Commissioner O'Connor agreed and added that this way, it is not mandatory. <br /> Chair Narum summarized that Live/Live, Live/Work, and Active Use spaces along <br /> Gibraltar Drive are permitted uses on Parcel 2 and Parcel 3. <br /> Commissioner O'Connor proposed including the same for Parcel 1 as a developer <br /> option. <br /> Chair Narum suggested dealing with consensus for Parcels 2 and 3 for now. <br /> The Commissioners agreed. <br /> There was consensus that Live/Live, Live/Work, and Active Use spaces be <br /> permitted on Parcel 2 and Parcel 3 along Gibraltar Drive. <br /> Chair Narum stated that at the Task Force meetings, there were huge debates about <br /> retail and how much is enough. She added that most of the Commissioners do not <br /> have a lot of experience in retail in terms of what works and what does not. She noted <br /> that Live/Work was done as a compromise to indicate that this can be successful in the <br /> future, and Live/Work, Live/Live, and Active Use spaces would give the developer the <br /> ability to add in more retail should the need arise, without leaving any empty retail for <br /> the moment. <br /> Commissioner Blank noted that per BRE's letter, this is something the developer is <br /> willing to accept. He added that BRE can work with 5,000 square feet of retail on Owens <br /> Drive, and Live/Work, Live/Live, and Active Use for that frontage. He stated that he is <br /> not a retail specialist and would defer to Commissioner O'Connor. <br /> Commissioner O'Connor stated that Live/Work is a little bit different but he could <br /> support that. With respect to retail, he noted that there was a guideline that the depth at <br /> the corner should be 60 feet. He indicated that this should be eliminated as a required <br /> depth for a 5,000-square-foot retail. <br /> Chair Narum stated she believed there is a consensus to leave the retail, Live/Live, <br /> Live/Work, and Active Use spaces for Parcel 1 as written in the guidelines. <br /> There was consensus to leave retail, Live/Live, Live Work, and Active Use spaces <br /> for Parcel 1 as indicated in the Guidelines. <br /> Chair Narum indicated that she would open the floor to comments on what has so far <br /> been discussed so far. <br /> THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS RE-OPENED. <br /> EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, January 26, 2011 Page 28 of 40 <br />
