tea,, the firm ACI, has developed a set of interim development regulations and design standards for
Downtown (D) mixed use development. The new standards specifically address the unique
situation regarding the regulation and design ofmixed use development of properties within the
City. He outlined the long term plan for creating new mixed use standards, and explained how
this ordinance serves as an interim measure for developers that are working prior to the
completion of the regulations.
Ms. Putz made a motion to close the Public Hearing. Mr. Richardson seconded the motion. The
motion was apps°oved by a unanimous vote.
Discussion. ensued regarding the "Downtown" classification. Mr. Richardson inquired about
the meaning of the "Downtown" land use. Ms. Putz expressed concern that the new ordinance
would open the door to allowing downtown. development to encroach into existing
neighborhoods. Mr. Sizemore stated that in order to qualify for these standards, the property
would have to be designated D on the Future Land Use Map. This means that the land use
change would go through the Land Planning Agency and the City Commmission. In the long
term plan, staff anticipates that the Downtown classification will be broken into several new
mixed use categories, including a separate designation for the Historic District.
Mr. Miller emphasizedthat these are interim standards and that the final product will .include a
complete reworking of the comprehensive plan to fit the Commission's vision.
Ms. Putz expressed concern about traffic impacts. Mr. Miller stated that traffic would be
ultimately considered at the site plan phase, but. that it would also be addressed during the
CAPP program since 2 meetings are required prior to the Commission meeting.

ordinance. Mi•. Pride seconded the motion. The motio~~ was approved by a (~-0) Droll call vote.
