Building_development

29:07 is required under our jointly adopted county-wide planning policies given the size of our ugas in this region and then we made a few additional changes adding some of those clarity clarifications on descriptions to the glossary we added a closing page again we we added an additional appendix on the multimodal evaluation and active trip potential analyses and then we did clean ups for formatting spelling grammar and accessibility so chair i don't know if you want to pause there for questions on the or just keep going at the end okay great well i will now turn it over to my colleague mark person who's going to talk about the zoning code thank you rebecca commission has seen this slide before but i'll go over it for anyone uh joining us tonight

30:02 uh maybe for the first time um as rebecca mentioned a major element of the comprehensive plan is that our title 20 that's our uh zoning code and our development codes for uh building out our city all parcels in the city currently have a zoning district base district i'll use those words interchangeably and they will have a new one once this plan and code is adopted those base districts will include minimum density and maximum height and really that's about it and and allowed uses as we have now a lot of the development standards that currently live within our 17 zoning districts will be moving to building types that's one of the major changes that this code is incorporating those standards that currently live in our

30:58 our our current zoning include things you know like lot size parking and building placement lot coverage the frontage landscaping and public space some areas will also have an overlay council excuse me commission and the public may recall we have many existing overlays we have our transit overlay we have our noise overlay we have our downtown overlay we're keeping those except the transit and we're adding some new ones we'll have station station overlays around our station areas we'll have some ground floor active use overlays and we'll have ground floor ready overlay among others the table on the right here is showing some major differences and similarities between our existing and new code again our existing

31:57 code as was mentioned early in the process and i think it bears re-mentioning is that nearly 50 percent of the land in the city right now is zoned exclusively for single family or duplex homes nearly every other use is prohibited by our zoning code our new the draft zoning code that will be adopted as part of this process allows much more mixing of those uses and that's critical we believe for accessible connected communities for livability for reducing vehicle miles traveled so really every zone with the exception of our heavy industrial and employment zones are essentially mixed use as far as density right now our

32:51 current code has minimums and maximums the new code will focus on on minimums we'll let our height maximums and other site standards really dictate what can be built on that site building heights again this is remaining the same those will be by the zone in our existing code and new code parking as rebecca mentioned right now we have minimums it's widely understood at this time that those have been copied from city to city to jurisdiction to jurisdiction and are based on very few data points and drive up the cost of development we are going to let the folks that build in this city let us know how much parking they need so there'll be no no minimums for most uses in the new code and building placement again we have

33:49 right now for the most part we have minimum setbacks we're going to include build two lines which is essentially a minimum and a maximum you know we don't want someone with a house with a 50-foot 100-foot setback we're looking for that relationship to the street we think that's important for our transportation network this slide is showing our comprehensive plan designations across the top those are the residential neighborhoods the urban mixed-use neighborhoods our employment and industry designation and then our green space under those comp plan comprehensive plan designations are nested our our base districts under the residential neighborhoods we'll have our mobile home designation that will cover our 16 existing mobile home parks in the city to in an attempt

34:47 to protect those from development pressures of being developed and we have a option for folks to file for a rezone if at some point in the future those those mobile home parks become unfeasible to continue operations we've also built in at council's direction and think shared with this commission that we will allow obviously the replacement repair and expansion of mobile homes and manufactured dwellings in those parks but will also allow other development provided it's permanently affordable then we have our low scale and medium scale neighborhoods the to round out the residential neighborhood plan districts our urban mixed-use plan district includes a mixed-use neighborhood and a regional activity district and then employment and

35:44 industry includes our institutional campus zone industrial employment zone and then heavy industrial and as we continue to say throughout this process heavy industrials pretty much
