space could be occupied by a non-active use, and are intended to allow for any one of the following situations: when the tenant space has been vacant for a period of at least six months (with active attempts to lease it), if there does not exist a similar use within the same block, or if the configuration of the tenant space is such that it does not have sufficient frontage (less than 10 feet) where an active use would benefit and enhance the pedestrian environment. The redlined text also adds a clause to the definition of active ground floor uses previously reviewed by the Task Force, identified with underline below. This additional clause is to allow the Director of Community Development to allow uses that may not meet the strict definition of active ground floor use to occupy a tenant space where the requirement applies, as long as it meets the objectives of the overlay district. "Active ground floor use" means a use that promotes an active pedestrian environment on the ground floor of a commercial building, and includes retail establishments, restaurants and catering establishments, bars and brew pubs, art and craft studios, wineries, and other uses determined by the director of community development to be substantially similar to the foregoing, or to have unique characteristics such that the objectives of the overlay district would be met."
