• Discussion of Community Commercial Zone.
Motion: Ed Howden, to approve comments regarding New Community Commercial
District as follows:
NPO #7 endorses the new Community Commercial district. However, we advocate
additional limits on scale.
First, this district should include a lower 30,000 sq ft limit on single grocery store gross
floor area.
Second, this district should exclude the conditional use process to raise a limit on single
store gross floor area.
Third, this district should include a limit on total commercial gross floor area (versus civic
gfa) equal to 25% of site gross acres.
We now agree with Mssrs. Bewersdorff and Offer that this commercial district could be
compatible with residential areas at major collector-major collector intersections. We now
understand that this district would be smaller than 8 acres at some sites to be compatible
with surrounding residential areas. We concede that this district could better serve some
residential areas from sites at some major collector-major collector intersections.
We still argue that this commercial district should include low limits for single grocery
store gfa (30,000 sq ft) and single general retail store gfa (10,000 sq ft) to ensure that
such stores would be compatible with residential areas. Low limits on gross floor area
for single stores would:
` • •
1. Soften storefronts within residential areas;
2. Promote stores that provide convenience shopping for nearby residents
(see Matt Marcott exhibit);
3. Limit stores that provide comparison shopping for general consumers;and
4. Promote a variety of goods and services at one location (see Shopping
Center Build-out exhibit).
We also argue that this district should exclude the conditional use process to raise a limit
on single store gross floor area. It is the right of residents to set limits on single store gfa
now (versus hearings officers later) to ensure stores would be compatible with their
neighborhoods.
And we still argue that this district should include a limit on total commercial gross floor
area to promote some civic use (branch library) within residential areas. We suggest a
limit on total commercial gfa equal to typical site coverage of one-story retail build-out.
Seconded: Jim Blanchard -- In favor: 4 Abstain: 1
