Commissioner Brauer suggested an amendment be added to the motion noting the Commission <br /> had concerns about the timelines for the project and still adheres to the freeway or near- freeway <br /> vision for the corridor. <br /> Friendly Amendment: Commissioner Bauer amended his motion to state the Commission <br /> supported the Highway 10 Access Planning Study with the needed areas of further analysis <br /> identified within said resolution directing staff to address the long range concerns of the corridor <br /> and the need for a freeway. Commissioner Nosan supported the friendly amendment. <br /> Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Levine, Commissioners Bauer, Nosan, Brauer, Maul, <br /> and VanScoy. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br /> 5.07: Public Hearing: Consider Ordinance #14 -14 Amending City Code Section 117 -118 <br /> Entitled The COR Amending Minimum Floor Area Ratio and Maximum Parking <br /> Requirements in The COR -1 Sub - District <br /> Public Hearing <br /> Chairperson Levine called the public hearing to order at 8:17 p.m. <br /> Presentation <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill presented the staff report stating the purpose of this <br /> case was to consider an ordinance amending City Code to lower the minimum Floor Area Ratio <br /> from 0.75 to 0.65 in The COR -1 Sub - District. The Council has directed staff to consider an <br /> ordinance that would lower minimum density requirements in The COR -1 Sub - District and study <br /> how this amendment would impact the remainder of the future development of The COR, while <br /> still generally preserving the vision of the Development Plan. Staff discussed the request further <br /> and recommended adoption of an ordinance that allows densities to more incrementally and <br /> organically build. <br /> Citizen Input <br /> Brian Pankratz, CBRE, explained PSD was interested in completing a development on parcel 49 <br /> within The COR -1. He discussed the plans for parcel 49 and noted the density and floor to area <br /> ratio (FAR) did not meet the City's ratios. He then provided comment on the expense of <br /> structured parking. <br /> Mr. Brama explained PSD did not oppose structured parking, but wanted market demand to <br /> determine the level of density for future development and not to have structured parking be a <br /> requirement. <br /> Motion by Commissioner Bauer, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy, to close the public <br /> hearing. <br /> Planning Commission /October 9, 2014 <br /> Page 10 of 14 <br />
