Description
August 16 Form Based Code Workshop
A
For
the
attendees
that
are
with
us
this
evening
and
those
that
are
about
to
join,
welcome
to
this
zoom
space
with
us
tonight-
and
thank
you
for
being
here-
I
can't
promise
this
is
going
to
be
the
most
scintillating
hour
of
your
life,
but
this
is
really
important
work
and
it
really
takes
as
many
people
as
we
can
get
engaged
to
make
it
as
robust
and
representative
as
we
can.
So.
Thank
you
for
taking
the
time.
A
A
A
Our
director
david,
is
currently
sailing
with
his
wife
and
children
and
will
be
for
the
remainder
of
the
week.
So
we
are
holding
down
the
fort
here.
We're
also
joined
by
ben,
noble
who's,
our
form
based
code
consultant
and
he'll
be
providing
the
majority
of
the
information
tonight
as
well
as
maricela
estebas
wexler.
Who
you'll
probably
hear
me
calling
sella,
because
that
is
the
name
that
I
know
her
best
buy
and
stella
is
with
heather
equinos
consulting
and
will
be
helping
to
run
our
polling
this
evening.
A
So
jen
and
I
will
be
taking
kind
of
a
back
seat.
Ben
and
sela
will
be
doing
the
majority
of
the
presentation
and
we
will
be
fielding
any
technical
assistance
with
the
polling
so
really
briefly,
just
running
through
the
objectives
of
this
meeting.
We're
intending
to
provide
an
opportunity
to
both
educate
participants
on
key
aspect
of
design.
A
That's
going
to
guide
the
development
standards
that
we
build
into
our
form
based
code
as
well
as
gather
really
important
and
relevant
input
from
attendees
on
design,
priorities
and
preferences,
and
this
is
intended
to
be
a
really
targeted
workshop
to
provide
information
to
the
planning,
commission
and
the
city
council.
As
your
decision
makers
in
advance
of
their
study
session
the
evening
of
august
23rd,
which
is
a
week
from
today
in
the
evening.
A
And
tonight,
we'll
mostly
be
spending
our
time
focusing
on
areas
that
we've
heard
are
most
important
to
the
community
at
this
stage,
and
that
is
massing
height
and
our
proposed
community
benefits
system
and
a
couple
just
basics
of
the
agenda.
I'm
going
to
kind
of
give
a
little
bit
of
context
for
folks
who
might
be
coming
into
this
new
and
don't
have
a
lot
of
background.
A
Yet
on
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
today,
and
then
I
will
be
handing
it
off
to
sella
and
to
ben
to
run
us
through
some
of
the
education
around
the
forum
based
code
elements.
We're
going
to
be
talking
about
tonight
and
doing
a
lot
of
polling,
and
then
we
will
lay
out
next
steps
and
close
be
prepared
to
pull
throughout.
This
is
going
to
be
a
dynamic
meeting
with
many
presentations
separated
by
polling.
A
We
practice
this
beforehand
and
it's
definitely,
you
know
very
dynamic,
as
I
said
so,
don't
don't
walk
away
and
plan
for
it
to
take
about
an
hour
up
to
an
hour
and
a
half
of
pulling
and
educational
content
before
we
close
this
evening
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
now
to
sella
briefly
to
run
us
through
some
of
the
polling
and
kind
of
guide
us
through
some
warm-up
questions.
To
make
sure
everybody
understands
the
software.
B
Thank
you
dilo
hello.
All
my
name
is
maricela
estelle's
wesler,
as
dilo
said,
I'm
often
known
as
stella
or
moddy,
and
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
supporting
the
city
of
arcata
and
you
all
through
this
evening's
workshop.
I
want
to
start
with
a
brief
overview
of
the
technology
we're
using
today.
This
workshop
is
being
recorded
and
it
will
be
available
on
the
city's
youtube
channel.
We're
also
running
the
workshop
as
a
webinar
with
live
polling
and
I'll,
be
giving
instructions
on
how
to
participate
and
we'll
practice
with
that
shortly.
B
Please
note
that
we
will
not
be
monitoring
monitoring
the
raise
your
hand
function
today,
which
is
located
at
the
bottom
of
your
webinar
window.
If
you
are
having
technical
issues,
city
staff,
jen
and
delo
will
be
available
at
the
email
addresses
and
number
that
you
see
on
the
slide
here
to
offer
technical
support
as
needed.
So
please
take
a
moment
to
note
that
contact
information
should
you
need
it.
It'll
also
come
up
on
the
next
slide
and
mentioned
a
couple
other
times
through
as
we
go.
B
So
if
there's
anything
that
comes
up
tonight,
where
you
wanted
to
offer
more
insight
or
comments
or
questions,
there
will
be
further
opportunities
for
those
who
are
not
able
to
make
it
tonight
or
if
anyone
is
not
able
to
get
the
polling
software
to
work.
For
some
reason,
there
will
be
a
survey
with
the
same
information
and
questions
that
can
be
filled
out
at
a
later
time
and
finally,
a
reminder
to
have
grace
for
ourselves
and
each
other
as
we
go
through
this
process
together,
all
right
cyto
or
do
you
left
a
good
go?
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
our
slido
instructions,
so
we're
going
to
be
using
instant
polling
throughout
this
session
using
slido.
So
let's
get
that
set
up
and
complete
our
first
round
of
questions,
so
you
can
open
a
browser
on
your
smart
smartphone
or
any
other
device
of
your
choosing
computer
tablet,
and
once
you
get
there
with
your
new
browser,
enter
slido.com.
B
Once
on
the
main
page,
you'll
see
a
long
blue
oval
at
the
top,
where
you
can
enter
the
session
code,
it
will
ask.
Are
you
joining
as
a
participant
and
in
there
you
will
enter
the
code
fbc
one,
and
you
can
also
access
the
poll
by
scanning
the
qr
code
here
on
the
screen,
we're
going
to
be
using
slido
a
lot
in
today's
workshop.
So
please
leave
this
page
open
throughout
for
ease
of
access
and
participation
and
if,
for
some
reason
you
do
close
out
of
the
browser,
no
worries,
no
problem.
B
There
will
be
reminders
for
how
to
get
back
to
slido
as
we
go
along,
and
if
you
have
any
issues
you
can
contact
city
staff
for
technical
support
and
just
to
reiterate
one
more
time
if,
for
some
reason,
spider
is
not
working
for
you.
A
survey
with
the
same
information
being
covered
tonight
will
be
available
on
the
city's
web
page.
B
B
The
city
of
arcadia
would
like
to
learn
some
basic
information
about
who
was
present,
so
they
can
get
an
idea
of
whose
voices
and
perspectives
are
being
represented
this
evening
and
who
might
be
missing
as
they
continue
the
engagement
process.
So
let's
try
our
first
poll,
if
you
haven't
already,
please
make
your
way
to
slido.com.
B
One
thing
you
love
about:
arcata:
are
you
a
renter
owner
who
are
you
representing
tonight,
perhaps
you're
a
resident
of
arcata
and
representing
a
institution
organization,
etc?
What
race
best
represents
you?
Hispanic,
ethnicity,
if
applicable,
and
your
age
will
give
folks
some
time
to
get
to
the
slido
page
and
start
to
fill
out
the
bowl.
B
I
see
30
on
there
now,
so
you
can
continue
to
add
in
here
I'll
start
reviewing
what
some
folks
have
already
entered
for
this
first
question:
what
is
one
thing
you
love
about
arcata.
Clearly,
there
is
a
lot
to
love
some
of
the
more
common
words
that
folks
have
been
entering
include
walkabilities,
that's
the
largest
one
that
we
see
here
on
the
screen,
community,
small
town
feel
and
other
things
to
love,
you'll
see
all
around
farmers
market,
the
people,
student,
energy,
the
marsh
etc.
B
B
B
A
A
The
plan
has
been
out
for
close
to
a
year.
It
was
released
december,
1st
of
2021
and
we're
currently
in
the
process
of
incorporating
feedback
from
the
public.
This
various
city
committees,
the
planning,
commission
and
the
public
through
this
meeting
tonight
as
well,
and
we'll
be
working
on
that
over
the
course
of
the
next
few
months,
and
in
a
moment
I
will
be
showing
you
where
you
can
find
the
draft
plan
and
the
draft
engagement
report
that
accompanies
it
on
the
website.
A
This
plan
is
acknowledging
our
extreme
need
for
housing
in
this
community
and
it's
aiming
to
create
additional
opportunity
for
the
development
of
high-density
mixed-use
residential
infill
projects
in
a
particular
part
of
the
city,
but
in
addition
to
creating
a
streamlined
pathway
to
create
much
needed
housing.
The
vision
for
this
plan
is
to
create
a
vibrant,
distinct
and
attractive
series
of
neighborhoods
that
are
built
through
creative
place
making
and
that's
what
we're
going
to
be
working
on
tonight.
A
And
you
know
how
do
we
ensure
that
this
vision,
this
beautiful
vision
that
we've
set
through
this
plan,
becomes
a
reality?
A
key
part
of
that
is
the
approach
that
we're
going
to
be
going
through
tonight,
which
is
the
development
of
specific
regulations
that
will
guide
the
physical
form
of
all
new
development
in
the
gateway
area.
A
And,
as
I
mentioned,
this
is
our
second
workshop
on
form
based
codes,
where
we
will
be
exploring
elements
of
this
form
based
code
framework
that
will
be
guiding
design
and
the
workshops
will
be
covering
the
six
aspects
of
design,
as
ben
will
explain,
which
are
lock.
Configuration
building
placement
access
and
parking
building,
massing,
facade,
design
and
other
site
features
such
as
landscaping
requirements,
and
tonight
we
are
focusing
on
building
massing
in
height,
which
will
also
include
ways
to
minimize
the
scale
of
large
buildings,
because
we
know
from
the
engagement
that
we
have
done
that.
A
This
is
one
of
the
most
important
topics
to
the
community,
one
of
the
most
important
things
to
get
right
and
one
of
the
areas
that
the
community
still
wants
to
learn
a
lot
about
and
provide
feedback
on.
So
we
also
will
be
touching
on
community
benefits
that
we're
exploring
to
incentivize
developers
to
provide
community
amenities
in
exchange
for
increased
building
height
as
a
related
topic
to
height
in
the
various
zones
of
the
gateway
area,
and
we
wanted
to
also
just
draw
your
attention
to
where
on
the
website.
A
You
can
find
this
information
if
you,
google,
into
your
favorite
browser
strategic
infill
redevelopment
program,
arcata
or
even
sirp
arcata.
What
you're
going
to
find
is
this
page
and
it
has
information
about
what
the
gateway
area
plan
is
and
a
hour-long
video
running
through
the
current
draft
document.
And
if
you
go
to
the,
how
do
I
get
involved
tab?
A
What
good
design
looks
like
in
an
arcade
context
and
begin
to
reflect
back
what
we
are
understanding
as
the
priorities
of
this
community
and
through
the
course
of
all
of
these
public
meetings
and
walking
tours
and
committee
meetings
and
planning,
commission
meetings
and
council
meetings.
We
do
feel
like
we
have
a
sense,
at
least
of
some
of
the
key
areas
of
both
concern
and
opportunity
when
we're
talking
about
refining
design
standards
for
the
gateway
area,
and
so
I'm
going
to
just
go
through
those
right
now
before.
A
Development
of
this
form-based
code
can
also
speak
to
the
community's
interest
in
building
a
more
cohesive
visual
identity
for
the
gateway
area,
which
was
raised
often
by
folks
who
attended
our
walking
tours
throughout
last
summer
and
fall
and
through
this
development
as
well.
We
are
hoping
to
ensure
that
the
creamery
district
and
surrounding
area
does
not
lose
its
distinctiveness,
but
instead
remains
a
very
pleasant
place
to
spend
time.
A
So
we
have
heard
concerns
tied
to
site
development
and
redevelopment
specifically
related
to
heightened
massing
and
tonight
we
want
to
highlight
these
issues
and
provide
some
information
on
some
techniques
and
tools
in
our
toolbox
that
will
guide
good
design.
So
without
further
ado,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
ben.
So
he
can
really
dig
into
the
details
with
us.
E
But
before
we
do
that,
I
want
to
briefly
provide
some
background
information
on
what
a
forum
based
code
is:
why
we're
preparing
a
form-based
code
for
the
gateway
area
and
anticipated
contents
of
the
gateway
area,
form-based
code,
and
so
for
those
of
you
who
have
watched
the
the
informational
presentation
that
was
put
forward
a
couple
of
a
month
or
so
ago.
This
is
a
summary
of
some
of
that
information,
but
we
did
want
to
provide
this
just
to
make
sure
that
everybody
had
the
same
baseline
information.
E
E
So,
whereas
conventional
zoning
codes
typically
emphasize
allowed
uses
in
the
separation
of
allowed
uses
into
distinct
districts,
form-based
code
de-emphasizes,
the
separation
of
uses
and
typically
encouraged,
encourages
a
more
fine-grained
mix
of
land
uses.
A
form
base
contains
objective
standards
that
are
not.
Guidelines
are
not
subjective
requirements,
but
are
clear,
prescriptive
requirements
for
new
development
and,
lastly,
a
form
based
code
typically
presents
standards,
in
both
words
as
well
as
clearly
drawn
diagrams
and
other
visuals.
E
So
that's
a
summary
of
what
a
form-based
code
is
and
then
the
question
is
well.
Why
is
the
city
preparing
a
form-based
code
for
the
gateway
area?
Well,
the
city's
preparing
a
form-based
code,
because
the
form-based
code
will
be
an
effective
tool
to
implement
the
vision
of
the
gateway
plan
and
to
produce
high
quality
housing
desired.
E
So
the
gateway
area
plan,
the
draft
gateway
area
plan
that
delos
summarized
currently
divides
the
plan
area
into
four
sub-areas
shown
on
the
screen,
and
we
anticipate
that
the
form-based
code
will
use
these
same
sub-areas
with
standards
specifically
tailored
to
the
purpose
and
vision
for
these
sub-areas
later
tonight.
We
will
ask
your
thoughts
about
possible
standards,
for
these
sub-areas,
so
I'll.
Take
a
few
moments
now
to
review
the
location
and
vision
for
each
sub-area.
E
E
The
hub
sub
area
is
shown
in
blue
on
the
screen
again
bounded
by
the
dash
red
line,
and
this
is
the
area
north
of
8th
street
up
to
the
northern
limits
of
the
plan
area.
The
draft
gateway
area
plan
envisions
this
hub
sub-area
to
become
a
vibrant,
high-intensity
mixed-use
area
anchored
by
the
creamery.
E
E
The
code
will
addre
address
issues
relating
to
lock
configuration,
so
the
size
and
dimensions
of
parcels,
a
building
placement
so
where
buildings
are
located
on
the
parcel,
the
location
and
the
design
of
vehicle
or
access
and
parking
building
massing,
which
we'll
be
focusing
on
tonight.
The
design
of
facades
and
other
site
features.
E
So
all
of
these
dimensions
of
urban
design
contribute
to
the
quality
of
development
and
will
be
addressed
in
the
form-based
code.
Massing
standards
we
think,
are
particularly
important
for
the
forum
based
code
and
will
be
a
focus
of
our
meeting
tonight
and
that
future
meetings
we'll
be
addressing
some
of
these
other
issues.
E
E
Okay,
so
upper
story
step
backs.
This
is
our
first
massing
strategy
that
we
wanted
to
share
with
you
that
we've
been
thinking
about
for
the
gateway
area,
an
upper
story,
step
back
standard
would
require
building
walls
above
a
certain
height
to
be
set
back
from
the
building
walls
below
upper
story,
step
backs
could
be
required
when
facing
a
street
or
when
adjacent
to
a
lower
intensity.
Use.
E
I'll
now
show
you
three
examples
of
buildings
with
upper
story
step
backs
to
help
you
consider
whether
an
upper
story,
step
back
requirement
would
be
desirable
for
the
gateway
area.
So
here's
a
photograph
of
a
three-story
mixed-use
building
right
up
against
the
sidewalk,
with
housing
above
ground
floor
commercial.
E
Now
the
entire
length
of
the
street
facing
third
story
is
stepped
back
about
10
feet
from
the
first
and
second
floor
building
wall
below.
So
this
is
an
example
of
a
third
story,
step
back.
Here's
a
larger
building.
This
is
a
seven-story
mixed-use
building
again
with
housing
above
ground
floor
commercial
and
with
this
building.
The
sixth
and
seventh
stories
are
stepped
back
about
40
feet
on
the
street
side
across
from
existing
lower
intensity
homes.
On
a
side
street,
so
that's
another.
E
Then
the
building
steps
up
from
that
to
three
stories
and
then
from
there
four
stories
with
the
maximum
building
height
of
being
50
feet.
So
this
is
another
application
and
another
example
of
of
a
upper
story,
step
back
so
so,
like
I
said,
these
are
some
strategies,
some
massing
strategies
that
we're
considering
for
the
gateway
area.
There
are
others
that
we'll
talk
about
in
a
few
minutes,
but
we
now
want
to
hear
your
thoughts
on
whether
upper
story.
E
B
There
will
be
an
opportunity
to
offer
additional
suggestions
or
ideas
related
to
breaking
up
building
massing
after
we
go
through
each
design
aspect
with
a
little
more
open
format.
Question
so
just
stay
tuned
for
that.
If
you
do
need
to
reopen
spido,
there's
a
qr
code
and
also
the
information
to
get
back
to
pulling
here
on
the
shared
screen.
C
B
B
C
B
B
B
E
Great,
thank
you
so
much
so.
The
next
massing
strategy
that
we've
been
thinking
about
is
requirement
for
varied
building
heights
on
a
single
development
site
and
there's
sort
of
two
possible
ways
to
approach
this.
One
is
to
have
a
rule
that
buildings,
above
a
certain
height,
must
include
variation
in
the
number
of
stories
within
that
development
project.
E
That
might
be
another
way
to
get
at
this,
but
two
two
approaches
to
a
varied
building,
height
requirement
and
so
I'll
show
again
three
examples
of
development
that
has
varied
building
heights.
So
here's
a
multi-family
residential
building
and
on
this
one
development
site
there
are
the
buildings
divided
into
distinct
volumes,
each
with
a
different
height.
So
you
can
see
on
your
left.
There
are
these
town
homes
that
are
at
two
stories
with
a
steeply
pitched
roof.
E
E
There's
a
fourth
volume
that
is
again
at
four
stories,
so
here's
an
example
of
a
single
larger
development
site
where
a
building
is
divided
into
multiple
volumes,
each
of
which
has
a
different
height.
So
here's
a
second
example.
This
is
the
side
of
the
building
actually
to
your
right
is
sort
of
a
mixed
use.
Ground
floor,
commercial
upper
story
residential
and
to
your
left
is
a
separate
structure,
but
it's
part
of
the
same
development
site,
that's
sort
of
town
homes
that
are
oriented
to
the
interior
of
the
lot.
E
You
can
see
that
there's
a
lower
intensity
residential
use
to
the
left
of
that
townhome
component
of
the
project,
and
you
can
see
that
the
project
is
divided
into
these
multiple
buildings,
with
the
row
of
town
homes,
to
the
left,
being
three
stories
and
then
the
larger
taller
main
building
being
at
five
stories.
So
this
is
another
example
of
a
project
that
incorporates
varied
building
heights
in
part
to
provide
a
sensitive
transition
to
the
lower
intensity
uses
that
are
abutting.
E
E
That's
where
the
tallest
portion
of
this
building
is
at
five
stories.
You
also
have
a
four-story
component
of
the
project
at
the
interior
of
the
site
and
then
to
the
right.
There
is
a
three-story
component.
These
are
town
homes
that
are
facing
lower
intensity,
mostly
single-family
homes,
to
the
rear
street,
so
again
height
variation
that
is
used
to
provide
visual
interest
and
to
break
up
massing,
but
also
to
provide
for
sensitive
transitions
to
adjacent,
lower
intensity
residential
uses.
B
B
B
Do
not
think
it
should
be
included
in
the
form
based
code
for
those
who
wanted
to
specify
which
areas
which
sub
areas
gateway
corridor
and
neighborhood
are
tied
for
the
highest
percentage.
73
percent
of
respondents
think
it
should
be
applied
in
those
sub
areas,
59
for
hub
and
50
for
the
barrel
district.
E
E
They
can
be
combined
in
different
ways
to
promote
sort
of
a
more
walkable
community
oriented
gateway
area,
which
was
you
know,
two
concepts
that
really
rose
to
the
top.
When
we
first
talked
heard
your
thoughts
on
what
you
love
about
arcata.
So
this
third
strategy
is
breaks
in
the
street-facing
wall,
so
this
strategy
would
sort
of
can
be
accomplished
in
sort
of
two
two
general
ways.
E
E
So,
let's
see
here
so
I'm
going
to
give
again
a
couple
of
photographic
examples
of
the
strategy.
Here
is
a
town
home
development,
a
row
of
townhomes
that
are
facing
the
street
and
this
building,
including
all
of
the
units,
has
a
width
of
135
feet
with
six
units
within
that
135
feet.
So
one
possible
strategy,
maybe
for
certain
areas
or
the
gateway
area
overall,
is
to
establish
a
maximum
width
of
any
single
building.
E
So
these
volumes
are
connected,
but
they
do
read
as
distinct
volumes
from
the
street
and
here's.
My
third
and
final
example
of
breaks
in
street-facing
building
facades.
This
is
a
this-
is
a
large
building,
a
larger
mixed-use
building.
That's
fronting
a
busy
street
and
there's
a
large
break
in
this
front.
Facade
it's
a
15
foot
by
25
foot
break
in
the
street
facing
facade.
B
Thank
you
ben,
so
we
are
back
over
in
slido
and
at
this
point
you
know
the
drill
here
for
brakes
and
street
facing
building
walls.
Please
specify
if
you
think
that
these
should
be
applied
at
all
in
the
gateway
area,
whether
to
all
of
it
some
or
not
at
all,
and
if
you
think
it
should
be
applied
to
some,
please
select
as
many
as
you
think
it
should
apply
to
in
the
second
question,
we'll
give
folks
some
time
as
those
responses
come
in.
B
B
B
Please
save
comments
and
questions
for
later
in
this
more
open
format
for
questioning
and
use
this
time
to
generate
suggestions
and
ideas
that
you
may
have
related
to
breaking
up
building
massing
other
than
what
you've
heard
so
far.
So
we
just
want
to
see
in
the
room
what
brilliance
is
present
that
maybe
wasn't
represented
yet
tonight,
so
I
will
make
that
live
for
us.
A
D
B
Right
so
please
respond.
Do
you
have
other
ideas
for
strategies
to
break
up
the
masking
of
larger
buildings
or
other
suggestions
related
to
building
messing?
And
in
this
part
you
can
enter
in
multiple
short
answers?
You
don't
have
to
cram
it
all
into
one
response
that
kind
of
splits
things
up
nicely
when
we
review
and
we're
going
to
give
some
time
for
you
to
generate
your
ideas
and
then
take
some
time
to
look
over
what
each
other
have
entered.
B
B
See
don't
add
a
bunch
of
requirements
that
will
reduce
potential
housing,
production
and
good
environmental
design
so
being
thoughtful.
There
right
spend
a
little
more
time
gathering
these,
and
we
will
then
take
some
time
to
scroll
down
and
see
each
other's
entries
and
folks
have
already
started
to
use
the
upvote
function.
B
So
that
was
what
we
were
going
to
do
next
to
kind
of
do
some
live,
ranking
or
polling.
Finding
alignment
in
the
group
tonight
around
what
feels
most
important
to
you
to
lift
up
for
the
city
of
arcata
to
consider
so
once
you're
done
entering
your
ideas,
go
ahead
and
scroll
through
you
can
click
that
little
thumbs
up
button
or
icon
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
ideas
that
you're
feeling
aligned
with.
B
B
B
And
things
are
kind
of
shifting
around
as
folks
continue
to
upvote,
and
you
can
just
take
a
look
through
these
yourself
as
well
scanning
what
other
alignments
are
showing
up:
greenery
and
art
paths,
community,
gardens,
flowering
arrangements
and
trees,
so
we're
getting
some
good
ideas,
and
some
of
these
are
can
be
combined
or
are
similar.
So
you
can
even
see
even
more
more
of
the
alignments
when
you
look
at
it
that
way
as
well.
B
E
Essentially,
it's
it's
a
zoning
tool
where
development
project
applicant
receives
something
of
value
in
exchange
for
project
features
and
amenities
that
benefit
the
general
public.
So
those
things
of
value
are
often
called
incentives
and
those
things
that
benefit
the
general
public
are
usually
called
benefits.
E
So
if,
for
example,
a
community
already
has
a
10
inclusionary
housing
requirement,
providing
that
10
percent
wouldn't
be
considered
a
benefit,
what
would
be
considered
a
benefit
would
be
say,
15
or
20,
or
some
other
amount
above
and
beyond,
whatever
the
minimum
baseline
requirement
is
and
also
there's
a
relationship
here
between
state
density
bonus
law.
So,
as
many
of
you
may
know,
a
an
applicant
can
propose
a
certain
number
of
affordable
below
market
rate
units
within
a
project
and
request
incentives
or
concessions
that
are
necessary
in
order
for
that
project
to
be
financially
feasible.
E
E
Now,
if
a
project
chooses
to
participate
in
the
community
benefits
program,
it
would
be
subject
to
a
tiered
system
and
with
the
system,
the
greater
the
value
of
the
benefit,
the
greater
the
allowed
height
a
project
contributing
at
the
tier
one
level.
The
lowest
level
would
be
eligible
for
a
height
of
five
stories,
and
this
is
something
that
would
be
eligible
in
the
entire
gateway
area.
E
Now,
a
project
contributing
at
the
tier
four
level,
the
highest
level
would
be
eligible
for
a
height
of
eight
stories
and
to
be
eligible
for
those
eight
stories.
A
project
would
need
to
provide
the
maximum
community
benefit,
providing
the
maximum
value
to
the
community
and
now
the
way
the
gateway
plan
sets
us
up.
Tier
4
would
only
be
available
in
the
barrel
district,
so
only
in
the
barrel
could
a
project
potentially
achieve
eight
stories
with
maximum
community
benefits.
E
We
also
might
mean
a
mix
of
housing
types
and
affordable
rental
and
ownership
opportunities
now
open
space
as
a
community
benefit.
We
mean
land
that
is
dedicated
for
publicly
accessible
parks,
parklets
plazas,
as
well
as
trails
and
creek
daylight
tribal
housing
means
housing.
That's
developed
in
partnership
with
local
tribes
artist,
housing
means
housing
developed
in
partnership
with
artists,
housing
developers,
public
art
and
streetscape
enhancement
means
publicly
art
in
a
visible
public
location.
E
I
could
also
mean
landscaping
of
street
streets
and
buffers
beyond
minimum
requirements.
Furniture
in
public
spaces
and
other
similar
improvements
to
the
public
realm
funds
for
parks
and
trails
means
a
financial
contribution
for
parkland
and
trail
improvements
that
may
not
necessarily
be
used
on
the
specific
development
site,
but
would
benefit
the
gateway
area
in
the
larger
community.
E
B
Thanks
ben
all,
right
so
has
been
mentioned.
The
city
has
gathered
feedback,
mercator
residents,
and
this
was
also
information
compiled
from
even
further
back
than
a
few
months.
We've
got
data
from
the
2019
housing
workshops,
gateway
area
plan
will
come
to
you
sessions
and
otherwise
submitted
public
comment
and
committee
review
engagements.
So
these
were
identified
based
on
the
review
of
feedback
and
also
with
consideration
for
what
is
most
feasible
from
an
implementation
perspective.
B
D
B
B
B
Okay,
so
please
stay
in
slido
and
I'll
give
this
one
more
a
little
bit
longer
for
folks,
if
you're
still
making
your
way
over
there
to
rank
the
next
question
that
we're
going
to
ask
is
what
else
you
think
should
be
considered
a
top
priority
community
benefit.
So
if
anything,
you
you
think
is
missing
from
the
list
that
was
shared.
The
city
wants
to
hear
that
so
please
share
and
then
we're
gonna
again
up,
vote
and
review
together,
like
we
did
in
our
last
more.
B
And
as
we
look
through
it's
possible
that
some
of
the
ideas
that
folks
submit
may
actually
fall
within
some
of
those
community
benefit
areas,
and
that's
fine,
that's
great!
So
we
see
public
housing
projects
clean
resilient
energy
systems
to
support
the
community,
pocket
parks
and
plazas
again,
home
ownership,
ada,
accessible
housing,
senior
housing
are
free,
expanded
public
transit
child
care.
B
Housing
production
is
most
important,
considering
that
adding
costs
just
jumped
off
my
screen.
Let
me
find
that
again,
adding
costs
to
building
construction
through
community
benefits
is
counterproductive
to
goal
of
increased
housing
all
right
so
take
some
time
now,
if
you
are,
if
you
haven't
already
to
scroll
through
what
others
are
saying
and
continue
to
upvote
those
that
you'd
like
to
uplift.
B
We'll
take
a
look
at
we'll
go
down
and
take
a
look
at
those
as
well,
so
public
safety
features
being
able
to
buy
a
home,
solar
electrification
so
again
that
that
falls
under
like
green
building,
for
example,
which
was
listed
in
the
priority
benefits
we
ranked
earlier
retail
commercial
on
bottom
floor,
so
access
pet
friendly
funds
for
art.
Next
10-year
housing.
E
So
we
wanted
to
frame
the
discussion
of
allowed
building
height
with
that
context
of
massing
strategies
and
community
benefits.
Before
talking
to
you
about
this
important
issue,
so
I'm
going
to
go
over
existing
allowed
heights
within
the
gateway
area
and
then
talk
about
allowed
heights,
as
established
in
the
gateway
area
plan.
Before
asking
for
some
of
your
thoughts
on
this
subject,
so
here
is
a
diagram
that
is
showing
the
plan
area
and
the
different
colors
represent.
E
There's
a
portion
of
the
site,
that's
dark
purple,
that's
heavy
industrial
and
a
heavy
industrial
property.
The
city
can
allow
for
a
height,
that's
more
than
45
feet
through
a
used
permit
process
in
order
to
accommodate
an
even
taller
building,
there's
a
portion
of
the
gateway
area.
That's
currently
zoned
commercial
that
allows
for
35
feet,
35
feet:
you
can
fit
a
a
three-story
building
and
there
are
some
other
little
pockets
that
are
38
feet
maximum
height,
but
the
majority
of
the
plan
area.
E
Currently
the
maximum
allowed
height,
is
45
feet
which
can
comfortably
accommodate
a
40,
a
four-story
building,
and
so,
as
I've
already
alluded
to
previously
in
tonight's
meeting,
the
the
draft
gateway
plan
allows
for
height
beyond
the
existing
height
allowance.
If
a
project
provides
community
benefits
and
conforms
with
design
standards
and
as
described
before
the
greater
the
value
of
the
benefit
provide
it
through,
the
community
benefit
program,
the
greater
the
allowed
heights-
and
there
also
would
be
limits
on
the
tallest
buildings.
E
Nobody
is
envisioning
the
entirety
of
the
gateway
area
being
developed
with
seven
eight
story
buildings.
There
would
be
limitations
on
the
location
of
the
tallest
buildings,
as
well
as
potentially
the
number
of
the
tallest
buildings
that
are
allowed
within
sub-areas
or
within
the
plain
area
overall
and
lastly,
projects
that
include
height
above
the
existing
limit,
as
well
as
all
projects
must
conform
with
whatever
massing
standards,
ultimately
get
incorporated
into
the
form
based
code.
E
E
B
All
right,
thank
you
so
much
to
all
who
are
sticking
with
us
through
this,
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
back
and
forth.
So
I
appreciate
your
flexibility
in
working
with
us
to
put
back
and
forth
the
presentation
and
polling.
So
like
ben
said
this
is
our
our
home
stretch
for
polling
I'll
share
my
screen
here
again.

So
I
really
appreciate
that
and
we
all
really
appreciate
everyone
sharing
their
feedback.
So
I'm
just
going
to
take
a
quick
moment
here
and
run
through
next
steps.
How
do
you
stay
engaged
and
involved
in
this
process
if
you
just
had
so
much
fun
tonight
that
you
want
to
keep
going
so
one
important
thing
that's
coming.
Next
is
the
study
session
that
I
mentioned
between
the
planning,
commission
and
the
city
council
that
will
be
a
week
from
today
this
time.
A
Next
week
they
will
be
meeting
and
one
of
the
main
topics
they
will
be
covering
is
building
height
and
this
community
benefits
program.
They
also
will
be
talking
about
some
of
the
circulation
options
that
are
laid
out
in
the
draft
plan.
So
if
you
have
additional
thoughts
or
want
to,
you
know,
make
sure
other
people
weigh
in
on
this
before
next
week.
A
Please
ask
them
to
reach
out
and
provide
their
comments
in
advance.
The
public
comment
at
this
meeting
will
be
pretty
limited
because
we're
hoping
to
really
retain
that
time
for
the
decision
makers
to
really
dig
into
the
details
and
hash
out
our
direction
and
through
the
rest
of
this
year,
we
will
be
making
the
provisions
to
this
document
that
I
mentioned
earlier,
and
we
also
are
working
on
updating
other
elements
of
our
general
plan.
Concurrently,
you
can
find
a
schedule
of
when
those
elements
are
going
to
various
related
committees
or
the
planning
commission.
A
On
that
engagement
page
that
I
shared
at
the
beginning,
we
also
will
be
providing
a
post-meeting
survey
and
feedback
form.
It's
very
basic.
If
there
are
questions
or
comments,
if
this
generated
additional
ideas
for
you,
you
can
fill
that
out
and
also
gives
you
an
opportunity
to
sign
up
for
our
e-notifications.
A
A
So
this
is
the
link
and
the
qr
code
directly
to
the
feedback
form
again,
it's
very
simple
and
basic,
and
the
intent
is
to
allow
participants
to
add
the
additional
feedback
and
to
be
clear.
This
is
separate
from
the
survey
which
will
be
made
available
for
folks
who
didn't
get
a
chance
to
attend
tonight
and
once
the
recording
of
this
meeting
is
available
on
the
youtube
page,
we'll
be
sending
that
out
with
the
survey.
So
people
can
review
both
of
those
and
have
the
information
we
provided
to
you
all
tonight
so
stay
in
touch.
A
We
have
our
department
contact
information,
our
department,
email
here
as
well
as
well
as
how
to
sign
up
for
e-notifications
and
also
our
infill
plan,
page,
which
I
already
had
shared
with
you.
So
thank
you
again
all
for
coming
tonight.
I
think
I'll
leave
this
up
for
just
another
minute
and
then
we
will
be
calling
it
for
the
evening.
We
will
hopefully
hear
from
you
before
next
weekend
week's
presentation,
and
I
hope
you
all
have
a
wonderful
night.
Thank
you.
So
much.
