With regard to the setback and street ordinance, these are my concerns:
Sidewalks in residential neighborhood collectors can be only 11 feet wide (6
ft. sidewalk and 5 ft. hardscape parkrow). Is this wide enough? What if
there is an existing sidewalk on either side of a proposed site that is wider?
The City should have the ability to require a wider sidewalk and/or parkrow
in certain circumstances. If it means developing criteria in exchange for
some kind of variance, we need to figure out what these criteria should be.
Hardscape parkrows: The existing Street Standards talk about the benefits of
large trees in the downtown area, which would need parkrows of at least six
feet. The Tree Commission should have more input on the size of tree wells
and the type of soil needed for various types and sizes of trees. They might
even want to specify the types of trees to be used downtown.
I would like to include restrictions on the first floor occupants of buildings
with no setback requirement, or at least require the investigation of this issue
by Staff and Planning Commission. Can there be a placeholder for such a
requirement?
I want to be able to vote in favor of this ordinance, so I'm proposing to table
the second reading of this ordinance only until the next Council meeting
(June 17) in order to get the answers to these questions and prepare an
amendment.
Thanks,
Alice
