Commissioner Balch: Well, this is super affordable because there's not much space. Chair Ritter: And that would be meeting that requirement. Commissioner Balch: I do think, and I don't want to state it per se, but I like the idea as Commissioner Allen brought up if the parking is such a concern, I like the idea of creating an additional on -site spot. I really do to address our concern with the mixed use. I don't know if we fully have addressed my comment about the mixed use being residential only though. I don't know if we were there. It sounded like maybe you were not there with them. I don't know, but I want to just continue to keep that because that's what it's all about. In staff's resolutions it basically says that the mixed use on Residence 1 shall be only non - residential. I completely want to add water or weight to what Commissioner Allen said; that if you keep it where it has to be office, it does put us over the 10 %. 1 have a struggle with that requirement both ways. Commissioner Allen: Where do other people come out on Jack's last comment about requiring Residence 1 to have that office be office versus not? Where do you two come out on that? Chair Ritter: So if it is an office, you lose a space? Commissioner Nagler: Or you gain a space? Commissioner Balch: Well, in the workshop it was all residential and Commissioner Nagler and I were on the fence that said basically, we really like the design and staff recommended that maybe there's a mixed use solution that wouldn't necessarily tick over the odometer on another spot, right? Well, they designed it for that, but along came a requirement that it's not for residential use. It's got to be for an office or mixed use. Chair Ritter: They said it was flexible though. Commissioner Balch: Well not now because the condition would make it.... Chair Ritter:... so if we made it flexible? Commissioner Balch: Therein lies the discussion. Do you want someone to have a bedroom in that room or not is really what you need to answer. Commissioner Nagler: So the issue is Commissioner Allen is pointing out that if it ends up residential, this problem should have required a General Plan Amendment. Commissioner Allen: Maybe you should check with Julie on that, but that's my point. It's less than 10% and it's really a residential project if you don't do much more. Commissioner Balch: But if you kick it to office for example, you kick your parking up possibly another notch. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, July 13, 2016 Page 28 of 38
