Exhibit A: Considerations - Chase Garden Special Area Zone A. Declaration of Moratorium applicable to the "commercially zoned" area within the node: (An immediate action is needed to prevent development outside the intended purpose of the commercial node.) B. Amend Special Area zone language of City code 9.3116 (6) that allows for unlimited building size for office and other non-retail businesses. (This is the specific language that is being used to circumvent the "intent and purpose" of the Chase Garden node.) · Require for a 40,000 sq ft grocery store carrying fresh produce and meat. (While this is the primary objective of the Harlow Neighbors, it may be difficult to specifically accommodate into code.) · Place a 40-percent minimum requirement for non-medical retail development. (40% x 150,000 =60,000 sq. ft.) (This would not insure a grocery store however it may help lend itself to act as an incentive.) · 60-percent maximum development for office use. (60% x 150,000=90,000 sq. ft.) · Create task force consisting of Developer, City Staff and Neighborhood Organization (Objective to act as a first step in resolving differences.) · Rezone more commercial area. (East side of Garden Way) (Could be purchased for additional medical office on property other than the current primary 8.6 acre commercial piece.) · Facilitate parking structure to free up future retail space. (long-shot for freeing up future land to be used for retail commercial) · City act as agent in purchasing property controlling future use. (Property could be used as incentives for achieving nodal purpose.) · SDC's as incentives. · Set a limit on parking. (May discourage large regional drive-to facilities.)
