<PRE>Fellow Board Members & Friends of ON:
As some of you may know, the City is proposing changes to its
mixed-use zoning ordinances (see "PA#96-04, Zoning Ordinance Amendment
#02-04. . .Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to development
standards within the Mixed Use (M-U) Zoning District"). The staff
report initially was presented to City Council 12 July, 2005. The
recommendations were passed, but because of concerns raised by a
U-RiceLane resident, people were invited to comment prior to a second
reading.
That second reading has been postponed until August 1st, at my
request, in order to give ON and OE time to study the proposals.
Because this had happened while we were distracted with the Fifth
Street issue, it pretty much escaped attention. After a discussion
with Tim Allis of OE, I spoke last week at length with Sarah Worley
about some concerns with the changes; Ken Hiatt, the lead person on the
new wording, was on vacation at the time. Tim and I consulted and
subsequently arranged to have Ken Hiatt meet with us upon his return.
Given timing constraints, it worked out to invite Ken to the ON monthly
meeting, this coming Thursday, the 28th, and to postpone the second
reading of the revisions until August 1st. Ruth Asmundson agreed to
that schedule.
This is important to ON because most of the east-facing side of G
Street between 5th and 7th lies in the affected, M-U zone. Staff has
said they do not intend the proposed changes to roll back any
residential protections, but instead to gain flexibility and eliminate
redundancy in the language of the document. On the other hand, it
appears to several of us that deleting several provisions with respect
to lot coverage and open space might indeed have significant impacts on
areas adjacent to residential zones. Our concerns may arise from
misunderstandings, or they may in fact be legitimate worries, perhaps
lurking in unintended consequences. At any rate, we need to understand
better the meaning of the proposal.
Please take a look at the MU Zoning document and come to the monthly
meeting prepared to talk about it. Ken Hiatt and some folks from OE
will be there to join the discussion. If you have questions, please
let me know and I'll try to answer them.
Bruce
