City Council Meeting Minutes May 16, 2023 Page 4 of 7 972 WEST DILLON ROAD — 2"d READING, PUBLIC HEARING (advertised Daily Camera 5/7/23) Mayor Maloney introduced the item and asked for disclosures; seeing none he opened the public hearing. Planner Hassan reviewed the history of the property. She stated the existing development agreement limited uses on the site. It required special review use approval for several uses and several SRU's were approved on this site since it was built. The applicants propose an amendment to the development agreement to allow for new permitted uses either by right or by special review at 972 Dillon. She noted the inclusion of an amendment for the second reading to change "churches" to "religious institutions" which has a specific definition in the code. She stated that in the amendment any uses that are not listed as by right or by SRU are specifically prohibited. Staff believes this change meets the code and allows for more uses in the McCaslin corridor. Staff recommends approval of the ordinance. Councilmember Most asked if these changes to allow non -retail uses would impact sales tax revenue. Hasan stated staff believes these uses make sense for a parcel of this size and the underlying zoning, and may help reduce vacancy rates in the area. Public Comments — None. Councilmember Most thanked staff for correcting the term churches to religious institutions to better reflect the community desires. Mayor Maloney stated he believes this won't affect sales tax as there are still retail areas on the site. Public Comments — None. Councilmember Hoefner agreed with Maloney that making these changes is good for the property and may help reduce vacancy rates in this area. Mayor Pro Tern Fahey agreed. Mayor Maloney closed the public hearing. MOTION: Councilmember Most moved to approve Ordinance. No. 1853; seconded by Councilmember Leh. Vote: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote.
