MOTION: It was m/s by Narum/Pentin to annotate the property at 475 - 493 St. John Street, excluding the residents, with Mixed Use Transitional through a PUD. Mayor Thorne asked for clarification and City Manager Fialho explained that under Mixed Use Transitional, the square footage of the restaurant would have to be preserved or redeveloped and residential could go behind a structure or up above. Councilmember Pentin noted they would have the right to do this as a commercial property and can ask for a mixed-use project that would require a PUD and a mixed use transitional with annotation of the map. The annotation offers a separate opportunity. Councilmember Brown questioned where restaurant customers would park. Staff responded that parking would have to be included in the development plan. Councilmember Testa stated she is confused as to why this is different, noting it is a process, but it is going out of the process and it seems inappropriate to do so. She referenced discussions in a previous meeting that the applicant would incur additional costs if they were not under the DSP and stated she is uncomfortable making a decision outside of the process, instead of a consideration of a cost/benefit. City Manager Fialho reported the property owner with the environmental analysis has assumed a certain level of density for programmatic reasons and there is benefit derived from that and the property owner would not have to absorb that cost with the existing assumptions. The property owner would have to do some level of additional analysis such as a traffic study. Councilmember Testa said she is uncomfortable going outside the standard process. Councilmember Narum noted the EIR and any benefits would apply to any downtown commercial property owner and is not a special case.
