Description
Planning Commission Meeting
A
Good
evening
and
welcome
to
the
june
3rd
2021
meeting
of
the
bloomington
planning
commission,
the
planning
commission
is
made
up
of
seven
volunteer
bloomington
residents
appointed
by
the
city
council.
The
commission
is
advisory
to
the
council
for
most
items.
The
commission
makes
recommendations
and
the
council
has
final
decision-making
authority.
In
certain
cases,
the
planning
commission
can
approve
or
deny
an
application
subject
to
appeal
to
the
city
council.
A
We
have
one
item
on
the
agenda
tonight
that
will
be
subject
to
final
consideration
by
the
council
for
each
item.
We
will
have
a
staff
report,
an
opportunity
for
the
applicant
to
present
time
for
any
member
of
the
public
to
provide
testimony.
Our
first
order
of
business
tonight
is
the
pledge
of
allegiance.
Please
stand
as
you
are
able.
A
B
A
B
B
A
D
Thank
you,
chair,
roman
I'll
share,
my
screen.
I
have
a
few
powerpoint
slides
to
share.
You
guys,
hear
me:
okay,
yes,
great!
Thank
you
evening,
chair,
roman
and
planning
commissioners
before
you
this
evening
is
a
privately
initiated
city
code
amendment.
These
don't
come
up
all
too
frequently,
but
tonight
before
I
use
a
request
to
amend
the
city
code,
specifically
chapters
19
and
21,
which
are
the
zoning
chapters
in
the
bloomington
code.
D
The
basic
description
of
the
request
is
to
create
a
new
use
in
our
zoning
code,
called
cultural
campus
and
we'll
get
into
the
definition
of
that
and
specifically
relating
to
the
fd2
zoning
district.
The
applicant
is
freak
hospitality
group
llc.
They
are
represented
by
mr
jake
steen
of
larkin
hoffman
who's
on
the
call
as
well.
If
you
have
questions
for
the
applicant's
representative
so
just
to
get
into
the
overview
again,
this
is
the
city
code
amendment.
D
As
I
said,
this
ordinance
would
create
and
define
a
new
use,
cultural
campus,
in
addition
to
that,
it
would
designate
this
new
use
as
a
conditional
use
in
the
ft2fd2
zoning
district.
So
certainly
the
bloomington
zoning
code
has
a
multitude
of
different
zoning
districts-
residential
commercial
industrial,
mixed
use
districts.
D
D
The
applicant
desires
to
establish
this
use
for
a
specific
purpose,
and
that
purpose
ultimately
would
be
to
establish
a
cultural
campus
in
bloomington
and
in
their
project
description.
They
shared
that
they
are
looking
at
establishing
this
use
at
1701
american
boulevard
east.
Should
the
ordinance
be
approved.
D
D
Should
the
the
ordinance
amendment
not
be
approved
so
getting
into
the
definition,
and
I'm
going
to
show
you
the
next
slide,
I'm
going
to
get
into
some
minor
revisions
to
the
definition
as
staff's
been
working
on
today
and
I'll
provide
an
update
in
that
regard,
but
the
the
cultural
campus
definition
of
establishing
this
new
use.
I'm
just
going
to
read
this
out.
D
And
so
I
should
have
provided
a
little
bit
more
background
about
the
applicant
in
terms
of
the
type
of
facility
or
campus
that
the
applicant
is
seeking
to
establish.
But
it's
really
intended
to
be
a
business
incubator
and
entrepreneurship
center
for
for
east
african
community
in
along
american
boulevard,
theirs
in
the
south
metro
and
in
tur.
In
addition
to
these,
as
you
can
tell,
there's
very
much
a
focus
on
the
business
and
entrepreneurship
type
uses,
but
there's
also
this
mix
of
uses
which
allow
ancillary
or
supportive
uses
mixed
within
one
campus.
D
So
that's
really
the
the
key
feature
of
this
cultural,
cultural
campus
is
that
it
certainly
has
a
business
focus,
but
it's
providing
many
of
these
ancillary
supportive
services
and
uses
that
you
would
find
kind
of
adjacent
to
or
next
to
other
business
and
industrial
type
uses
so
getting
into
the
next
phase
of
this.
What
I
just
mentioned
before-
and
you
know,
staff
sincerely
apologies
on
in
terms
of
the
late
nature
of
this,
but
something
that
came
to
our
attention
actually
earlier
today.
D
That
staff
was
having
with
the
definition
and
so
more
specifically,
whereas
prior
to
these
redline
revisions,
what
it
stated
is
that
no
use
can
occupy
more
than
50
percent
of
floor
area
on
a
single
site.
What
we're
recommending
is
that
be
amended
or
revised
to
state
that
no
more
than
50
percent
of
the
florida
within
the
cultural
campus
itself,
so
that
provides
greater
clarification
as
to
the
majority
or
kind
of
the
what
the
mix
expectations
are
of
the
different
uses
if
it
was
only
50
percent
of
flurry
on
a
full
site.
D
D
So
hopefully
that
makes
sense
again.
I
apologize
for
the
late
lateness
of
the
the
revision,
but
in
terms
of
just
improving
the
the
interpretation,
making
it
less
less
room
for
interpretation
is
always
a
good
thing
with
these
definitions,
so
one
change
there
and
then
finally
was
just
a
clarification.
The
the
bottom
red
line
aspect
of
the
definition
is
a
clarification
on
the
part
of
staff
and
the
applicant
in
terms
of
that.
A
cultural
campus
could
technically
be
comprised
of
multiple
buildings
and
it
could
be
on
adjoining
properties
if
they
are
a
budding.
D
D
So
one
of
the
things
we
do
when
we
evaluate
a
new,
a
privately
initiated
city
code
amendment,
what
we're
looking
at
establishing
a
new
use
in
a
particular
zoning
district.
What
we
evaluate
that
use
against
is
what
is
the
intent
of
the
fd2
zoning
district,
and
so
I
suppose
I
can
read
this
as
well.
It's
a
does
designed
to
provide
for
a
limited
mixture
of
compatible
land
uses,
encourage
and
accommodate
industry
and
freeway
locations.
D
Convenient
to
the
metro
area
provide
integrated
roadside
business
areas
designed
to
offer
a
group
of
essential
services
to
the
motoring
public
and
convenient
locations
and
to
accommodate
certain
uses,
large,
an
area
with
a
metropolitan
clientele
and
so
far
as
may
be
possible
to
protect
the
freeway
from
congestion
by
proper
location
of
heavy
traffic,
generator
generators
and
exclusion
of
most
retail
businesses.
So
that's
the
intent
statement,
nuts
and
bolts
the
fd2
zoning
district
is
probably
the
most
eclectic
and
kind
of
widest
mix
of
uses.
D
If
you
will,
except
for
maybe
some
of
our
mixed
use
districts,
it
is
a
zoning
district
that
dates
back
to
the
1960s.
So
it's
one
of
our
few
kind
of
remnant
zoning
districts
that
was
originally
established
in
chapter
19.,
there's
48
parcels
in
bloomington,
currently
zoned
fd2,
and
they
are
located
primarily
in
between
nicolette
avenue
and
old
cedar
avenue
south
along
american
boulevard.
You
see
there
is
that
one
parcel
along
lindale
that
one's
kind
of
off
on
its
own
over
there
and
on
the
on
lindale
avenue,
but
still
again
also
on
american
boulevard.
D
D
In
addition
to
that,
all
of
these
sites
are
located
on
an
arterial
roadway
with
american
boulevard
being
a
minor
arterial,
there's
one
or
two
other
minor
sites
that
are
not
on
american
and
those
are
on
collector
roadways
as
well.
So
these
are
high
volume,
roadways,
they're,
high
traffic
they're,
designed
to
serve
high
levels
of
traffic
and
yeah.
D
So
that's
the
key
feature
of
the
fd2
and
then
we'll
talk
about
the
uses
but,
as
I
said,
it's
kind
of
an
eclectic
zoning
district
when
it
comes
to
the
different
uses
that
are
allowed
there
so
on
some
level
prior
to
pursuing
this
city
code,
amendment
of
the
cultural
campus
on
the
part
of
the
applicant.
Certainly
there
were
discussions
about
okay.
Well,
what
what
aspects
of
the
you
know
prior
to
the
inception
or
conception
of
cultural
campus?
D
D
D
So
really
what
we're
talking
about
in
terms
of
the
the
uses
that
are
not
allowed
currently
in
ft2
we're
talking
about
place
of
assembly
event,
center,
indoor,
rack
and
entertainment,
library
and
museum.
The
rest
of
these
uses
on
some
level
are
currently
allowed
in
the
fd2
zoning
district,
and
the
other
thing
I'll
say
is
that
when
staff
analyze
this
list
of
uses
what
we
the
way
that
made
sense
to
us
of
how
we
broke
them
down,
is
that
there's
really
the
if
this
is
to
be
a
business
hub?
D
As
you
know
as
clear
in
the
intent
and
the
applicant's
request,
what
we
see
is
the
is
that
there's
two
clear
groupings
of
uses
in
this
category
of
cultural
campus.
There's
the
the
business
entrepreneurship
grouping
of
uses
where
people
can
be
assisted
with
office
and
other
ancillary
services
and
there's
space
to
do
maker,
space
and
entrepreneurship
and
other
things
like
that
and
very
you
know,
limited
retail
associated
with
that.
D
So
it's
very
much
that
that
business
grouping
of
uses
and
then
there's
the
support
services
where
it's
truly
just
kind
of
a
mix
use
campus
of
okay.
Well,
we
have
a
campus
of
folks
working
on
these
business
and
entrepreneurship
activities.
Let's
bring
these
other
supportive
services
all
in
the
same
location,
and
so
you
know
those
supportive
type
services
include
the
place
of
assembly,
the
event
center,
indoor,
rec
and
entertainment
library
and
the
museum,
and
certainly
the
university
which
is
already
conditionally
used
in
fd2,
would
fall
in
that
category
as
well.
D
So
that's
how
we
thought
about
them
and
in
terms
of
what
you
know,
the
key
feature
of
the
definition
of
a
cultural
campus
really
is
important.
Is
this
mixing
of
uses,
whereas
staff
doesn't
think
necessarily
that
a
place
of
assembly?
Given
you
know
the
industrial
nature,
the
potential
for
truck
traffic
and
other
things
in
the
fd2
district?
It
doesn't
make
sense
to
have
a
standalone
place
of
assembly
from
staff's
perspective.
You
know
that's
been
discussed
by
planning
commissioning
council
on
different
levels
of
whether
you
know
their
industrial
sites
make
good
uses.
D
For
that,
and
it's
been,
you
know,
the
consensus
has
been.
Is
that
as
a
stand-alone
use?
It
doesn't
make
sense,
however,
when
integrated
as
a
small
feature
of
a
broader
campus
that
has
greater
control
of
what
the
surrounding
uses
are
that
that
it
can
be
managed
accordingly,
and
so
you
think,
about
these
ancillary
uses
and
how
they
mix
on
a
limited
basis
with
you
know
the
more
business
oriented
uses
and
it's
something
that
can
work.
It
just
takes
further
study
and
evaluation
depending
on
the
mix
of
uses
on
the
site,
and
that
gets
me
to.
D
I
think
my
last
slide
is
that
designating
this
use
as
a
conditional
use
as
opposed
to
a
permitted
use,
is
the
the
the
most
sensical
or
the
best
pathway
forward,
because
for
uses
that
are
highly
sensitive
in
terms
of
you
know
that
they
are
more
appropriate
at
one
location,
but
maybe
not
appropriate
at
another
location
and
there's
many
different
things.
We
can
think
about,
we
can
think
about
access.
We
can
think
about.
You
know
circulation
on
site.
We
can
think
about
what
is
the
parking
supply
of
a
particular
property?
D
We
can
think
about
ease
of
access
to
the
freeway
or
other
transportation
elements,
and
then
not
only
not
only
does
a
conditional
use
permit
also
evaluate
those
locational
elements,
but
it
also
evaluates
sites
on
a
basis
of
ensuring
that
they
are
also
code
compliant
from
all
the
other
perspectives
that
the
city
code
touches
on
from
landscaping
to
lighting
to
sidewalks.
All
of
these
site-specific
performance
standards
have
to
come
into
compliance
with
the
city
code.
When
you're
talking
about
a
conditional
use.
D
In
fact,
some
of
the
uses
within
the
definition
itself
is
are
already
conditional
uses
in
the
fd2
zoning
district,
so
it
wouldn't
make
sense
to
make
a
cultural
campus
of
permitted
use,
while
some
of
the
underlying
uses
already
are
conditional
uses,
and
in
addition
to
that,
the
final
thing
I'll
touch
on
is
that
as
you're
aware,
some
of
the
uses
in
city
code
that
require
cups
can
be
approved
by
the
planning
commission.
The
planning
commission
has
the
authority
to
approve
a
wide
variety
of
conditional
uses
in
bloomington
subject
to
appeal.
D
It
just
makes
sense
that
this
use
also
be
given
that
same
consideration
of
requiring
city
council
approval,
so
the
the
cup
process.
In
summary,
you
know
on
this
slide
is
really
the
best
vessel
to
evaluate
not
only
the
location
that
they're
proposing,
but
also
the
specific
mixing
of
uses.
You
know,
with
a
condition:
each
permit
you're
going
to
have
a
floor
plan
to
evaluate
they're
going
to
have
to
provide
a
lot
of
operational
information
in
terms
of
when
each
uses
are
in
operation.
How
many
employees
do
they
have?
D
What
type
of
traffic
do
they
anticipate
and
then
we
can
evaluate
the
parking
requirements
of
each
individual
use
and-
and
you
know
the
and
how
that
maybe
interacts
from
a
shared
parking
perspective
as
well.
So
the
cup
process
is
the
best
way
to
go
with
respect
to
that,
and
the
applicant
is
certainly
supportive
of
that.
D
So
staff
does
recommend
approval
of
this
privately
initiated
city
code.
Amendment
again
with
the
revisions
that
I
noted
in
the
definition,
I
hope
that
didn't
throw
folks
off
at
all.
Again,
I
apologize
for
the
late
hour
on
that,
but
it
was
just
something
that
came
to
our
attention
that
we
wanted
clarified
so
just
that
there
was
not
any
misinterpretation
either
on
the
part
of
the
city
or
the
applicant
in
terms
of
the
expectations.
So
that's
a
recommended
motion
and
I'm
happy
to
take
questions
as
well.
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Mr
johnson,
you
said
the
focus
of
a
of
the
upcoming
application
is
going
to
be
a
business
incubator
and
that's
sort
of
the
the
core
of
this
for
a
different
application
that
wanted
to
be
under
a
cultural
campus.
Must
they
have
a
business
component
or
could
it
be
a
hotel
museum,
restaurant.
D
Yeah,
chairman,
roman
christian
crookston,
that's
a
good
question.
The
way
it's
currently
constructed
they
could
pursue
a
campus
without
the
business
uses.
I
think
that's
a
completely
correct
and
fair
analysis
that
would
run
contrary
to
all
of
the
staff's
prior
conversations
with
the
applicant
in
terms
of
the
type
of
facility
that
they're
seeking
to
establish.
D
C
D
E
Thank
you
chair,
mr
johnson,
can
you
go
back
to
the
slide
that
you
had
on
the
revised
definition,
the
new
definition
yeah,
so
for
the
last
sentence,
a
cultural
campus
may
use
across
property
lines,
so
my
concern
might
be
whether
it's
this
site
or
a
different
site.
They
have.
You
know
crossover
form
to
two
different,
two
different
properties
over
property
line
for
the
for
the
campus
to
be
large
enough
and
then
in
the
future,
one
of
the
property
owners
or
the
one.
E
The
question
is:
if
the
project
is
over
a
proper
line,
does
it
have
to
be
under
the
same
ownership
and
two?
If
it
is
not,
then
how
do
you
ensure
that
if
two
of
the
uses
of
the
three
required
is
not
lost
when
say
the
other
property
is
sold
because
it's
owned
by
somebody
else?
I
guess
my
concern
is:
if
it
crosses
over
a
property
line,
then
it
is
subject
to
either
the
other
property
owner
just
walking
away
and
then
the
conditional
uses
that
is
no
longer
valid.
Then
how
do
you
protect
that?
E
D
D
It's
not
a
fundamental
use
issue
but
say
that
at
one
point
there
was
parties
who
are
agreeable
upon
shared
parking
agreements
or
shared
access
agreements,
and
then
later
on
down
the
line,
you
know
ownership
changes
or
there's
a
different
understanding
as
to
what
should
happen
with
that,
so
these
disputes
or
those
things
do
happen
between
properties
of
different
different
owners.
That's
definitely
fundamental.
D
What
I
would
say
to
that
is
that,
yes,
it
could
happen
with
owner.
Your
first
question
was:
could
it
happen
with
properties
of
different
owners?
It
can
it
certainly
can
they
just
have
to
be
party
to
the
application
so
that
owner
as
being
part
of
that
conditional
use
permit
and
signing
off
to
with
that,
it
would
be
my
position
that
they
would
be
making
a
commitment,
obviously
to
the
establishment
of
that
use.
D
So
if
that
were
to
be
the
case,
they
would
have
an
off-ramp
or
the
ability
to
make
an
application
for
a
revised
conditional
use
permit
and
at
that
time,
what
I
would
recommend
the
apple
can
do
is
to
re-establish
three
uses
within
the
spaces
that
they
they
do
have.
So
they
would
certainly
have
that
opportunity
to
apply
for
an
amendment
to
their
conditional
use.
Permit
should
something
along
those
lines
ever
occur,
but
just
to
note
that
this
is
something
you
know
put
forth
by
the
applicant.
D
E
Thank
you
for
the
clarification
to
staff,
so
just
for
my
clarification
to
the
viewers
at
home.
If
we
do
the
the
applicant's
application
listed
more
than
three
potential
uses,
I
think,
if
I
remember
correctly-
and
the
ordinance
definition
says
up
to
three
would
be
meet
the
definition
of
three
uses.
Then
you
qualify
as
a
cultural
campus
if
they,
if
the
owner
establishes
three
uses
now
two
years
from
now,
wants
to
change
one
of
the
uses.
D
Yeah,
I
thank
you
for
that
question
again,
commissioner
abdi.
My
interpretation
of
that
is
that
they
would
have
to
come
back
and
revise
their
amend.
Their
conditional
use
permit
and
the
reason
being
is
that
different
uses
have
different
parking
requirements,
different
operational
considerations
and
then
you're
kind
of
evaluating
a
new
mix
of
uses.
So
my
interpretation
of
that
say,
you're
swapping
or
even
say,
you're
adding
new
uses
to
a
to
a
cultural
campus.
It
would
be
my
interpretation
they
would
have
to
amend
their
come
back
for
an
amendment
to
their
conditional
use.
Permit.
D
Yeah
thanks
for
that
question,
chairman
roman.
In
most
cases,
we
have
this
process
in
the
city
code
called
special
events.
Special
event
permit,
and
the
mall
of
america,
of
course,
has
had
many
special
events.
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
limitation
on
the
number
of
special
events
that
a
particular
party
can
apply
for
in
a
given
calendar
year.
I'm
sure
that
there
is,
but
actually
licensing,
division
handles
those
requests,
planning
and
other
divisions
certainly
review
some
of
those
requests,
as
they
pertain
to
parking
and
other
things
that
can
be
associated
with
special
events.
D
But
what
we're
talking
about
here,
when
you
know
with
respect
to
a
conditional
use,
permit
that's
not
a
one-off
or
a
four-time
a
year
type
activity
when
you're
seeking
you
know
a
conditional
use
permit
or
other
zoning
approvals.
You're
seeking
for
a
land
entitlement
that
runs
with
the
land
can
be
done
at
any
given.
Time
does
not
require
a
special
event
review
or
approval
from
the
city.
So
it's
really
an
approval
that
runs
with
the
land
that,
although
you
know,
becomes
the
the
permanent
fixture
use.
It's
not
a
temporary
or
a
one-off.
A
A
D
A
Okay
thanks
and
then
my
other
question
is
I
I
was
reading
through
the
language.
I
don't
think
I
saw
anything
in
the
language
this
effect,
but
there's
nothing
that
would
require.
I
know
we
talked
about
that.
No
one
use
may
exceed
50,
there's
nothing
in
the
language.
I
don't
believe
that
says
the
50
of
the
use
must
be
an
otherwise
permitted
or
conditional
use,
for
example,
if
the
intent
is
to
have
compatible
uses.
At
least
50
percent
of
the
space
must
be
one
of
these
things
on
this
list.
D
A
And
I
guess
I
asked
that
question,
not
necessarily
I'm
looking
for
your
specific
answer
on
what
is
or
isn't
the
right
direction
to
go.
But,
following
up
on
commissioner
cookton's
question
about
you
know-
and
you
mentioned
intended-
use
that
you've
heard
from
the
applicant
so
far
versus
potential.
What
could
come
forward?
So
I
just
it's
just
a
point
of
clarification
for
me.
A
F
Should
we
meet
her
now
great
yeah,
jake
steen,
with
larkin
hoffman
anderson,
8300,
norman
center
drive,
and
I
represent
the
applicant
of
free
hospitality
group.
I
want
to
say
I'll,
keep
I'll
keep
my
comments
brief,
since
staff
has
done
a
good
job
of
summarizing.
I
do
want
to
say
thank
you
to
staff
for
all
of
your
cooperation
and
collaboration
on
this
project
and
this
tax
amendment.
F
So
we
have
worked
very
closely
with
staff
on
this
language,
including
the
language
that
is
proposed
tonight,
the
revised
language.
So
we
are
comfortable
with
those
changes
and
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions
we
do
ask
for
support.
I've
also
got
mukhtar
sharif
and
mahad
ibrahim
from
the
freak
hospitality
group
on
the
line
and
they
are
available
to
answer
questions
as
well.
A
Okay,
thank
you
not
seeing
any
hands.
This
is
a
public
hearing,
so
we
will
have
an
opportunity
for
the
public
to
provide
testimony
I'll,
remind
members
of
the
public
that
we
do
take,
allow
three
minutes
for
individual
testimony
and
should
your
time
expire.
I
will
let
you
know,
mr
marker
guard.
Do
we
have
any
members
of
the
public.
B
G
A
G
Thanks,
mr
chair,
I
think
overall,
I'm
in
support
of
this
application.
It's
somewhat
difficult
for
me
to
really
understand
what
this
will
look
like
as
a
final.
You
know
final
plan
and
solution,
but
overall,
I
think
it's
a
good.
You
know
use
of
bringing
in
new
business
and
new
people
to
bloomington,
as
well
as
adding
some
interesting.
You
know
local
businesses
and
entrepreneurs.
G
I
also
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
benefit
to
the
diversity
and
inclusion
of
having
a
cultural
center
like
this
in
bloomington.
So
overall
I
think
it's
it's
a
good
project,
I'm
interested
to
see
the
final
application
just
to
see
how
logistically
it
will
work,
and
I
I
I
really
do
appreciate
staff's
recommendation
of
saying
that
it's
a
conditional
use
because
of
all
of
the
variables
that
will
be
going
into
a
unique
location
like
this
and
making
sure
that
the
right
site
is
selected
for
a
type
of
project
and
location.
E
I
thank
you
chair.
I
actually
lived
like
a
few
blocks
from
this
place
and
I
looked
up
the
the
applicant
and
I'm
really
in
support
of
the
idea.
That's
coming
to
this
area.
American
boulevard
is
a
very
prominent
location.
So,
overall,
I
am
in
support
of
the
proposed
language
ordinance
and
the
vision
that
it's
trying
to
accomplish
and
the
different
uses
that
we
will
be
able
to
see.
E
I'm
still
a
little
bit,
not
necessarily
hesitant,
but
just
some
concerns
in
the
future,
about
the
last
sentence
for
me
about
the
campus
being
over
property
lines
and
what
that
would
do.
I
understand
the
example
that
staff
shared
about
shared
parking
uses,
but
that's
parking.
You
know
the
applicant.
If
restaurant
is
required
to
provide
parking,
they're
short
parking,
they
can
lease
it
from
somebody
else
or
share
it
with
somebody
else's
lot.
E
If
that
person
the
neighbor
no
longer
wants
to
share
it,
the
applicant
can
go
somewhere
else
to
get
parking,
so
it's
not
necessarily
the
business
would
die.
But
in
this
case,
if
the
property
lines,
if
there
is
a
proper
line
dispute,
my
concern
would
be
that
the
the
concept
or
the
idea
would
fail
and
it
would
start
the
project
all
over.
So
just
the
the
last
part
is
for
me
is
a
little
bit
uncertain,
but
overall,
I'm
in
support
of
the
vision
and
the
fact
that
the
city
is
open
to
this
idea.
A
A
B
B
A
F
F
At
this
point,
the
intent
the
applicant
does
own
1701
and
is
in
negotiations
to
acquire
1801
and
the
reason
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
added
this
language
is
because
these
two
sites,
even
though
they
are
separate
parcels,
they
were
developed
contiguously,
they
do
have
shared
parking.
You
would
look
at
the
site
both
from
an
aerial
photo
and
from
on-site,
as
is
being
effectively
one
one.
Business
campus
and
the
intent
is
ultimately
to
develop
the
portions
of
both
buildings
into
this
cultural
campus.
F
C
Thanks,
mr
chair
overall,
I
think
this
is
a
good
application.
My
one
concern
was
that
we
could
end
up
with
a
not
necessarily
this
application.
You
know
this
upcoming
related
application,
but
a
different
future
application
that
would
be
applying
for
three
uses
that
would
three
or
more
uses
that
would
otherwise
not
be
allowed
in
the
fd2
zoning
district.
But
I
believe
I
can
take
comfort
in
that,
because
this
is
a
conditional.
D
D
In
addition
to
that,
and
I
think
in
the
case
of
mixing
of
some
uses,
as
opposed
to
the
kind
of
description
of
a
cultural
campus
that
you've
seen
in
this
application,
I
think
it
would
be
hard
to
meet
the
code
with
respect
to
parking
and
other
elements
of
the
code
if
it
was
kind
of
more
intensive
assembly
and
larger
event
type
uses,
as
opposed
to
the
the
kind
of
mix
or
different
hours
of
operation.
So
that's
my
point
there.
Thank
you.
D
Yeah,
chairman
roman
commissioner
cookton,
I'm
not
the
city
attorney's
office,
so
certainly
I
would
you
would
seek
their
guidance
on
that.
But
I'll
reiterate
that
if
the
planning
commission
and
city
council
find
that
the
proposed
development
does
not
provide
adequately
protect
the
public
health
safety
and
welfare
for
legitimate
reasons
based
on
evidentiary
fact,
then
then,
yes,
you
would
be
well
suited
or
well
placed
to
deny
that
application.
A
B
A
All
right
yeah,
I
guess
I
would
say
that
for
me,
I
also
generally
am
supportive
of
this.
I
still
again
building
on
the
things
that
commissioner
cookton
said
earlier
and
just
now
I
I
do
wish
there
was
a
component
that
required,
at
least
I
don't
know
if
it's
50
or
what
to
be
in
otherwise
permitted
or
conditional
use.
A
I
recognize
that
there's
you
know
the
danger
of
making
up
language
on
the
fly,
but
in
the
interest
of
consistency
I
think
it's
good
to
be
able
to
diversify
these
uses
to
to
promote
some
of
this
as
again
as
our
city
evolves
from
what
was
when
this
was
first
envisioned
and
written
into
code
into
what
we
are
continuing
to
become.
I
think
I'm
I'm
very
supportive
of
this.
This
use-
that's
just
my
only
hang
up
right
now,
but
it's
not
enough
in
the
moment
to
stop
me
from
recommending
this,
commissioner
cookton.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I'm
also
going
to
risk
overstepping
what
we
should
be
doing
here,
but
a
perhaps
something
that
could
satisfy
the
commission
if
they
had
some
cold
feet
about
the
potential
uses
being
here
that
perhaps
50
percent
of
a
cultural
campus
must
be
uses
that
would
be
otherwise
permitted
in
the
fd2
zone.
D
Yeah,
chairman
roman
christopher
cook,
done
my
belief
is
that
I'd
certainly
welcome
that
question
of
the
applicant.
All
of
our
conversations
to
date
with
the
planning
manager
and
the
applicant
have
been
more
conceptual,
so
I
don't
think
we've
seen
a
full
floor
plan
of
this
perspective
use
yet,
and
so
my
guess
is
that
the
applicant
would
be
would
be
cautiously
concerned
about.
You
know
adding
something
along
those
lines.
D
In
addition
to
that,
what
I
would
say
is
that
you
know
a
city
code.
Amendment
does
carry
with
it
a
high
level
of
city
discretion
both
on
the
planning,
commission
and
city
council,
so
you're,
certainly
in
a
well
positioned
to
either
you
know,
recommend
amendments
to
it
or
or
not.
But
what
I
would
say
is
that
in
the
past
you
know
with
these
types
of
efforts,
it's
tried
to
come
forward
collaboratively
with
the
support
of
the
applicant
or,
in
effect
likely
deny
the
application
again.
A
B
A
G
So
I
I
I
think
this
is
a
great
application.
I
think
the
idea
of
a
cultural
campus
is
a
really
bit
of
innovative
and
good
use,
or
some
places
similar
to
I
think,
1701
and
1801,
where
maybe
it's
not
a
great.
There
hasn't
been
a
lot
of
vacancy.
There
has
been
some
vacancies,
so
I
think
it
is
a
good,
a
good
use
and
I'm
I'm
supportive
of
moving
forward,
as
is
as
the
revised
by
staff
and
and
approved
by
staff
and
and
the
applicant,
but
yeah
again.
