Text Amendments
There are two minor text amendments proposed to the zoning ordinance. Both would take what are currently exceptional cases and place them under administrative review.

Each year, or at least most years, the Planning Department creates a report summarizing the activity and highlights of the year, including zoning text amendments, in-progress plan development, and related information. Provided here is an index of the recent Planning Department reports, starting in 2019 so as to have a pre-pandemic baseline. No report for 2020 is available. Below are tables to easily see the years in comparison.

1947 & 1961 Alpine Avenue NW
This is a returning agenda item; previously discussed at the 2024-08-22 Planning Commission meeting.
The site has now been rezoned, as requested, from SD-IT (Industrial Transportation) to TCC (Transitional City Center); as TCC permits retail uses. The applicant is now applying for Special Land Use (SLU) to both operate a recreational marijuana facility (which requires SLU in TCC) and to construct an eighty eight (88) space surface parking lot. This amount of parking exceeds the maximum amount of parking permitted for the 3,785sq/ft building; this is twenty three (23) parking spaced per 1,000/sq/ft. As each parking space is 153sq/ft (18ft x 8.5ft), not including lanes, this is 13,464sq/ft of parking spaces; three and a half (3.5x) times the size of the building in parking spaces. The site is within the walk-shed of the Rapid #9, which is a frequent service route.
The site is not within 1,000ft of any "sensitive uses" as required by the zoning ordinance for marijuana uses. The nearest residential use is 1,415ft from the site, the nearest religious use is 2,700ft.
