Mr. Weinstein replied that staff could definitely do that. He added that, just as a <br />cautionary note to the Commission, the list of Council Priorities is quite voluminous, so it <br />could be pretty challenging to get something like this on the Council Priorities list. He <br />noted, however, that that should not stop the Commission from thinking critically about <br />these issues that are related to the community. <br />Chair Allen stated that it is looming, so now is the time for the Commission to think <br />about it and be prepared. She asked Mr. Weinstein to include in the report how much <br />money would be needed to build a parking structure so the Commission has an end <br />point in mind. <br />Mr. Weinstein said yes <br />Commissioner O'Connor inquired, theoretically, if the Commission came up with a <br />proposal to modify what is existing today and send it to Council and the Council <br />approves it, if this is a relatively easy or quick fix for staff to modify what is there or if this <br />is really a complicated thing to put together. He stated that it sounds like it should be <br />fairly straightforward and easy. <br />Ms. Harryman replied that it would depend on how easy or difficult the recommended <br />changes would be to draft. She stated that, for example, one thing discussed and easy <br />to draft would be whether or not terraces and outdoor patios should be included or <br />maybe have a cap, so it requires only counting or getting only up to "x" amount for free <br />and then after that, it counts towards the square footage at one space per 300 square <br />feet. She added that she suspects the PDA will have a great interest in this, and the <br />Council, before adopting even what seems like a simple change like that, may want to <br />have community meetings and other things to discuss that. She noted that this would <br />be an ordinance change which would take two reading and 30 days thereafter to <br />become effective. She then indicated that there are some recommendations that would <br />probably be more controversial and take a little bit more thought and flushing out. <br />Commissioner Nagler commented that it starts with the conversation of this <br />Commission. <br />Ms. Harryman said yes. <br />8. MATTERS FOR COMMISSION'S REVIEW /ACTION /INFORMATION <br />a. Future Planning Calendar <br />Mr. Weinstein advised that there will be two items for the next Planning Commission <br />meeting: an appeal of a Zoning Administrator decision on a Design Review application <br />for a single - family addition; and a Conditional Use Permit for a piano tutoring facility, <br />which will be on the Consent Calendar. He indicated that the Commission will receive <br />staff report for both items. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 13, 2015 Page 31 of 32 <br />
