Re: Proposed Changes to Downtown Urban Center Design Standards
Backqround
The Downtown Urban Center Design Standards were originally adopted as part of the Downtown
Urban Center (DUC) zone by the City Council February 2007. Subsequent amendments have
been made to the standards to address the two project nearing completion; the One Main
Building and Medical Office Building/Parking Garage. Staff brought for discussion the standards
to the January 26, 2010 committee meeting where the committee members provided feedback
Discussion
Staff took the feedback provided by the Committee and incorporated proposed changes to the
Downtown Urban Center Design Standards. The changes are summarized as follows:
• Added definitions page
• Re-formatted the table of contents
. Permit compact parking stalls in surface lots
• Clearer language for screening rooftop mechanical equipment
• Added language about height of buildings that front Main Street requiring a building
setback beyond two stories
. Language regarding signage in downtown (from previous meeting discussion)
• Modified which streets are designated Pedestrian 1 streets versus Pedestrian 2 streets.
At the March 9, 2010 meeting, staff would like to walk through the proposed changes to the
design standards with the Committee and have the Committee either modify the recommended
changes or recommend approval to the Planning and Community Development Committee.
