allowed to make improvements and work with staff on streetscaping, and affirmed that all residents will be required to sign disclosure documents related to the project's location in the Downtown area. Mike Carey, applicant, stated that the residential use for the proposed project will provide instant patrons for the Downtown area. They analyzed all parking options and acknowledge the impacts. He inquired if the City would potentially revise policies for lost street parking and what incentives could be provided to developers to encourage more parking. In closing, he stated they would prefer to pay for two (2) in-lieu spaces. Noting there were no further members of the public wishing to speak, the Mayor closed the public hearing. In response to an inquiry from Councilmember Pentin, staff noted that for a Planned Use Development, typically two (2) spaces per unit are required, but also some additional parking for guests. Staff noted that driveways are considered guest parking spaces. Councilmember stated that he approves of the project, the proposed bike rack/corrals on the streetscape, and although he has some concerns with the building's proposed height, it seems to be in line with the Downtown objectives. He made a motion to take staffs recommendations one (1) through five (5). Councilmember Brown seconded the motion, but confirmed with staff that a Condition of Approval would be included that the applicant would provide a revised streetscape that is consistent with the Downtown aesthetic. The maker of the motion accepted this amendment. Staff recommended adding a Condition of Approval regarding the streetscape to the project. Councilmember Olson would like to add a friendly amendment to change the in-lieu fees to two (2) spaces as to not punish the applicant for good design work. Councilmember Brown suggested the payment of three (3) spaces in regard to in-lieu fees and noted that commercial patrons will likely be using a City maintained lot. She congratulated the applicant on their good design work, the Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, and the retention of the retail element. Councilmember Narum stated that she supported the project and the good design work and suggested leaving the in-lieu fees at three (3) spaces. She likes the design of the street-facing garage doors, however, would not like this to set a precedent for street-facing garage doors in the Downtown area. Councilmember Pentin said at this time he would not accept the friendly amendment to reduce the in- lieu fees to two (2) parking spaces. Mayor Thorne stated that he met with the developer, that he likes the mixed-use project, and supports the payment of in-lieu fees for three (3) spaces. Staff clarified that Condition 10 in the staff report (page 5 of 25) would be amended to note that in-lieu fees will be charged for three (3) parking spaces. Councilmember Pentin modified his motion to include the modification of Condition 10 to include three (3) parking spaces.
