~ol~owing adoption of the Unified Developrnent Ordinance ~uDO~ an April 5, ~o~..,
Planning staff began revie of existing regulations and their appiication to future
development praposalst It vas deterrnined that several of the standards applicable
to many of the current coning districts overlapped, and in some instances mere
onerous and limited development potential in districts intended for economic
deveiopment~ In addition, there aro inconsistencies in tern~inoiogy Within the UDO,

information i offeredt
Q Section 3~4 general commercial Districts -~ Attachment ~-A
The proposed amendments to Section ~.~ for the ~ffice~institutional ~~li~ coning district
are intended to provide more reasonable and effective standards of development,
specifically with regard to the linked land use classifications where the zoning district is
permitted, the intensity of development expected in those land use classifications, and
the potential availability of urban services.
In accordance with the land Use and honing Matrix contained within the adopted ~0~0
Comprehensive Plan, the Uri coning district is permitted within the Commercial
Transition Activity Node and the Commercial-industrial Activity Node land use categories
As stated in the definitions of these land use categories, those types of land uses are to
be located near mayor transportation ro~~tes and are intended for mare intense nan~
residential and nixed-use developmentR Urban services, such as water and wastewater
services, have been or are expected to be provided to these areas The proposed
changes to Section ~4 far the ~ffice~institutional coning district are consistent with the
corresponding land use classifications The modification to the purpose ofthe district as
well as the increased floor area ratio ~~AR},the modified open space ratio ~oS~~, and the
ar~ended pedestrian landscape ratio ~Pl~} are more in keeping with the intent of the
corresponding land uses and will perr~it more intense developrr~ent in areas designated
for economic development. in addition, the acreage lirnitatian and access requirements
proposed for deletion unnecessarily limit the application of this coning distract within the
land use classifications it is linked to~
Q Section 5.~ Table of Permitted Uses , Attachment ~~B
The proposed additions and deletions to the uses permitted within the ~Ji ~onir~g district
are consistent with the purpose of the zoning district and are intended to allow an
appropriate mix of uses suitable in the areas of the county designated for more intense
development ~i.e. the Commercial Transition Activity Nodes and ~amrnercial~inclustrial
Transition Activity Nodes where the ~~i coning district can be applied. Mass ~ and Class
3 office Personal Services are proposed to be added as permitted uses, as well as
Assembly and Packaging ~peratians and Postal Parcel Delivery Services. dower
intensity residential uses not necessarily compatible with potential nan~residential
operations are proposed for deletion a "perrr~itted by right" within the coning district
while 'Dwelling; multiple family' is proposed to remain as a permitted use, for rr~ixed~use
application
Q Article ~~ Definitions ~- Attachment ~-C
!Then evaluating the development standards for the ~ f l caning district, staff discovered
inconsistencies between the definitions of '~per~ Space Ratio' and rRecreat'ran Space
Ratio' included in Article 1D of the t)D~ and how those ratio standards are actually
applied, per Sections ~.3.~ and ~.5. The definitions are incorrect. The proposed
amendments to Article ~.p correct those defi~7itions, making them consistent with tl~e
standards in Article ~ and actual practice,
