Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />April 13, 2023 <br />Page 7 of 12 <br />Ritchie says additional analysis is required and the hearing could be continued if <br />the commission needs that information. Staff could not complete that analysis <br />tonight. <br />Krantz if we are allowing certain uses like many restaurants or fastfood <br />restaurants under this GDP, to go up to a density that would allow twice the size <br />of the building, would this affect traffic impact? Concerned that the maximum <br />would need to be considered. <br />Ritchie the maximum has been established already. Staff ensures that any new <br />development in this GDP would comply with all provisions. Because this is only a <br />use restriction and doesn't deal with building size at all staff has not explored <br />possible changes to current maximums. <br />Applicant Presentation: <br />Wade Arnold, The Colorado Group <br />Arnold says the property owner purchased this several years ago and at the <br />time of purchase, there were several uses that are actually prohibited now. We <br />are looking to backfill the building so we do not have huge vacancies. We have <br />run into uses being prohibited and lists examples of uses. He discusses the <br />difficulties of getting tenants because of the use restrictions. <br />Commissioner Questions of Applicant: <br />Brauneis says there are two office uses mentioned. What is your reaction to <br />perhaps excluding those? <br />Arnold says he is not familiar enough with the City code of what constitutes an <br />office. He discusses what kind of businesses could be in the space if they were <br />being used as an office space. He can see more service -oriented offices in this <br />space in the future. <br />Krantz asks if they have had any communication or feedback with the <br />neighboring tenants. <br />Arnold says he is not aware of any feedback from the neighbors. <br />Public Comment: <br />None is heard. <br />Closing Statement by Applicant: <br />None is heard. <br />Closing Statement by Staff. <br />Krantz mentions to staff that the wording in this list does not match exactly the <br />wording in the code. Was the intention to simplify the wording to make it more <br />user friendly? <br />Ritchie says staff was pulling from the code section 17.072.090 commercial and <br />office. <br />Krantz uses the example of an art gallery and not including museums and <br />cultural facilities. <br />24 <br />
