proposed change at least ten days prior to the hearing: The public and~in- terested partied will have an opportunity to submit testimony to the Planning Comm~ss~on and C7ty Council ~n public hearings. Based on these requirements, there appears to be adequate opportunity for public involvement in the re- finement plan amendment and the establishment of the Mixed-Use District. The second portion of the criteria requires a showing that the uses will be compatible with one another and integrated with the surrounding neighborhood. 1n addition to the points raised in the applicant's statement, staff makes the fol 1 owl ng findings : ~. The development standards proposed in the Mixed Use district draft pro- pose the RA development standards for residential develapment and GO zoning district development standards for nonresidential development. The development standards for the residential uses will be the same as are in place for the surrounding residential neighborhood. 1n the G4 zoning district standards, the height limit is 45 feet compared with 25 feet far the RA district. In order to provide greater compatibility with the surrounding residential neighborhood, the staff would propane revising the development standards to limit the height of all new struc- ture to the height limits in the RA district. Z. The staff is concerned with the develapment of new non-residential structures on the property. The existing nonresidential buildings are known and part of the existing character of the site. Staff feels that new nonresidential buildings should not be allowed without some special review to ensure their internal and external compatibility. For this reason, staff suggests that the Mixed-Use zoning district include a requirement that any new nonresidential development apart from the use of the existing building should be processed under the site review pro- cess with the following spec7f~c concerns to be addressed during this site review process: a. Compatibility with the surroundings, particularly when residential in character. b. Efficient, workable, and safe interrelationships among buildings, parking circulation, open space, and landscaped areas, as well as related activities and uses. c. Safe and efficient ingress and egress. With the above additions to the Mixed Use zoning district, staff feels the proposed MU Mixed-Use district will be integrated with the surrounding area and be a functi oval and healthful environment. Section 9.478~c}: At least 5o percent-4f the lots or parcels to be classified as an MU Mixed-Use District are already developed with struc- tures, This request has three tax lots, with two of the parcels already developed with ex~st~ng structures. The only vacant parcel is Tax Lot 8102. Over 50 percent of the area of the proposed Mixed-Use district is currently developed with structures.
