The discussion is a continuation from the Dec. 5 meeting and no public comment will be taken. Staff now recommends allowing future developments to opt-out of “the more objective” form-based code review process and use “the more discretionary” site review process. Some business representatives and council members also expressed concerns about the requirement for General and Workshop buildings of a certain size to provide space for smaller local businesses. Staff suggested, rather than removing the requirement, adding in flexibility by allowing the smaller business space to be in-building or in separate structures onsite. Despite similar concerns, staff still recommends requiring at least 50% residential floor area in general buildings that exceed 35,000 square feet for developments following the form-based code.
