6. DOWNTOWN REIMAGINED FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Sean briefly reviewed a presentation on the project priorities including Unique Character, Housing
Diversity, Destinations + Amenities, Minimize Displacement, Visibility, Natural Assets, and
Connectivity. He shared the recommended Concepts and Strategies including recommended land
use concept, community recommendations, multimodal streets, shared streets, paths, open space
recommendations, and housing recommendations. Sean noted that the recommended street plan
would happen over time as property s redeveloped. The recommendations are similar to the current
development code. Shared streets are planned to have very low traffic volumes and speeds. It was
also noted that TIF funding could preserve naturally occurring affordable housing, however it would
require a long-term commitment to maintain low-income housing, most likely through partnership
with a non-profit.
7. DOWNTOWN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS
Sean noted the Comprehensive Plan is required by the state to plan for growth and includes goals,
policies, and action measures. He briefly discussed the process and the summary of changes included
with the Agenda. The Planning Commission recommended approval to Council, which will hold a
public hearing on May 28, 2024. Sean will discuss with Schuyler Warren whether freight rail needs to
be included and share the comment to remove the multi-modal hierarchy prioritization portion.

8. Q1 TCAC GOAL UPDATE
Sean updated how the areas of emphasis were addressed and briefly reviewed them. No changes
were requested.
9. VACANT COMMERCIAL BUILDING DISCUSSION
Sean reiterated that TIF funding could be used to purchase commercial properties for
redevelopment, but the value needs to be sufficient to justify it. The buildings currently under
discussion are not completely vacant. Danelle stated that the commercial vacancy registration is used
in larger metropolitan areas with high building vacancy rates. It would cost more to administer such
a program than the fees collected. The building owners have not discussed the reason(s) for the
continued vacancy in the spaces. If there are complaints of public health or safety issues then there
are provisions in the city code to address them.
10. PROJECT UPDATES
Sean briefly reviewed the updates included with the Agenda.
11. NON-AGENDA ITEMS
A. Elise noted there is a Climate Action Committee is meeting on April 24th at the Senior
Center at 5:30 p.m.
12. LIAISON REPORTS – N/A
A. Bob attended the first Wayfinding Advisory Committee meeting where they reviewed
different shapes, sizes, structures, and colors of signs. Danelle noted the Design Advisory
team will go through design concepts. The Consultant will come back with different designs
for review by the Wayfinding Advisory Committee in May to review them followed by
public outreach for six weeks in June and July. The Consultant will use all the input to come
up with a final design recommendation that will then be reviewed by the Wayfinding
Advisory Committee before final review by Council.
B. Elise noted the next CHART meeting will occur online next week. The SAFE parking at the
church on Hwy 99W and Bull Mountain will be limited to three spaces.

The preferred alternative for the design of 72nd Avenue balances pedestrian and
bicycle safety and mobility with the ability of cars, truck and transit vehicles to move
within and through the corridor. The design also takes into account how right-of-
way widths and traffic conditions vary throughout the corridor. Below are the
preferred street cross-sections for each of the five corridor segments. Additional
design recommendations are summarized on the next page.
The proposed designs for all segments include protected bike lanes, sidewalks,
landscaping, and pedestrian amenities.
•Two travel lanes in each direction
•One continuous center turn lane
•No on-street parking
