Councilmember Woestehoff stated that this would allow the City to be open to new concepts and <br />different ideas but there would still be discretion to not approve something if the Commission and <br />Council do not find that the proposal would meet the intended desires. He used the example of a <br />tiny home community on a small parcel of land, which is just not something considered in the <br />zoning code but could be an interesting concept. <br />Commissioner Anderson agreed with the changes proposed thus far. <br />Planning Manager Larson continued to review the proposed changes for the public and quasi - <br />public districts. <br />Commissioner Anderson asked where the definition of quasi -public would be. <br />Planning Manager Larson provided further explanation. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff clarified that public/quasi-public would be the overall category and <br />the other uses within would be the subcategories. <br />Chairperson Bauer noted that currently the church is zoned R-1-MUSA with a conditional use <br />permit and asked if the property would be rezoned to PI and what the standards would then be. <br />Planning Manager Larson reviewed the proposed language for standards, "Due to the specialized <br />nature of each of the uses and buildings, no bulk standards shall exist. All proposed sites and <br />structures shall consider surrounding property uses in a respectful and intentional manner.". He <br />explained that because of the variety of uses within the district it would be impossible to create a <br />one size fits all set of standards. <br />Planning Manager Larson confirmed that he had sufficient input from the Commission on these <br />proposed changes. <br />5.02: Zoning Code Update: General Performance Standards (Part 1) <br />Presentation <br />Planning Manager Larson presented the staff report and requested feedback from the Commission <br />on the lighting standards as proposed. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy asked how the light would be measured at ground level and where the <br />light meter would be placed. <br />Planning Manager Larson provided additional details on how that would be measured. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy asked if residential backyard lighting would be addressed. <br />Planning Manager Larson provided details on where that is addressed. <br />Planning Commission/ March 2, 2023 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />
