SO THERE'S ALREADY KIND OF A LARGE OPEN SPACE AND ALSO The property that's across the street is industrial zoned, is that right?”

“That makes sense. Appreciate it. And then I guess kind of back to staff. So it seems like for us, the question that we would weigh with this is what's intended to be accomplished with the four-sided architecture in the code? Is it worthy of a modification in this case since it's facing an industrial area, lower traffic street? Do we kind of grant a variance given that General this is our requirement, but in this specific location. It may not make as much sense That's kind of the policy decision before us for that specific item Yes, and if you would choose to do that, then you would just amend…”

“Thank you, Mayor. I think overall, this particular use in this location, I think, makes a lot of sense. This almost feels like a discussion that we have a lot in terms of, will rooftops bring commercial development or not? And in this case, it seems like they have, that there's a lot of new rooftops going in right there. And now we've got a grocery store and some other retail tenants that want to come in. seems like we're kind of achieving a goal that we talk about a lot here. I think in terms of grocery store on high traffic, Douglas, near a lot of housing, near the school, to me it makes a…”

“Thank you. So in terms of the cost that this is going to be funding, so it looks like there's the off-site improvements, the streetlights and things like that. And then there's also the site work. So is this a particularly challenging site to develop because of the topography? Is there something particular about this store or would it be difficult for anything to go in there?”

“Sorry, I know it's late. How about this? I am not opposed to the package overall. The percentage seems fine. If it comes back, I would like to understand more fully how this complies with the laws and how it would be structured because those are not questions for 1035 PM, but there are questions that I will have. And then a similar question probably about the rear access drive, because that doesn't necessarily seem like a public improvement. Some of this just seems like normal site work. So I just want to understand to what extent these are extraordinary issues. It sounds like they're not…”
