Motion Carried. <br />7. COMMISSION BUSINESS <br />7.01: Zoning Code Update: Mixed Use/COR <br />Planning Manager Larson presented the Staff Report and welcomed input on the proposed changes <br />as well as any additional changes the Commission would like to see. <br />Commissioner Bauer commented that he agreed with the elimination of COR-5 and COR-3a, <br />instead using the city-wide districts of P and PI. <br />Acting Chairperson Gengler agreed that those additional districts are not needed when those uses <br />could easily go within other zoning districts. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy stated that all the districts within the COR are specialized. He stated that <br />there is additional flexibility allowed within the COR districts that would not be available in the <br />other districts. He asked that if that flexibility would still be provided within the park district. <br />Planning Manager Larson provided some example language that they will be considering for the <br />park district in the coming discussions. He was not concerned that they would lose anything by <br />making this change. He stated that at this time they do not have a plan for the design framework <br />but could review and update that in the coming year as well. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy commented that some of these changes proposed would make changes <br />to the design framework. <br />Planning Manager Larson commented that would be true because they would be eliminating <br />districts but noted that some of those districts were not original to the design framework. He noted <br />that the focus at this time is on the City Code and those zoning code updates. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff commented that by removing COR-5 from Code but having it within <br />the design framework would not be an issue because COR-5 will not exist and therefore nothing <br />could be built. He agreed that at some point they should also update that design framework. He <br />noted that if there were conflict between the document and City Code, City Code would prevail. <br />Planning Manager Larson continued to review the proposed changes. He asked for guidance on <br />indoor recreation uses and whether that should be added to the allowed uses. <br />Commissioner Peters stated that he would not want a roller derby rink but would be okay with a <br />bowling alley that has a restaurant and video games. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy asked how they would clarify what would be acceptable and what would <br />not be. <br />Planning Commission/ February 23, 2023 <br />Page 5 of 10 <br />
