Ordinance No. 1 amendments include revisions that ~ncrease the allowable uses in the C~4 zone by adding permitted uses in the "trade" category. Two of the uses added, book store and drug stores lend themselves to "neighborhood commercial" developments. Transportation Element, Policy F. L Apply the nodal development strategy in areas selected by each jurisdiction that have identified potential for this type of transportation-~fficient land use pattern. The ordinance concerning nodal development includes a change to clarify the City's intent that residential development in the nodal development areas achieve an average density of 12 units per net residential acre. It sets the minimum density requirement for nodal development areas within the R-1 and R~l.5 zones at 8 units per net residential acre. The amendments in this ordinance related to n~n~murn residential densities for different base zones exceed those set forth in the Land Use Code, consistent wi~h the intent to achieve an average of 12 units per net residential acre. This requirement for higher intensity of development will promote transit use and is consistent with the reqmrement of Policy F.3. .Citizen Involvement Eletn_~nh Policy .~. Improve and maintain local mechanisms that provide the o~portunity Jbr residents and property owners in existing residential areas to pamicipate in the implementation r~f policies in the Plan that may affect the character of those areas. The ordAnance concerning land use regulations includes a revision to the requirement that the City install a 12 square foot freestanding sign on development sites that have certain types of land use decisions pending. The size requirement has been reduced to 6 square feet. This change will still provide broad public notice of pending land use decisions, yet the smaller s~ze will be more efficient for installation on the property and is consistent with Policy 3. Refinement Plan Polities The amendments do not address a specific area of the city or a specific public facility. Therefore~ no refinement plan is particularly applicable. Exhibit A - 6
