Subject: Discuss regulations for updating the Employment Center District code II. Originated by: Rachel Roberts, City Planner III. Summary: As you may recall, we have been working with Jay Narayana from Livable Plans & Codes on updating the Employment Center District code to include additional areas planned to be included in this district according to the Employment Center Master Plan. The Employment Center Code update was begun before the overall zoning code update, so it was not originally planned to be included in the overall code update. Now that we've begun the larger code update, however, Ms. Narayana recommends folding the Employment Center Code update into that larger process, and staff agree. We would like the Commission to review the draft regulations, though, before we forward them to our zoning consultants. Following this staff report is a draft of the revised EC code. The changes made were in response to input from the advisory committee and from residents of the Oak Crest neighborhood. We have made some changes to the code as a whole, but the largest change is the addition of the Flex zone. The Flex zone incorporates the area identified as Office/Flex Space in the master plan. We describe the Flex zone as follows. This sub-district is intended to provide locations for major office development, whether for corporate headquarters or multiple smaller offices, or cottage and artisan industrial uses. Ideally, a mix of land uses—with a focus on employment—would occupy this area. Buildings could be an eclectic mix of different office, cottage and artisan industrial buildings from Class-A professional office to adaptive reuse of existing buildings with architectural metal, et cetera, all designed within a walkable context towards internal streets. Live-work units would also be suitable for this district. Businesses located in this district should be compatible with existing residential uses in the vicinity in terms of hours of operation, volume and type of traffic, amount of parking provided, noise levels, and exterior lighting. You'll see that because this sub-district's purpose and context differ from the purpose and context of the corridor commercial sub-districts, the regulations for this sub-district also differ on some points. But the area must still meet the overarching goals of the district, and streetscapes and frontages should transition smoothly from one sub-district to another. Many of the regulations, therefore, are the same as those for the Corridor Commercial sub-districts. Ms. Narayana is currently reviewing the same draft you are reviewing, so I may have additional changes for you to consider next month. However, any substantive changes she make recommend should be limited to a few recommendations; most of her recommendations have already been incorporated into the draft you are reviewing. IV. Notification: V. Fiscal Impact Summary: VI. Legal Impact: VII. Recommendation: None VIII. Alternative Actions: Please provide feedback to staff on the proposed changes to the Employment Center District code. IX.

Subject: Discuss status of overlay ordinances for Urban Village and Neighborhood Village character districts II. Originated by: Rachel Roberts, City Planner III. Summary: Staff had planned to bring this ordinance to you this month as an action item with a public hearing. However, we now have the opportunity to have the ordinance reviewed and to have revisions recommended by one of our consultants, Livable Plans & Codes, before the ordinance goes through the formal adoption process. Staff have therefore postponed bringing this ordinance forward for official action by the Planning & Zoning Commission. We expect to bring you an improved version of the ordinance for formal consideration in September or October. Rezoning of property will occur in following months, as needed or requested. IV.

Summary: Request: Final Plat, The Vineyard Phase I Location: corner Mansfield Cardinal Rd and Little School Rd Applicant: Alluvium Development Timeline: 6/5/2015 Plat and plans submitted to City for pre-application review 6/24/2015 Comments provided to applicant 7/10/2015 Plat application submitted 7/25/2015 Plat application deemed complete, City review begun 8/5/2015 City comments provided to developer 8/12/2015 Revised plans submitted to the City Background. The Commission approved a preliminary plat for The Vineyard in January 2014, with the final plat to be submitted in two phases. Phase I was approved by the Commission in March 2014 and contained fifty-seven (57) residential lots and four (4) common area lots with detention features, as well as the entry features. Phase 11 is proposed to have sixty (60) residential lots and two (2) common area lots. The property is zoned as The Vineyard Planned Development district. The infrastructure for Phase I is nearly complete. Application requirements. Applications for a final plat shall include a plat drawing, a drainage study, and engineering/construction drawings. In addition, final plats require a city-developer agreement, which will be brought forward for approval by City Council at a later date. Staff Review. Compliance with the comprehensive land use plan. In terms of the proposed use and the concepts in the site design (i.e., the drainage/detention features designed as neighborhood open space amenities), the final plat conforms to the comprehensive plan. Staff considers the final plat for Phase I to be in compliance with the comprehensive plan. Compliance with city regulations. In addition to being in compliance with the comprehensive land use plan, plats must also comply with all applicable city regulations. These regulations include the subdivision design regulations, the Public Works design manual criteria for public improvements, and the zoning ordinance governing the Vineyard Planned Development district. In addition, the final plat must substantially conform to the preliminary plat. City staff and the consulting engineers have reviewed the proposed plat and construction plans for compliance to these regulations. We have given comments to the developer's engineers, and they have revised the plans. Our engineers are now reviewing the revised plans and should have finished their review before the public hearing. Staff will have a recommendation at that time. IV. Notification: V.
