City Council Meeting Minutes August 31, 2021 Page 10 of 14 Councilmember Fahey stated she likes the idea of clustering. Even if all of the property is not designated as City Open Space it will still feel like open space. She is willing to give concessions such as another story on their buildings to encourage such clustering Mayor Pro Tern Maloney also likes that idea and suggested there may need to be some flexibility on density and height in the PUD process to make that happen. Councilmember Dickinson asked the applicant if it is possible to put all 3M sf south of Disc Drive. Baukol stated that such clustering would require the building to go higher which might then eliminate some uses such as research and development so that will be a challenge. He stated if it was all office it could be done, but it will require more work to see if it is possible. Councilmember Dickinson state he would like to see the development as far south as possible but using the Disc Drive line may not make sense. Councilmember Lipton stated if this is the requirement it would mean this is an office park not a mixed use park. The consensus of the majority was to change the condition to require 93 acres to be dedicated and as Open Space and zoned on dedication. There was also consensus that the intent is for the buildings to be clustered on the south of the property, preferably south of Disc Drive, so the open land is as contiguous as possible with Parcels C and A. Director Zuccaro stated this may have to be a note on the GDP rather than a condition in the ordinance. Condition #5 The applicant shall be provided an additional (43,560 X FAR of. 27) 11,761 square feet of building space development for every additional acre of Open Space dedicated to the City above the required 83.7 acres in locations and amounts approved by the City up to a total Public Open Space dedication of 100 acres. The consensus was to strike this condition as this issue was basically addressed in the previous condition. Condition #6 All buildings shall be heated, cooled and provided hot water by electric power and that the use of natural gas will be limited to providing back up emergency electrical generation power and only for the process uses where the best available technology cannot rely on electrical power or if electrical power is deemed impractical or infeasible. Mayor Stolzmann stated she prefers to stay with the applicant's proposal rather than this condition. Councilmembers Dickinson and Brown agreed.
