there are hotels, this would be a corollary use unless the hotel has their own. But, what she did <br />not want to do is put high intensity traffic uses here if this exceeded the traffic standards. <br />Mr. Beaudin said the analysis, assumptions and infrastructure improvements built into the EIR <br />are that the buildout of the area will be primarily retail. Staff therefore is anticipating high trip <br />generating uses in the area. Therefore, they fully anticipate having capacity for full buildout of <br />this area with whatever uses they want to include, and staff is suggesting that some uses be <br />less impactful overall. <br />Commissioner Ritter said he believes Commissioner Allen is worried about having something <br />not fully vetted. <br />Commissioner Allen said it is two -fold; she is worried about that but she also wants to create <br />more of a hurdle. She really wants for this to be more retail and generate tax revenue which <br />was the goal of the EDZ. If they end up with nursing homes and theaters, they end up being <br />back to where they are today. <br />Commissioner Ritter said a business owner will review the list and if they cannot make money <br />with a particular business function, they will find another use, and he did not necessarily want <br />to over -regulate by eliminating things on the list. It will still go through staff and if conditioned, it <br />will come to the Commission. Commissioner Allen agreed this is what she is asking for; that <br />uses be conditional and be included. <br />Commissioner Brown supported comments of Commissioner Allen and thinks the Commission <br />should consider changing some of the permitted uses to conditional. <br />Commissioner O'Connor asked for staffs opinion on all of the non -Costco and non -hotel space <br />if it were all built out as non -retail. He asked what percent of tax revenue staff anticipates <br />coming from other uses if it was all retail. <br />Mr. Beaudin stated the City has a significant amount of financial analysis that has been done <br />and said the idea was to create a wide range of uses like they would in a commercial center or <br />in an area of the community that has a full range of services. Some of the housing components <br />are further afield, so he understands the permitted versus conditional discussion which is <br />great, and some of the proposed uses come from the fact that the goal for retail has to be <br />evaluated against the size of the parcels that are in the zone. He deferred to Tina Olson who <br />may have this percentage. <br />Tina Olson, Director of Finance, said it is about another $1.2 million for the Phase 2 which is <br />total tax revenue. This includes property taxes and sales taxes, or equivalent to a little Tess <br />than what the City expects from Costco in total. <br />Commissioner O'Connor said property tax could be fixed and would not pertain to the use, and <br />Ms. Olson said it would just pertain to the initial cost for them to purchase the land and <br />construction costs for the building. Commissioner O'Connor asked if Ms. Olson could separate <br />out the sales tax revenue from the property taxes. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, October 11, 2017 Page 8 of 13 <br />
