CEQA impacts. At that point, she had discomfort with answers around the questions of setting density if the City were to do 100% residential. Given the late hour and increased confusion, she felt this needed further discussion. She believed zoning is used to give assurances of what can and cannot be done on a property and felt it important to know and understand potential impacts. In terms of the Shell Station, she felt most residents would agree that Peters and First Streets are transitioning streets from the core commercial into residential. The City has been working to improve First Street. She reported the Shell Station location is the odd "duck" on the street being commercial with everything else being residential. She added everything is residential on Peters and reported she has been contacted by many residents in the vicinity of the gas station and have been firm in their opinion that the City should get rid of the gas station and want residential for consistency on that side of the street. She expressed her support in annotating the residential with a PUD on the Downtown Specific Plan Land Use Diagram and felt it is consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan Goals of preserving and protecting residential neighborhoods and having them continue to be a desirable place to live. Should this pass, there should be a demand of the property owner to schedule a workshop with the Planning Commission to discuss the type and density. She referenced the Barone property and noted the goal is to increase the vitality and the vibrancy of the Commercial District by activating the streets off Main Street with commercial and trying to integrate the arroyo as a public benefit. To eliminate commercial would be inconsistent with the goals of the Downtown Specific Plan. At this point she cannot support the annotation of 100% residential on it but supports the annotation of a Mixed Use Transitional with a PUD. She added it would be beneficial to take the time and develop a creative use for the property. MOTION: It was m/s by Narum/Pentin to have an annotation on the property located at 4212 First Street with 100% residential via a PUD and add an annotation on the property at 475 - 493 St. John Street, excluding the residents, annotating the Mixed Use Transitional with a PUD. Councilmember Pentin confirmed currently, an application for mixed —use could be submitted for Barone property without a PUD. Director of Community Development Beaudin responded affirmatively but stated they would probably be asking for a PUD, quickly, because of development standards and other constraints on the site, including parking. Councilmember Brown stated she does not like for pieces of property zoned differently on the outliers, noted there is a need for a gas station in the area, and wondered if Council should not wait for the DSP. Councilmember Narum noted residents are concerned with the blighted condition of the Shell Station. Councilmember Pentin withdrew his second and asked that the motion be restated to address the two properties, separately. Councilmember Narum withdrew her motion. MOTION: It was m/s by Narum/Pentin to annotate the property located at 4212 First Street with 100% residential via a PUD and require a workshop detailing the application through a public process. Councilmember Testa wondered why the item could not be addressed in the regular review process instead of waiting for the completion of the DSP. She stated she would not support taking it out of a standard process. Motion passed by the following votes: Ayes: Councilmembers Brown, Narum, Pentin, Mayor Thorne Noes: Councilmember Testa Absent: None City Council Minutes Page 8 of 12 May 7. 2019
