To reiterate, the City will be changing from the performance -based, flexible zoning ordinance known as the Land Development Guidance System to a new, more conventional zoning ordinance called the Land Use Code, probably by the end of March, 1997. Final draft copies of the LUC (dated 2/14/97) are available to the public at the downtown Kinko's store for about $12.00. Based on the current Draft Zoning Map, this property will see a change from HB-- Highway Business to C - Commercial Zoning. The development review process will not initially change dramatically, although changes to the process are being considered. It will be important to stay in contact with the City Current Planning Department so that, at the time you are ready to submit a development proposal, you are fully aware of the review process and fees that the project will be subject to. Enclosed with these comments are relevant sections of the latest draft of the LUC for your review.

Plant investment fees and water rights will apply to this development and the fees will be collected at the time of issuance of building permits. d.

Please contact Mike, at 221-6750, if you have questions about these comments. 5. Fred Jones of the Transportation Department offered the following comments: a. The proposed south access for this development should align with Kensington Drive or be separated by at least 200'.

The City will be implementing new Transportation Impact Study Guidelines after March 28, 1997 that will deal with the master street plan, street standards, vehicle levels of service, transit development plan, bicycle program plan, and a pedestrian plan. Please contact Eric Bracke, at 221-6062, for additional information about the guidelines. d. The required sidewalk along the frontage of Mason Street must be designed to the City's minor arterial street standard. Please contact Fred, at 221-6820, if you have questions about these comments. 6. Kathleen Reavis, the City's Transportation Planner dealing with bicycle/pedestrian facilities, stated that more direct access from the sidewalk to the building (minimizing the pedestrian and vehicular interface) must be provided. Also, bicycle parking should be provided. This proposal will be subject to the Site Planning and Design Standards (for all development) that are described in Article 3 of the new LUC that could be adopted by City Council on March 18, 1997 and go into effect on March 28th. There is a section in this article on access, circulation, and parking. 7. Gayl-ene Rossiter of Transfort stated that they do not have City public transit at this location yet; however, there are future plans to serve this area and they want good pedestrian access provided to the site for when public transit is available. b. The amount of parking shown on the concept plan is of concern. What is this facility going to be used for: new car display, auto storage, etc? The parking seems excessive for express lube, servicing, and maintenance. C. The handicapped parking requirement is 1 space for every 25 spaces, depending on the use of the site. If a portion of the parking is to be long term or display then the amount can be decreased. Please contact Gary, at 221-6760, if you have questions about these comments. 2.

Roger and Ron can be reached at 221-6570 if you have questions about these comments. 4. Mike Herzig of the Engineering Department offered the following comments: a.

The City is encouraging shared access along Mason Street, to minimize the number of access points along this arterial.
