The following <br />changes are proposed: <br /> <br />1) Modify the existing special use permit provision limiting residential units to 50 <br />percent of the first floor. Add language to require conformance to the Design <br />Guidelines for Original Hastings to determine building uses per floor within the DC <br />District. <br /> <br />2) Modify building height language to allow buildings to be either 47 feet tall or <br />756.5 feet (height of the Finch Building). This change is consistent with a <br />concurrent change to the Shoreland Ordinance. <br /> <br />The City Council considered 1st reading of the amendment at the March 21, 2005 <br />Meeting. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the changes at the <br />March 14,2005 meeting. No one from the public spoke for or against the item during <br />the public hearing. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />· Ordinance Amendment <br />· Design Guidelines for Original Hastings - Figure 2- Street Types <br />
