Adopted DSP Policies and PMC Comments and Modifications to AGFUO during DSP Update As part of the public outreach for the public review draft, several stakeholders desired clarification on who determines "active use" and expressed concern if granting exceptions requires additional review, such as by the Planning Commission. Other commenters indicated that exceptions should come to the Planning Commission or to the Zoning Administrator in a manner that offers the ability to have public input. Staff recommended to the Task Force on February 26, 2019 to make the exception process subject to initial review and decision by the Director of Community Development, but to require notification of such determination to the Planning Commission. Additionally, the decision would be subject to appeal to the Planning Commission. The Task Force agreed with this approach, and City Council at check-in meetings on April 16 and May 7 did not make any changes to this approach. At its February 26, 2019, meeting, the Task Force recommended that the criteria for exception related to another active use existing on the same side of the street and same block be removed. City Council did not direct any changes to this recommendations during check-in meetings on April 16 and May 7. AGFUO and Side Streets Comments and Modifications during DSP Update The Task Force at its November 13, 2018, meeting, discussed whether the overlay should be extended to side streets. In response to outreach to various committees and commissions during the November- December timeframe, staff received feedback indicating if all "non-active" uses are moved to side streets, it may reduce foot traffic on Main Street. People coming to the "non-active" business (e.g., a bank or hair salon), may decide to shop while they are downtown but if they are on side streets, they may not go to Main Street. During the public outreach phase for review of the draft DSP, there was general support to not apply active ground floor uses to side streets. Staff recommended to the DSP Task Force to not modify the extent of the active ground floor overlay to include side streets; the Task Force at its February 26, 2019, meeting, agreed with this recommendation. Figure 4-2 of the adopted DSP indicates the AGFUO applies to Main Street and areas within the Mixed Use— Downtown land use designation. Buildings with multiple tenant spaces would be required to apply the AGFUO to the spaces fronting Main Street, in accordance with Policy LD-P.17.
