“Sorry, I just wrote a quick note, but throughout the presentation there was mention that regarding nonconforming language as was in the noxious use ordinance. So my question was to remind us of that.”

“Thank you for that. And then my last question on the noxious uses. So I did see that we had one letter mentioned how we were regulating odorless and non visible pollutants. Do we feel the noxious use ordinance also encompasses that?”

“Thank you. Those are all my questions on the noxious use and the residential industry interface. I also have a question on the architectural resources, the new supplemental standard district. So can you please provide more information on exactly what that means, what is allowed on them, where they exist throughout the city, and if there's a map where that highlights where those areas exist. And if it's small, we can zoom in. That would be really helpful to me. Thank you.”

“City Council Chambers, Thank you, and are there. City Council Chambers, Does that supplemental standard district apply anywhere throughout the city or like apply to any other type of use that is not residential throughout the city.”

“City Council Chambers, Okay, so with that supplemental standard district it's essentially to protect them preserve historic resources, it does that. City Council Chambers, dictate what new uses can or cannot exist. City Council Chambers, district is applied.”

“Okay. Thank you for that clarification. And then I just have two more questions that should be a lot faster. So I know there was a mention of parking and how some of these zoning code updates will facilitate parking. Can you just share more detail on how that is happening?”
Planning Commission · Aug 10, 2026

“So is it essentially changing parking requirements or standards?”
Planning Commission · Aug 10, 2026
- Play at 1:31:09
“Not specific to either. I just remember seeing on the slide mentioned that the zoning code would facilitate parking in some way. So curious as to what that means.”
Planning Commission · Aug 10, 2026

“Thank you. And then if you can just clarify, does this then change any residential parking? Does it make any changes to what is required for residential parking?”
Planning Commission · Aug 10, 2026

“Thank you. So the way that parking was assessed for the zoning code, then there was no. So there was no interaction between that and the city's ongoing parking study. I can respond to that. Thank you.”

“Great. Thank you for that clarification. And just for anyone, for everyone that may be listening to understand that the zoning code update is not going to address our existing issue, parking issues in residential neighborhoods is what I understand, but will help. bring new businesses in by reducing parking requirements and making it easier. Great. And then my last question is on the environmental justice policies. So I think one of the early slides showed that there were 20 new policies in the environmental justice realm. So I'm wondering if you have a list of those that you can put on the…”

“So I'm referring to environmental justice policies that are being addressed by the Zoning Code Update. Councillor Osanic Oh, I'm sorry. As referenced in one of the early slides where it mentioned how many policies per realm arena, and I believe it was 20 under environmental justice, but I could have written that number down wrong.”
