After that we should be able to meet in-person again in council chambers. April 27, 2022Meeting Minutes–It was motioned by CommissionerRoseand seconded by Commissioner Monick to approve the meeting minutes ofApril 27, 2022as presented.The motion carried unanimously. Docketing of the 2022 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applications–Calhoun provided a timeline on the 2022 CPA process. One application was submitted which is a city-initiated project th for the SE corner of 40and Summitview. This application is similar to one that submitted in 2021 but was ultimately withdrawn due to an issue with property owners’signature and an appeal of the SEPA determination. This project is only to amend the Comprehensive Plan which willallow for future submission of a Rezone. HAP Implementation –Phase 2–Calhoun discussed options for mixed use development. HAP strategy 7 is to create design standards for multifamily and mixed-use development. We do have current codes related to mixed-use master plan development, mixed-use building land use, and parking standards. What our code does not have are set design standards specific to mixed-use. The packet includes examples from Issaquah and Puyallup. The Issaquah code includes minimal standards related to compatibility. The Puyallup code is extensive in that it includes more standards related to approval criteria, opens space, themes, etc. It includes prohibited uses such as motor vehicle sales, drive-throughs, etc.; design principles for street orientation, parking, driveway entrances; and some reduced parking standards and also a maximum parking standard. Commissioner Liddicoat asked about Puyallup’s affordable housing incentive. Their code allows for additional market rate units above the standard density if affordable units are included, parking reduction, and increase in building height. Commissioner Wallace asked about the definition of affordable. City Attorney Watkins stated that the threshold is residential housing where housing costs do not exceed 30% of expenses. Low income households is below 80% ami (area median income) for the county. Calhoun listed some recent mixed-use applications: Howard Johnson hotel downtown, 16-unit live/work space at Front St and Chestnut, YHA project on Fruitvale and thth 6, Mixed-Use PD at 96and Tieton. Mixed-use building is a Type 1 review in commercial zones, vs. residential use being a Type 2 review. Commissioner Hughes-Mickel asked about design standards. Calhoun stated that design standards wouldbe created for the type of use –things like open space, parking standards, etc. We could include a specific code section for mixed-use development, similar to what we recently did for cottage housing, to streamline the review -1- process. Commissioner Monickdiscussed a need for looking at parking standards, identifying prohibited uses, and parking standards.Commissioner Liddicoat stated that a lot of the standards in the Cottage Housing section can translate overto the Mixed-Use development category. Calhoun will continue to research other city codes and develop some track changes for review. Monick asked if the MFTE allows for mixed-use. Calhoun stated that it does but the tax incentive only applies to residential. The MFTE boundary is limited, and expansion and/or standards are something that can be looked at, which is also one of the HAP strategies.Hughes-Mickel asked about mixed-use development and if that creates a new zone. Calhoun stated that our Future Land Use designations have commercial and community mixed-use. The implementing zones are primarily commercial but other uses are allowed. The planned development chapter essentially creates its own zone. It isn’t noted on the zoning map as a new zone, but the end result is similar due to the creation of a development agreement. Liddicoat asked about the mixed-use building definition; Calhoun readthe definition which is pretty open-ended. There may be some interaction between the zoning definition and the building codedefinition of a mixed-use building. Public Comment–Nopublic comment, but Shannon Needham had sent in an email thanking the Planning Commission for the definition change. Other Business–Liddicoat asked about the process to develop plans for pre-approved ADUs. Calhoun stated that we are still looking at how that will be developed. Adjourn–A motion to adjourn to May 25, 2022was passed with unanimous vote. The meeting adjourned at approximately 3:35p.m. Chair Liddicoat Date This meeting was filmed by YPAC.
