Answering roll call were David Brown, Sara Garton, Richard Compton, Roger Hunt, Bruce Kerr and Jasmine Tygre. Tim Mooney was absent. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS David Brown: Would you ask Bill Drueding to look at the lights around Sandy's Office Supply. I have a feeling they are not in conformance with code. These are in the window. Sara: Are all of you aware that the Aspen Theatre Co has changed it's name to Theatre in the Park? I wrote them a note whether they thought it was appropriate since they are a conditional use there. Jasmine: I don't think we have the right to regulate that. They can call themselves whatever they want.

Leslie made presentation as attached in record. Sunny Vann: The majority of the amendments basically clarify prior staff policy and provide additional flexibility with respect to parking requirements in the 0 Office zone. That flexibility is at the discretion of the P&Z. Bruce: What are the objective standards for us to make that determination? Vann: We used the same standards that were in effect in 1988. Bruce: So that is codified already. Vann: Yes. And it is being expanded slightly as part of this code amendment. Roger: Getting down to the nitty gritty of it--I think there are a couple of places that use of the term existing structure but it tends to be mute in the existing code or the actual amendment. What you do talk about is change in use. You can't have a change in use without a structure so the structure is implied there but nowhere specifically stated and it would be a good idea that in order to kick in this type of thing it is the desirability of utilizing an existing structure as part of the criteria. Vann: Limit it to a change in use but go forward saying one of the criteria is the fact that the existing structure is to be retained, or remodeled or adapted for use or whatever. Roger: Exactly. Leslie: Actually the code reads "Any change in use of an existing structure" and it is not in here. Jasmine: I think that should be included. Are there any comments about the specific language in the amendment that are not clear or need to be added to? 2 PZM3.3l.92 Roger: On page 3 paragraph 2 sub l--where the additions were-- "The applicant shall demonstrate the parking needs of the residents, customers, guests and employees of the project have been met taking into account the potential uses of the parcel". Here is where I am interested in adding "The projected traffic generation of the project, it's proximity to mass transit routes and the downtown area". I think what we are missing here is the projected parking impacts of the neighborhood should be considered as well--on street parking impacts. Vann: "The impact of the reduction on existing on-street parking in the area". That is what you are really looking at. Roger: I have one which is not specifically to this change. I have mentioned this to Leslie before. I always see these fixed dollar amounts in our codes and what happens is when this was established in 1988 or so I think when we indicate a dollar amount for parking spaces--$15,OOO after a few years might be real cheap. And so I would like to see when we work dollar amounts into codes that we set it to a year dollar price. There was no one from the public present and therefore no public comment. MOTION Jasmine: proposed meeting. I will entertain a motion to recommend approval of the text amendment as contained herein and as amended at this Roger: I so move. David seconded the motion with all in favor. Meeting was adjourned. Time 3
