Staff has attached the proposed redline amendments to the PMC which would modify Sections 18.08 Definitions, 18.44.090 Permitted and conditional uses, and 18.88.030 Schedule of off - street parking space requirements. These proposed Code amendments would allow businesses and /or individuals, which are not associated with the building or its uses, to rent commercial basement space within buildings located within the Downtown, Central Commercial zoning district only.
