Councilmember Musgrove stated that there were originally four proposed parking ramps which <br /> then became three. She noted that these are not in COR 1. <br /> City Administrator Hagen stated that there is a parking ramp proposed north of City Hall and <br /> showed the area on a map. <br /> Councilmember Specht added that they may not need to add this parking structure right away as it <br /> may not be needed currently but if they were to add a community center or a splash pad it may be <br /> needed. He noted that he would be okay removing this section of the code. <br /> Planning Manager Larson noted that the code does not specify that this would be a publicly owned <br /> parking structure. <br /> Councilmember Specht added that this would not stop someone from buying a parking structure it <br /> just would not require it. <br /> Councilmember Riley asked if the City ensures that there are at least two uses in every block. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff stated that if they remove this then an apartment could be in COR 1 <br /> and have no other use. <br /> Planning Manager Larson explained that this helps to reenforce the retail components. <br /> Councilmember Specht asked if developers have been intimidated by this since any development <br /> would have to have two uses. <br /> Planning Manager Larson stated that there are some things that are coming that are including a <br /> second use. <br /> Councilmember Riley shared that he has heard that apartments do not like including a secondary <br /> use. <br /> City Administrator Hagen explained that there has not been an interest in leasing out the retail <br /> space of these apartments right away; however, the apartment aspect could still make the project <br /> work. He added that the framework is for the long term vision, which is to get some retail along <br /> Sunwood. <br /> Planning Manager Larson explained that the next steps would be to have Staff update this as it will <br /> be a completely new code to remove all strike through items. <br /> Mayor Kuzma shared his appreciation for all of the work that was done on these updates as it will <br /> save the City a lot of money. <br /> Planning Manager Larson added that once this is updated there will be other codes that will come <br /> forward for review, including the nuisance code, signage code, subdivision code, and others. <br /> City Council Special Work Session/ October 17, 2023 <br /> Page 14 of 16 <br />
