Item 98 - June 18, 2008
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance amending Chapters 2-1 and 25-2 of the City Code to amend the requirements and process for approving a planned unit development (PUD) district. Recommended by Environmental Board and Planning Commission.
There was a motion to close the public hearing and approve the first reading of the ordinance that was made by Council Member Martinez' and seconded by Council Member Leffingwell. Council directed staff to clean up the language in the ordinance concerning affordability before the final reading. Council Member McCracken offered a friendly amendment that 2.5.3 should read, "Either at least 10% of the units or 10% of the rental habitable square footage and 2.5.4 would read 5% of owner occupied or 5% of habitable square footage within the PUD." This was not accepted by Council Member Martinez, the maker of the motion. Council Member McCracken offered the following amendment to the main motion that was seconded by Council Member Cole and passed on a 4-3 vote. Those voting aye were: Mayor Wynn, Mayor Pro Tem Dunkerley and Council Members Cole and McCracken. Those voting nay were: Council Members Kim, Leffingwell and Martinez. The amendment was that 2.5.3 should read, "Either at least 10% of the units or 10% of the rental habitable square footage and 2.54 would read 5% of owner occupied or 5% of habitable square footage within the PUD." On Council Member Martinez' motion and Council Member Leffingwell's second, without objection the main motion was amended to approve the ordinance on all three readings and to include in the ordinance a provision that requests for PUD district zoning initiated before the adoption of this ordinance shall be processed and reviewed under the standards in effect on the date of adoption of this ordinance and those standards are continued in effect for that purpose only. There was a substitute motion from Council Member McCracken to approve the first reading only of the ordinance allowing staff time to clean up the language concerning affordability. This failed for lack of a second. Council Member McCracken offered a friendly amendment that the language in 2.5.3 and 2.5.4 regarding units being on-site or off-site be deleted so that 2.5.3 and 2.5.4 specify that affordable units must be a certain percentage and meet the other requirements of those sections to receive the bonus. This was accepted by Council Member Martinez, the maker of the motion. The public hearing was closed and Ordinance No. 20080618-098 was approved with the amendments on Council Member Martinez' motion, Council Member Leffingwell's second on a 7-0 vote.
