Flagpoles look a lot better than the fake trees, and things are going to get better, so I encourage you to do that and I would encourage you to find some appropriate districts for conference centers and event centers. There's going to be more of those. And I'll close with one final prediction. 1- 580/1 -680 is going to change the face of this city more in the next 20 years than it has in the last 50 years. That's my prediction. Thank you very much for your time. Commissioner Nagler: May I ask a question of him? Mr. Hirst? Hirst: You can call me Brad. I'm still for 3 -story parking in the civic center. Commissioner Nagler: I know. We fought that battle. We did well on that one, thank you very much.

So just for clarification, we're talking about primarily the really broad categories that we used to organize the uses in the table. Under the existing code we had these long laundry list of uses, so what we're doing is consolidating them into these broader categories like office, business service, industrial, retail, instead of listing out every single type of retail use... candy shop, clothing shop, etc. Chair Ritter: So I guess instead of asking that - -Which ones do we not....? Commissioner Balch: Are these on pages 12 and 13? Are these the ones we're talking about specifically? And just as a general comment on the table, I'm just horrible at remembering all of the definitions of the IP and I think you guys should rotate that 90 degrees and write them out frankly at the top of your table, like `Commercial V because a user.... Commissioner Brown: You read my mind. It's one of my points too PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 31, 2016 Page 41 of 58
