Item 39

39 Ordinance - UDC21-0003 - Considering Amending Unified Development Code Section 1.12.5 "Administrative Amendments to Approved Site Plan" to Clarify the Parameters for Amendments and Provide Criteria for Administrative Amendments to Multifamily Concept Plans
Administrative Comments
1. This item has been recommended by the Planning and Community Development Department.
2. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended Approval on March 7, 2022 by a vote of 8-0.
Commissioners in support: Cronenwett, Collins, McPhail, Burns, Spurlock, Joy, Patel, and Prichard
Commissioner absent: Kliner
3. Amendments are proposed in order to provide clarification for the applicant/developer and staff as to what may be allowed as an Administrative Amendment vs. what must be revised through the zoning process.
4. It is common for minor adjustments to be necessary after Site Plan (SP) approval and during detailed design and construction. The current ordinance does not provide quantifiable measures to the customer or staff, opening it to confusion and differences in interpretation. No parameters exist for minor amendments to Multi Family Concept Plan standards other than a change in “character or configuration” which is subjective.
5. The current considerations for all minor amendments include:
• Complies with city ordinances
• Does not change the character or intent
• Does not alter the relationship to adjacent properties
• Does not change uses
• Does not change lighting or signs unless complies with code
• Does not decrease open space or landscaping
• Does not decrease height, fencing, or screening
6. The proposed amendments will:
• Quantify maximum percentages (%) of what can be administratively approved
• Clarify that Multi Family Concept Plans can be minimally revised with similar quantifiable parameters
• Require reprocessing of a case for any changes greater than specified %
• Add specific considerations for effects on traffic, drainage, and utilities
• Create separate considerations for mixed use/form based developments, and
• Allow a small increase of patron seating (10%) for RAB/restaurants with parking
Recommendation
The ordinance be adopted.

Item 40

40 Ordinance - UDC21-0004 - Considering Amending Unified Development Code Section 3.5 "Convenience Store Design Standards" to Update the Definition and Provide for Applicability of the Section to Expansions or Conversions of Buildings
Administrative Comments
1. This item has been recommended by the Planning and Community Development Department.
2. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended Approval on March 7, 2022 by a vote of 8-0.
Commissioners in support: Cronenwett, Collins, McPhail, Burns, Spurlock, Joy, Patel, and Prichard
Commissioner absent: Kliner
3. The amendments are proposed in order to provide clarity in the definition and consistency in the application of the standards to existing buildings.
4. Concerns include: an unclear definition of “convenience stores”, changes to state law no longer allowing the city to enforce building design standards, that properties developed prior to standards are challenged to comply with new requirements, and that different requirements for convenience stores than for other types of retail establishments.
5. The Convenience Store Design Standards were created after a November 2008 election to permit retail package store sales. Subsequent ordinances such as these design standards were adopted to mitigate concerns about potentially harmful or negative effects such as amendments to the distance measurement from a church, school, or hospital and a Convenience Store Crime Prevention ordinance.
6. The definition of a Convenience Store is: Any business that is primarily engaged in the retail sale of convenience goods, or both convenience goods and gasoline, and has less than 10,000 sq. ft. of retail floor space. Convenience goods means basic food, beverage, tobacco products, household and/or pharmaceutical items.
7. The current standards (masonry construction, articulation, etc.) apply to all new convenience stores and to existing buildings proposed to be changed to a convenience store from any other use. Stores being expanded by 30% or more of building area, or being remodeled if remodeling value is at least 25% of current value, must comply with landscaping, screening, parking, loading, building codes and accessibility requirements and remove any pole signs (except along highways) prior to issuance of C.O. The standards also increase the parking requirement for convenience stores.
8. The proposed amendments include:
1) Clarify the definition to identify that actual “convenience stores” sell a variety of items to include food, beverages, tobacco products, household and pharmaceutical items in one retail business.
3.5 (a)(1) For purposes of this section, convenience store means any business that is primarily engaged in the retail sale of convenience goods, or both convenience goods and gasoline, and has less than ten thousand (10,000) square feet of retail floor space. Convenience store does not include any business where there is no retail floor space accessible to the public.
(2) For purposes of this section, convenience goods means basic food, beverage, tobacco products, household and pharmaceutical items.
2) Repeal regulations that treat buildings used for convenience store use that are expanding or remodeling differently from other types of commercial buildings expanding or remodeling and treat similar to nonconforming regulations.
3) Repeal regulations that treat buildings converting from another use to a convenience store use differently from other types of retail stores changing use.
4) Not require removal of any existing pole signs, and
5) Not require compliance with current requirements for commercial design standards, landscaping, screening, etc. unless change is greater than 51% of value.
Recommendation
The Ordinance be adopted
