The motion carried unanimously. Building Code and Mixed-Use Development–Glenn Denman discussed the interaction between the building code and how it applies to mixed-use development. Each space in the building is individually classified. The size of the building and its uses determine requirements such as fire sprinklers, rated separation, etc. Commissioner Place asked about how mixed uses determine parking. Eric Crowell stated it depends on the number of uses and type. Chair Liddicoat discussed mixed-use building being a lower level of reviewand how it can be utilized to reduce the level of review in certain zones. Sara Watkins provided the definition of mixed-use building in the zoning ordinance. Commissioner Rose asked about the safety aspect of a mixed-use building related to fire. Denman discussed the different separation requirementand outlined the different types (1-hr, 2-hr, etc.). ADU Approved Plans RFP Progress–Liddicoat provided some background on the pre- approved ADU plan concept. Denman provided an update on the ADU pre-approved plans project. A draft RFP is currently being reviewed by the Purchasing department. Perhaps the Planning Commission could be part of the review and scoring process. Once plans are approved and chosen by the property owner, we would simply need to review the site plan for placement. The structure itself would already be approved. The approved list could potentially be reviewed/updated annually to keep up with building code changes. Rose noted that these plans will also help with affordable housing by reducing the permit impact on developers. Hughes-Mickel asked about how many ADU applications are typically submitted in a year and if it would be worthwhile to go through the RFP process if it is minimal. Commissioners discussed that pre- approved plans may encourage more development. For timelines, maybe a numerical threshold can be included as the benchmark for new designs. Denman stated that Energy Code updates will likely be the most significant change that would require redesign. Liddicoat suggested keeping the notice for the RFP to local firms. Public Comment–None -1- Other Business–Commissioner Place thanked Commissioner Rose for his service to the YPC, as this is his last official meeting. Place asked about planning commissioner training.
