Ms. Ott said the guidelines do not propose any zoning changes but that there is a perception that properties in the transition zone may be less desirable to prospective tenants than those in the core zone due to lower standards relative to noise and operating hours. Councilmember Cook-Kallio asked and Ms. Ott confirmed that properties in the transition area and abutting the core area can request to be moved to the core area through the City's regular review area. This would require a change in the map defining the core and hospitality area but would not necessarily require a CUP. Mr. Fialho said the decision would likely be based on some sort of development application or business proposal rather than the simple desire of the property owner. Councilmember Cook-Kallio asked and Mr. Fialho confirmed that the Council's recent action relative to banks in the downtown area did not prohibit new banks as a use; it simply changed them from permitted to requiring a CUP. Councilmember McGovern referred to Enhancing Downtown Hospitality— Potential Future Topics in the draft guidelines, said she would like to see additional parking in the corridor addressed within the next year, and asked what sort of timeline staff has identified for these topics. Ms. Ott said that while they are within the PDA's Hospitality Plan and certainly in the City's long-range plans, no definitive timeline has been discussed. She suggested that there is an opportunity for education and outreach regarding the some of the City's underutilized parking areas, such as those along the transportation corridor and others not right on Main Street. Councilmember McGovern inquired about staff's recommendation relative to Thursday evenings. Ms. Ott said there was a strong sentiment that Thursdays are an entryway into the weekend for many and that they look for opportunities to eat out and participate in activities much like they would on a Friday or Saturday. Councilmember McGovern said she did not necessarily agree with that. She asked if the guidelines require business owners to monitor noise generated within or by their establishment. She felt this would be a more proactive approach to minimizing noise complaints and go a long way towards supporting the good neighbor policy. Ms. Ott said no, although the Planning Commission did include it as a tool for reviewing CUPs. Councilmember McGovern said she felt loitering was as much of a concern during business hours as it was after. She said she felt comfortable that the staff recommendations balanced the needs of both residents and businesses and that a review in 6 or 12 months would provide the Council with an opportunity to adjust the guidelines as needed. Councilmember Thorne asked if staff had any data supporting the idea that a noise level of 74 decibels at the commercial property line would be attenuated to 60 decibels at the residential property line Ms. Ott said they know that 60 decibels can be achieved with a volume of 74 decibels in the core area. Using the EVC and PDA recommendation would result in 60.6 decibels at the residential property line. Staff's recommended map would of course allow for even greater attenuation. 13
