1. Call to Order
Brad Fyle called the special meeting to order at 4:30 p.m.
2. Consideration of a Planned Unit Development Concept Proposal in the Central
Community District (CCD) to accommodate multiple family attached housing,
including residential uses on the ground floor. Applicant: Master's Fifth Avenue
Steve Grittman indicated that the purpose of the meeting is to review a Planned Unit
Development (PUD) Concept Proposal to rezone property at 3rd and Locust Streets to
allow ground floor residential housing and identify issues to be addressed as part of the
Development Stage PUD. He noted that staff had identified a number of site planning
specifications as important development considerations. These included pavement design,
sidewalk access, on- street angled parking, continuity of street lighting theme, garage
placement, garage design and materials, use of curb and landscaping to separate areas,
elevation finishes and design treatments consistent with Embracing Downtown Plan
Design guidelines, building elevations as shown on the included plans and other elements
based on final design.
Grittman pointed out that the applicant had opted to request a rezoning to Planned Unit
Development (PUD) as an alternative option to the initially submitted request to rezone
the site to Central Community District- Residential (CCD -R) Overlay District upon
learning that the proposed density exceeds the amount allowable within the CCD -R. He
suggested that rezoning to PUD would provide an opportunity to establish flexible
development standards to accommodate the 23 unit density proposed for the project.
Grittman noted that the proposal meets parking requirements for the proposed density for
multi- family housing in the downtown. There was considerable discussion related to
existing and future parking availability and traffic flow and some concern that the
proposed project might further restrict the area parking options.
There was also some concern noted that the garage configuration proposed might impact
business for those establishments which rely on visibility and access from both a front

entrance on Broadway and a rear entrance from the parking lot. Several alternative garage
scenarios and building configurations were suggested.
Grittman summarized that there seemed to no significant objection to ground floor
residential use on this site. He indicated that staff would consult with the applicant to
review site plan and parking options to address the issues discussed.
