“I think that was all I had. Anyone else? I believe that is going to take us to, we have had a request to approve this. So do I have a motion to approve the proposed code amendments, urban agricultural uses in single family residential zones?”

“So I know that you're looking just for some conversation around this and feedback. I feel like this is a good place because that was a lot of information so far, maybe separating out the residential element would be a good time to just sort of get a little feedback. Personally, I just have a couple of questions. Do we have any idea how prevalent the RS-8 is?”

“So, I mean, it looks, I mean, it's kind of sparse, right? I mean, not horribly. I would definitely be looking at option two. I don't know if it's A or B yet, though. What am I doing? Yeah, go ahead.”

“Any other thoughts? So for me, from a permitting standpoint, I love the idea of streamlining. All of our zones, I think when you get too many, it just gets too convoluted and it makes it harder for a homeowner to understand what the restraints are. And it also makes the review timelines much larger for staff. But that's just from a logistics standpoint, not from a human standpoint always. So I think that's all I have.”

“I'm going to concur. I also made a note that data centers, warehouses, equipment sales and rentals and storage yards seem excruciatingly out of place in that area. I remember when the Lowe's was across the street and that was all just open land. The first few times after the Lowe's opened, there were deer in the parking lot all the time. Because we keep encroaching on that space. And I would be highly against all of it at this point. I think that daycare centers are completely fine. Accessory retail, depending on what it is. So I don't know that we can stipulate that. Multifamily residential…”

“So I have a question about going back to outdoor dining specifically. Because if we're requiring a 15-foot dense landscape buffer for this type of development, it seems like it should carry through for that as well. I mean, it's sort of a noise buffer. on things so I just feel like five feet on the side for outdoor dining is pretty darn close when you're saying that a typical setback and I realize there are different things for structure versus activity but if we're retaining a six foot side Just as a setback, then having five foot side for dining and no landscape buffer just seems intrusive.…”

“Stole what I was going to say. I was going to mention the night concerts as well starting tomorrow. Thank you for all you've done. I also concur that I really wish the state before passing this bill had implemented some sort of infrastructure alignment with density. That's one of my frustrations also. um one last item and just because it hit me was i was walking here i was crossing the street right at the crosswalk and there's a big construction sign just to the left of the crosswalk if you're crossing from the park so just to the north which blocks any pedestrian visibility whatsoever so i'd…”
