January 18, 2022 Page 3 The 2040 Plan focuses much of the implementation activity on Residential and Housing-related policy. The following “Action Steps” (of 14 total such steps) are identified as relating to Commercial and Industrial land uses: 2. Conduct further study and planning on the re-development or better utilization of the current industrial park. 8. Plan for the re-development of underutilized commercial properties, especially those on higher volume streets and transit routes, for higher density, multi- family and senior housing. 10. Identify areas in the community for the development of new, higher end office space. 11. Utilize the Planned Unit Development re-zoning as a tool at key locations to promote market flexibility, integrated land uses, density and walkability. 14. Revise the zoning code to allow for residential uses in commercial districts, in order to better meet anticipated market and transportation trends. Discussion should include the following elements for each district: 1. What is, or should be, the focus of the subject district? 2. How does the purpose statement for the district further than focus, or fail to do so? 3. How should the uses in the district be altered to achieve that purpose? Removed? Changed between permitted or conditions? 4. Do any of the uses (or proposed new uses) in the district require additional specific conditions that should be listed in the ordinance? 5. Are there any recommendations as to performance standards for each of the districts to ensure that the purpose is met? a. Lot use and coverage. b. Architecture or materials. c. Accessory activities such as parking, truck storage, loading, storage. d. Other related issues. Staff will assemble comments from this initial discussion and prepare draft ordinance language for consideration as an upcoming meeting. The Planning Commission will need to hold a public hearing on that language prior to sending the material on to the City Council for adoption.
