BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On February 26, 2020, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Zoning Code Amendment. the Planning Commission recommended approval to the City Council the proposed Zoning Code Amendment with the following revisions:
• Add language to the definition of a Studio that provides the Community Development Director the authority to determine “similar” studio uses
• Conduct additional research regarding the potential for oversaturation of fitness studio uses in any one area or mixed-use development and incorporate a measure into the text amendment to prevent this from occurring.
At its April 13, 2020 meeting, the City Council discussed proposed changes to the Mixed Use Ordinance and recommended that ground floor retail requirements be expanded to include pedestrian activators (e.g. studio uses, child care).
Staff will return to City Council at the June 22, 2020 regular City Council meeting with further information.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The continuation of the subject Zoning Code Text Amendment will not result in any fiscal impact.
