Mixed-Use Planned Development at Main Street

Context: Event E1 records only the May 13, 2026 public hearing with staff and City Plan Commission recommendations of approval subject to conditions, and no vote result appears anywhere in the record for Z-25-000132.

Recommended: The record shows a May 13, 2026 public hearing on both ordinances but no recorded Council vote or ordinance number, and the matter is still listed as active with no identified next step. Request the May 13 Council minutes and the signed ordinances from the City Secretary to determine whether the items were approved, held under advisement, or continued, since conditions and any compliance triggers cannot be verified without the adopted text.

Context: The February 19, 2026 application described one new Planned Development District covering both the IM and CS tracts, but by March 26, 2026 it was split into a new district on the CS tract and a new subdistrict within PD 1002 on the IM tract.

Recommended: The industrial-zoned tract at North Washington Avenue and Main Street was pulled out of the standalone new district and re-filed as a subdistrict inside existing Planned Development District 1002, so its base regulations, setbacks and permitted light industrial uses now flow from PD 1002 plus the new subdistrict conditions rather than from the new district text. Pull both the PD 1002 ordinance and the commission-recommended conditions before pricing entitlements or underwriting the site, or you may design to the wrong standards.

Context: Minutes M1 and M2 both record 12-0 votes with Rubin declaring a conflict and leaving the room, while E2 and E3 show the application description changed between the February 19, 2026 and March 26, 2026 hearings.

Recommended: Between the February 19 and March 26 commission hearings the single proposed district was restructured into a new district plus a subdistrict of Planned Development District 1002, yet both hearings produced identical unanimous 12-0 votes with no recorded discussion of the change. Ask planner Justin Lee and applicant representative Robert Baldwin what drove the restructuring, and ask Commissioner Rubin to state the nature of the conflict of interest that kept him out of the room for both votes.

Context: E1, E2 and E3 all describe a mix of residential, commercial and light industrial uses approved subject to conditions, with Justin Lee listed as the assigned planner in Council District 2.

Recommended: This plan puts residential, commercial and light industrial uses in the same district on the southeast side of Main Street northeast of South Peak Street, so the specific list of permitted light industrial uses, hours of operation and screening requirements live in the attached conditions, not in the district name. Ask planner Justin Lee for the conditions and development plan now, because once the ordinance is adopted those limits are fixed and changing them requires a new zoning application.
