The Planning and Zoning Commission held workshops on October 14, 2009, December 15, 2009 and January 19, 2010, discussions were held relative to text changes to Section 40, "MXU" Mixed Use District, and defining a boundary area for the district. In general, the following amendments were proposed by the Commission: • Revision of the Purpose statement to better clarify the use of the district • Establishing a geographic boundary within which rezoning requests to "MXU" Mixed Use District must be relegated • Requiring a minimum of two of the three standard components of mixed use, i.e. residential, retail, and office, within a development • Requiring a residential component within a mixed use development and establishing a minimum percentage of this residential component • For projects that propose a hotel in addition to the required residential component, a third component, e.g., retail or office, will also be required • Free standing restaurants, retail, and movie theaters to be considered as conditional uses • Adding "governmental uses" to the list of civic uses allowed in the Principal Uses section • More clearly declaring the residential nature of items 1 and 2 in the Accessory Uses section • Removing paragraph G. General Conditions from paragraph U. Flexible Standards A joint work session between the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission was held on June 15, 2010 to further discuss the proposed changes and to receive input from the City Council relative to these changes. Discussion at that work session primarily centered on redefining the boundary area in which the district could be requested. A brief discussion was also held relative to more clearly stating the parking requirements for the district and the height of structures in the district when located adjacent to or near established residential property. A statement was added to paragraph K. Parking, further clarifying that the guidelines contained with the "MXU" 081710 4 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING AUGUST 17, 2010 Mixed Use District are those that apply. No changes to the height requirements were proposed during the joint work session given that the redefined boundary area may not be near any established residential areas. A subsequent Planning and Zoning Commission work session was held on July 6, 2010 to further discuss and recommend changes to the Mixed Use District guidelines. In particular, the following changes /amendments were proposed by the Commission: • Reduce the minimum square footage requirement for townhomes to 1,200 rather than the 1,600 square feet stated in the district to match that required in the "R- TH" Townhouse District regulations • Elimination of minimum height requirements for all categories within the district • Require a conditional use permit for all free - standing single use structures • Develop wording to require additional separation for structures adjacent to existing residential uses • Allow on- street parking to count towards a uses required parking total only if it is adjacent/contiguous to the use in question. Given the scope of the changes proposed and the need to further continue the discussion on defining a geographic boundary for which a request to rezone property to the Mixed Use District can be considered, the Commission recommended the district be temporarily deleted from the zoning ordinance in its entirety until it is completed. With no further questions, guests to speak, nor letters or petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's deliberation session, Herb Fry moved to temporarily delete Section 40, "MXU" Mixed Use District in its entirety.
