Correcting an error was never presented to the Planning Commission even when directly asked. <br /> <br />I listened to the recording and made a transcript of the relevant parts along with timecode in case anyone wants <br />to listen. <br /> <br />================================================== <br /> <br />8:43 Andrew Mogensen's opening remarks pertaining to the P-zone height <br />So in the spring of 2017 [sic] we received some comments about the development standards in the Professional <br />Office zoning district and those concerns were presented to the City Council at a public comments session. For <br />mixed-use and multi-family residential developments in the Professional Office district and all of the <br />commercial zones, it referred to other sections of the code for those development standards for those two uses. <br /> <br />So multi-family residential, mixed-use residential, it said go look at this other chapter of the code. And that <br />other chapter of the code didn't quite line up well with the Professional Office. The zoning code for P had a <br />height limit of 30-ft except for these mixed-used and multi-family residential. <br /> <br />So the public said "why is this 50-ft, we want it to be reduced to 30-ft, this isn't good". So the City Council in <br />Feb directed us to implement a targeted zoning code update for the Commercial and Professional districts and to <br />reduce the height limit from 50-ft down to 30-ft. So that's what we have done, that's what we have before you. <br /> <br />[No mention that the original intent was for P to be limited to 30-ft. No mention that the City Council's <br />directive was to correct an error. No mention of the FAQ on the City's website stating the intent was for P to be <br />limited to 30-ft. The public didn't want it reduced, the public wanted it corrected.] <br /> <br />================================================== <br /> <br />46:38 Public Comments, Aaron Bukofzer (the only public comment) <br />My name is Aaron Bukofzer.
