for the Spring 2003 Biannual Revisions, Clarifications and Additions to the
Land Use Code, from the discussion agenda to the consent agenda with
noted deletions

Chairman Torgerson asked to see a staff presentation on the Canyon & Howes
Project Development Plan prior to voting on the consent agenda.
City Planner Bob Barkeen gave a brief staff presentation recommending
approval. The site is located at the southwest corner of Canyon Avenue and
Howes Street within the downtown area. There is an existing drive -though bank
facility that would be demolished. There is a small triangular shaped lot located
immediately to the southwest of the site that is also included in the plan. It would
be used for an 8-space parking lot. Thirty-six other parking spaces will be
provided below ground. These will be reserved for the residents that occupy the
project itself. The project consists of 20 multi -family residential units on the upper
four floors of the building: the entire project is six stories in height. The lower two
levels will be for office/retail uses that would be permitted within the downtown
zone district. The residential units would be condominiums and a for sale
product. Many of the mature streetscape trees will remain; some of the smaller
trees will be relocated either on the site, further to the south, or off -site. There is
an entrance at the southeast corner of the building and the primary entrance is
located at the very corner of Howes and Canyon. All elevations show a great
deal of articulation and a variety of building materials. There is a separate small
building for the mechanical components.
Vice -Chairman Gavaldon moved for approval of Consent Items 1, 3, 4 and 6
with the changes as noted.
Member Carpenter seconded the motion.
The motion was approved 6-0.
