reference that it was implemented in preparation for the Downtown Hospitality Guidelines. Can you just expand on that? Bonn: Sure, so previously the definition for restaurant versus bars included a 10:00 p.m. cutoff for the sale of alcohol. So by definition of restaurant that sold alcohol past 10:00 p.m. was classified as a bar for purposes of the zoning code. That was modified to 11:00 p.m. as part of the Downtown Hospitality Guidelines. One of the comments we received for this update to the zoning code is that restaurants serving alcohol past 11:00 p.m. should not be classified as bars, and we're proposing not to address that at this time given it was very recently addressed with the Hospitality Guidelines. Commissioner Brown: Okay, all right Commissioner Nagler: I think staff has done a terrific job in this process and they have been remarkably diligent in reaching out to the community and reflecting their input and that this is a terrific product and that the expertise of the Planning Commission has helped, and that I think the product is very well supported. Chair Ritter: Great. The best part about going last is that most things have been discussed. My only question is on page 26, Table 18; parking lots. We just have one under C -C as conditional. It sounds like they're excluding pay for parking facilities. I just didn't know if that was an option or if that's something.... or are we good with that? Beaudin: So what we're saying here is that paid parking lots are not permitted in most of these zoning districts, and if you're going to do an off -site paid parking lot; if you're just going to take a piece of property in a C -C zone, you have to come in and get a CUP to operate that commercial business, which is essentially a parking structure or parking lot that takes money for parking spaces. Chair Ritter: So we're not excluding anything. Beaudin: We're not excluding it in C -C. Chair Ritter: Okay. Commissioner Balch: I'll make a motion that we find that the proposed amendment to the Municipal Code is exempt from CEQA and I move that we adopt a resolution recommending approval of Case P16 -1418 with the following amendments which are: For code section 18.124.200 which is the Minor CUP Element, we add Condition H which says "A Minor PUD process and a Minor CUP process cannot run concurrently." Staff could modify the language as they see fit; that we modify to say that Downtown Retail C -C has a footnote added that says that 7,500 feet becomes between permitted and now conditional; that we adjust the retail number for permitted versus condition from 60,000 as it is written to 55,000 square feet; and that we modify Section 18.44.030 which is related to the downtown language with the Downtown Revitalization to leave it the way it is without the comments or redlines as proposed. So we're reverting to the original text, and that was the Retail Downtown or the item Commissioner Allen brought up; and, strongly recommends that a legend be added to the top of the Table listing the zoning districts.
