between .... I'm sorry, not the transportation corridor — that's my last one, but the .... what do you call it? The connecting corridors between, for example if you're over here on Bernal, is there bike /ped paths to sort of get you so you can walk to the downtown and the network for bike and ped to get downtown so the people within the 1.5 or 2 miles are not driving. They would conceivably walk easier, safer, etc. And then lastly, the new transportation corridor in the area behind Cole's for the future, one of the questions came up as to the Firehouse Arts Center parking lot and they didn't seem terribly happy with that design, but when I did press on hey that design has DG, then it has the sidewalk and then it has the parking, and I presume and I said I don't know for sure but I presume the City's going to do a copy exact and carry it right in behind Cole's, they seemed to say that was sufficient and they were more interested in the connection than to Wayside on that side. So those are more of their comments which might refer more to Mike Tassano. Beaudin: Thank you, they have Commissioner Nagler: I would like at some point to come back to this question about having discussion on in -lieu fees because the fact is at some point we are going to have to prioritize supply and new supply and it is obviously going to cost money and it just isn't appropriate for us to allow projects to be constructed without providing parking and instead paying an in -lieu fee that actually isn't an in -lieu fee. It doesn't get us a parking space technically. Beaudin: Can I make a request through the Chair and I really want to support the Commission, so what I would ask is that when we get to work planning discussions for the next two -year cycle, that we add this study to the mix. We're currently doing the Downtown Parking Plan. Any time you're dealing with impact fees or other kinds of assessments that will go toward the development community, I don't want to try and address that at this point in time. It would be additional analysis and work that we would have to do. In talking with the City Manager about the items we're going to be taking on in the next year to two years, we've started making a list of work plan items that will come from the Planning Commission, that will come from staff, and other Commissions and that ultimately the City Council will decide on. I'd like to ask that you table the item for now and bring it up for that point in time. Commissioner Nagler: I guess I want to be sensitive to your perspective about what you have the capacity to do when, but I guess I'm a little bit confused. What work needs to be done in addition to the study that you're undertaking that would allow us to have a discussion and potentially make a recommendation to the Council about the specific matter of the dollar amount of the in -lieu fee? Beaudin: It's a code amendment and we would want to look at other surface parking costs for the area. We basically have to do a study because this is going to be an assessment against developers. It's a, "if you can't make your parking requirement on site ", so we want it to be a legally defensible fee and so we have to do a specific kind of study to do that. It is an in -lieu fee and not an impact fee so there's a difference there so we would want to make sure we're really clear at how we arrived at the number. We've done the number for structure parking and I think the methodology we used —I don't PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 24, 2016 Page 28 of 39
