Recommended by Planning Commission.
The public hearing was closed and Ordinance No. 20100225-078 was approved with the staff's recommendation on Council Member Cole's motion, Council Member Spelman's second on a 7-0 vote. Additional direction in terms of the compatibility standards was given to staff to analyze the necessary densities needed to achieve transit, including light rail, in conjunction with the economic feasibility study for light rail currently being contemplated along the corridor, and how current compatibility standards might impact this. Should compatibility standards need to be adjusted to achieve such density, work with community stakeholders on amendments to compatibility standards that will continue to provide adequate protection to the single-family neighborhood. Similar to what was done with Transit Oriented Development (TOD), if there are any adjustments to current compatibility standards, they would be considered essentially bonus densities and be done in exchange or in consideration of community benefits. Regarding single-family areas, determine what impact it has on the density and whether or not there is a need to make those urban residential as opposed to neighborhood residential to achieve the numbers and provide Council with this information.
