EXHIBIT B MOTION: It was m/s by Brown/Testa to prohibit new residential behind commercial properties on Main Street. Motion passed by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Brown, Narum, Pentin, Testa, Mayor Thorne Noes: None Absent: None Relative to the Shell and Barone properties, Councilmember Testa did not feel the Downtown Specific Plan is the right place to rezone the properties and suggested they should go through the regular process. Mayor Thorne claimed staffs recommendations would accomplish that and would only allow them not to have to change the Specific Plan. Director of Community Development Beaudin asserted it would allow for mixed-use and the City would consider a straight residential project, a straight commercial project or a mixed-use project. Discussion followed regarding setting density on residential. Director of Community Development Beaudin reported as part of the public hearing process, the Shell site has a consistent zoning pattern around it and staff would apply that notation; for the Barone site, staff will do something similar and it will go through the public hearing process as well. Councilmember Narum commented on re-zoning done once there is a project and Councilmember Pentin stated it is not being re-zoned, and the City is simply saying, for the benefit of the Specific Plan, it will be finished and say they can be considered for either straight residential, straight commercial or mixed-use. They would not need to return asking for an update of the Specific Plan. Councilmember Testa noted concerns from the community about those properties becoming residential and did think this is the best use for the community. City Manager Fialho stated when the draft Specific Plan comes forward, Council will see the EIR and a zoning map and staff will identify a range of density for the site at that time. Prior to adoption Council will have the ability to provide direction on density. Director of Community Development Beaudin added staff will return to Council with the goal of setting a final number with the PUD application when it comes forward. In response to Councilmember Testa regarding EIRs, Director of Community Development Beaudin suggested current zoning would allow for an office building on the Barone site and that the applicant would help staff determine where those units would be located. The EIR is being done comprehensibly, throughout the whole area and as projects come forward, applicants will need to connect the dots between what the City has assumed and what the project does on a specific basis and there will be no additional costs. MOTION: It was m/s by Pentin/Thorne to accept the staff recommendation regarding owner- initiated land use requests. Motion failed by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Pentin, Mayor Thorne Noes: Councilmembers Brown, Narum, Testa Absent: None In response to Mayor Thorne's question regarding the conclusion regarding this matter, Director of Community Development Beaudin reported they will need to submit their applications, go through the process of changing the Specific Plan and do their own environmental review.
