LSD 06-1997: Large Scale Development (DIVINITY HOTEL & CONDOS, 484): Submitted
by 1-12 ENGINEERING, INC. for property located at 101 W DICKSON, BETWEEN CHURCH
AND BLOCK. The property is zoned C-3, CENTRAL COMMERCIAL and contains
approximately 1.42 acres. The request is for a 10 -story mixed use building with a hotel, two
restaurants, retail space, parking garage and condominiums with a total of 84 residential dwelling
units.
Property Owner: LYNNKOHN, LLC Developer: THE BARBER GROUP
Planner: ANDREW GARNER
Process: Large Scale Development 06-1997 for Divinity Hotel & Condos was submitted to the
Planning Division on March 02, 2006. The Subdivision Committee on March 30, after review and
comment, voted 2-1 for this item to be forwarded to the full Planning Commission with a
recommendation for denial, based on the project proposed at that time. The applicant did not submit
plats and elevations to make the April 10 Planning Commission agenda, therefore staff did not place
the item onto the Planning Commission agenda. The applicant did submit plats and elevations, as
required by the Planning Division, in order to be placed on the Planning Commission agenda of April
24. Additionally, the applicant submitted additional updated elevations to the Planning Commission
at its agenda session for review and comment. Staff was not able to make a recommendation on those
elevations without further review. On April 24, the Planning Commission heard the Planning Staff
report and recommendation on the revised elevations, public comment, and the applicant's
presentation of the project. Due to the large amount of time required for public comment and the
applicant's presentation, and the large agenda of items at the April 24th meeting, a motion was made
by Commissioner Graves and seconded by Commissioner Ostner to table the remaining discussion of
this item until a special meeting of the Planning Commission on May 01, 2006. The motion passed
unanimously. The original staff report that was presented to the Planning Commission on April 24
has been included (Attch. A), as nothing has changed with this item since it was last heard. Public
comment, both the written and staff's sypnopsis of the verbal comment taken on Monday, April 24,
has been included, as well (Attch. B).
Current Proposal: In response to comments from staff and the Subdivision Committee on March
30 regarding certain elevations, building height, compatibility, etc., the applicant redesigned many
aspects of the structure, thereby reducing the maximum height and scale of the structure. The total
number of condominiums and hotel rooms is similar to the number of units reviewed by the
Subdivision Committee though reduced somewhat. In redesigning the structure, the square footage
of some of the uses changed and a rooftop restaurant and bar is now being proposed in addition to the
street level restaurant included on the plans reviewed by the Subdivision Committee. The building

footprint of the currently proposed structure is the same as the original proposal that covered 97% of
the 1.42 -acre site. The primary function of the structure is a 137 -room boutique hotel with some
condominium units (77 hotel -only units, 60 condo/hotel units, and 16 condo -only units), retail space,
two restaurants, and two bars. Included in the structure are amenities associated with the hotel such
as pool, fitness facility, ballroom, and banquet/meeting facilities. The square footage of each
proposed use and parking requirements is depicted in Table 2 of the staff report.
Materials: Materials and design features such as brick, glass, concrete, balconies, overhangs,
terraces, outdoor dining and deck areas have been incorporated with the proposed revisions. The use
of brick materials in a large percentage of the building has greatly aided in helping the project be
compatible with other projects on Dickson Street and in the surrounding area, while keeping its
unique design. Other surrounding buildings such as Collier's Drugstore has elements of metal and
colors that are consistent with the proposed project. Additionally, the applicant has proposed retail
windows/shop fronts for the majority of the street level, which is consistent with the Dickson Street
area as well. Along the west elevation, the Subdivision Committee voiced concerns with this being
relatively unarticulated. The elevation was revised to incorporate shop windows that can serve as
display/exhibit space for retail merchants.
Building Transition/Height: The scale and height of the structure has diminished significantly
since the initial review by the Subdivision Committee. The original maximum height at 225 feet in
15 stories has been reduced to 181 feet in 10 stories. The `tower' feature as originally presented has
been omitted, and the highest portion of the structure along Dickson Street is a transparent glass
cylinder -shaped feature that provides usable public space at the ground and top levels, adding an
artful feature to this facade on Dickson Street as opposed to the former rather monolithic wall that
did not transition along Dickson Street. Additionally, the applicant has made many changes to reduce
the height on the Dickson Street facade, stepping the structure back approximately 65 feet for the
majority of the building front above four stories, which accomplishes many of the goals of
transitioning from surrounding properties. This component of the project staff supports, as it begins
to help transition from surrounding properties that could, with future development, be as tall as six
stories or greater. The south elevation transitions in a similar way, stepping down from the mass of
the overall building adjacent to the properties to the south. The west elevation (facing onto Church
Street) has the most dramatic rise in building height adjacent to the street, rising 159 feet to the top of
the parapet. Staff can not support this elevation at this time, finding that it does not adequately
transition from the surrounding properties, which a project should do to meet Commercial Design
Standards. Additionally, the east elevation that fronts onto Block Street rises to 108 feet in eight
stories, without a great deal of transition to the smaller surrounding structures.
A few other tall structures do exist in downtown Fayetteville, as has been discussed by those in
support of the project. These include the EJ Ball building, Radisson Hotel, and Hillcrest Towers, all
of which exist in the downtown core area and were constructed prior to any city requirements
regarding Commercial Design Standards. A recently approved 16 -story East Square Redevelopment
(Mountain Inn) project was evaluated for Commercial Design Standards by the Planning
Commission and ultimately City Council, and found compliant in its location along College Avenue
in the downtown core to transition to surrounding structures, which includes the Federal Building and
Bank of America Building, and to be compatible with the policies and goals of the City, especially
those in the downtown area.
Staff has supported other projects in the Dickson Street area with a height greater than that proposed

with the Downtown Zoning Code and as discussed in the Downtown Master Plan, a policy document
adopted by the City Council in 2004. In those instances, staff worked with the applicant to find an
appropriate transition and level of compatibility in appearance, utilizing building materials and
colors, the stepping back of facades to transition from lower surrounding properties. In 1999, the
Three Sisters building was approved with a maximum five -story height of 67 feet, located 52 feet
back from Dickson Street; staff supported this project, though one Planning Commissioner voted
against it, finding specifically that it did not transition nor was it compatible with surrounding
properties, thus did not Commercial Design Standards. In the case of the Legacy Building that is
under construction, the structure steps back from the property as it rises to a maximum height of
seven stories in approximately 112 feet. More recently, for the Lofts at Underwood Plaza, the
Powerhouse Avenue front facade was approved with a two-story elevation that steps back before
rising upward, and the Dickson Street facade was approved by the Planning Commission only after
reducing the elevation to a four-story height and stepping back several times for an ultimate height of
138 feet in nine stories near the center of the property. The highest portion of this structure
constituted only a small percentage of the overall square feet. The applicants and architects for
Divinity have shown a willingness to work with staff on numerous occasions to help better address
these issues for this project, as indicated with the reduction in overall height, elimination of the more
imposing tower feature, stepping back of the Dickson Street facade above four stories and with the
overall scale and impact of the project itself, especially on Dickson Street, in order to achieve
compatibility and transition. However, staff finds that the two principal east and west facades, both
of which front onto public streets, and the overall building height — especially in feet — do not provide
adequate transition and compatibility and therefore recommends denial of the project as presented.
Compatible Use: The compatibility of use is not in question with this project, in staff's opinion.
The C-3 zoning district permits the uses proposed by the applicants by right, and staff supports such
a mixture of uses that will allow for both day and night levels of activity, thereby creating a safe
pedestrian environment. The project also could potentially begin to accomplish at least one of the
goals of the Downtown Master Plan, which is to provide for a link from the Dickson Street area to
the Downtown/Square, two distinctly different zones within the urban context of the City of
Fayetteville.
Public Comment: The citizens of Fayetteville have been actively involved and concerned with this
project, which has been the subject of several newspaper articles and news stories. Planning staff has
received numerous phone calls regarding this project, and has had several members of the public stop
by the Planning Division office to look at the applicant's plans. Staff has also received several
emails and letters that have been provided to the Planning Commissioners. At the April 24, 2006
meeting 41 people commented with a fair number of comments for and against the project. A list of
the members of the public that commented at the April 24, 2006 meeting and a summary of concerns
raised is included in the supplemental information with this report. In general, those opposed to the
project cited that the proposed structure was not compatible with the surrounding area on Dickson
Street, and would result in adverse impacts to community character. In general, those in favor of the
project cited that the introduction of the proposed structure would add to the eclectic mix of
architecture in the area, would be compatible, and would be an economic benefit to downtown
Fayetteville and the entire City.
Request: The request is for Large Scale Development approval of the submitted site plans and
elevations for the proposed commercial/residential development.

Agenda Item 1
Page 3 of 116
Recommendation: Finding that pursuant to Fayetteville Unified Development Code Section 166.14
(D)(2)(c), the structure does not meet the design element guidelines for commercial structures to
provide compatibility and transition between adjoining development, staff recommends denial of
LSD 06-1997 for Divinity Hotel & Condos. It is the charge of the Planning Commission to
determine if the project meets with current ordinance requirements, including Commercial Design
Standards. Rationale for this finding is discussed under item No. 1 below.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION TABLED THIS ITEM TO A SPECIAL PLANNING
COMMISSION MEETING ON MAY 1, 2006 WITH A VOTE OF 9-0-0 (04/24/06)
1. Planning Commission determination of Commercial Design Standards and compatibility with
the surrounding commercial developments.
Staff finds that the proposed building elevations do not meet architectural design standards
for commercial structures with regard to compatibility and transition in appearance to
adjoining properties. Staff recommends the building height be stepped back from the street,
finding that a reduced height (3-4 stories) at the street level would be more compatible with
surrounding, lower -story development on the two-lane Dickson Street, Block Avenue, and
Church Avenue. A stepped -back design would provide a transition so that the street front is
on a pedestrian scale, using materials that are also on a more pedestrian scale. Staff also
finds that more attempts to reduce the overall height are warranted. No other structure on
Dickson Street approaches the elevation and height of this particular proposal, creating
difficulty in transition and compatibility. The elevations do, for the most part, exhibit a
variety of materials and articulation. It appears that the design has avoided:
(1) Unpainted concrete precision block walls;
(2) Square, "boxlike" structures;
(3,) Metal siding which dominates the main facade; and
(4) Large out of scale signs with flashy colors.
Materials and design features such as brick, glass, concrete, balconies, overhangs, terraces,
outdoor dining and deck areas have been incorporated. The structure has been stepped back
from the Dickson Street facade primarily, with a four-story elevation at this level. The
structure then steps back before going higher. The `tower' feature as originally presented
has been omitted. A maximum building height is proposed at 10 stories (225 feet) for a small
portion of the building. The height at 225 feet greatly exceeds, however, the height of the 9 -
story, 118 foot Lofts at Underwood building recently approved by the Planning Commission,
as a comparison.
After review of the applicant's final elevations presented on 04/24/06, the project has been
revised from 15 -stories and 225' in height, to 10 -stories and 181 ' in height. Several of staff's
concerns with the original proposed structure such as materials and articulation have been
addressed with these revisions. However, staff finds that the scale and mass of the structure
when compared with surrounding structures on Dickson Street and the immediate vicinity is
not compatible, and does not provide adequate transition between adjoining development.
Finding that adjoining development and other structures in the vicinity are a much smaller
scale, generally 1-4 stories, and that the overall bulk and height of the proposed 10 -story
structure is out of proportion and on a different scale than surrounding development, staff
can not find that the project achieves adequate transition and compatibility in appearance
with surrounding properties. Based on this finding, staff recommends denial of the project.

LSD 06-1997: Large Scale Development (DIVINITY HOTEL & CONDOS, 484): Submitted
by H2 ENGINEERING, INC. for property located at 101 W DICKSON, BETWEEN CHURCH
AND BLOCK. The property is zoned C-3, CENTRAL COMMERCIAL and contains
approximately 1.42 acres. The request is for a 10 -story mixed use building with a hotel, two
restaurants, retail space, parking garage and condominiums with a total of 84 residential dwelling
units.
Property Owner: LYNNKOHN, LLC Developer: THE BARBER GROUP
Planner: ANDREW GARNER
Findings:
Background: Due to the Downtown Master Plan being forwarded from Planning Commission to
City Council and this project being in the Downtown area and being submitted after the Planning
Commission action, City ordinance would typically not allow this project to go forward to the next
step in the City processing cycle until the ordinance issue is resolved, either by City Council action,
or lack thereof by May 13. On April 04, 2006 the City Council approved an ordinance to waive this
requirement in order to allow this project to proceed without this delay.
Property: The subject property contains 1.42 acres, located on the south side of Dickson Street
between Church Avenue and Block Avenue, and is zoned C-3, Central Commercial. A single story
commercial building (Something Urban) was removed on Tuesday, March 28, 2006 at the corner of
Block Avenue and Dickson Street, and an office building at the corner of Church Avenue and
Dickson Street and a single story house on Church Avenue currently occupy the property. As
depicted in Table 1 the site is surrounded by commercial and office development in downtown
Fayetteville, with a single family residence adjacent to the southeastern border of the property.

Agenda Item 1
Page 7 of 116
Previous Proposal: As submitted to the Subdivision Committee on March 30, 2006, the applicant
proposed a 15 -story (225 feet in height) multi -use building for a 142 -room hotel with some
condominium units (82 hotel -only, 60 hotel/condo units, 23 condo -only units), retail space,
restaurant, bar, and other hotel accessory uses.
Current Proposal: In response to comments from the Subdivision Committee regarding certain
elevations, building height, compatibility, etc., the applicant redesigned many aspects of the
structure, thereby reducing the maximum height and scale of the structure. The total number of
condominiums and hotel rooms is similar to the number of units reviewed by the Subdivision
Committee though reduced somewhat. In redesigning the structure, the square footage of some of
the uses changed and a rooftop restaurant and bar is now being proposed in addition to the street
level restaurant included on the plans reviewed by the Subdivision Committee. The building
footprint of the currently proposed structure is the same as the original proposal that covered 97% of
the 1.42 -acre site. The primary function of the structure would be a 137 -room boutique hotel with
some condominium units (77 hotel -only units, 60 condo/hotel units, and 16 condo -only units), retail
space, two restaurants, and two bars. Included in the structure are amenities associated with the hotel
such as pool, fitness facility, ballroom, and banquet/meeting facilities. The square footage of each
proposed use and parking requirements is depicted in Table 2.
This development would provide vehicular access to Church Avenue and Block Avenue with a 380 -
space parking deck incorporated into the structure. This project would also provide a 20' public alley
linking the existing alley to Church Avenue.
Request: The request is for Large Scale Development approval of the submitted site plans for the
proposed commercial/residential development.
Adjacent Master Street Plan Streets/Right-of-way Dedication: Right-of-way dedication in
accordance with the Downtown Master Plan street standards as dimensioned on the submitted large
scale development plat for Dickson Street (Main Street with minimum of 55' right-of-way), Church
Avenue (ST -40 with a minimum of 40' of right-of-way), and Block Avenue (Main Street with
minimum of 55' right-of-way) along the project frontages. All public sidewalks outside of the right-
of-way shall be located within a sidewalk easement.
Street Improvements: Install a left turn lane at the traffic light at Dickson Street/St. Charles and
improve sidewalks to a minimum of 10' along all street frontages. Continue the sidewalk from the
property south to Spring Street, replacing existing sidewalks in the same manner as those constructed
on Dickson Street; width may vary, but should replace all sidewalk on the west side of Block
Avenue.
Water/Sewer: Water and sewer are available to the site and will be extended to the facility.

Commercial Design Standards: It is the responsibility of the Zoning and Development Administrator
to interpret the Unified Development Code, regarding Commercial Design Standards. A proposed
commercial building "Should provide compatibility and transition between adjoining
development... in construction and appearance." Building height undeniably affects the appearance
of a building; therefore the official interpretation as has been applied historically, is that building
height is to be considered, among other things, by the Planning Commission when determining if a
project is compliant with these standards. At the time of Subdivision Committee review of this
project the total height proposed was 225 feet, with 15 stories on a portion of the property. Staff did
not find these elevations to be compatible and meet Commercial Design Standards. With a 2-1 vote,

the Subdivision Committee also found that this project did not meet Commercial Design Standards,
and recommended denial as presented.
A 9 -story, 115 -foot structure, at a lower elevation on Dickson Street (approximately 50' lower), was
recently approved, only with the developer being required by the Planning Commission to reduce
height, utilize materials and design approach that transitions from surrounding, traditional
architectural style, fitting into the context of the site in terms of massing and pedestrian scale along
the street. Staff found similar issues to be addressed with this proposed structure, though the uses
proposed fit very well into both existing zoning and to proposed Downtown Zoning Code.
Staff has met with the applicant and architect multiple times, explaining our recommendations to
decrease the overall building height and work with the design of the structure to provide more
compatibility and transition to adjoining development. Staff is willing to work with the applicant to
bring the proposed structure into what we find to be compliant. However, at the time of publication
of this report staff has not received fully revised building elevations. Staff is anticipating revised
building elevations to be presented by the applicant at the Planning Commission meeting. In
discussion with the applicant, the maximum height has decreased considerably, and issues of
compatibility with regard to scale have been addressed. The preliminary elevations thus far have
decreased the overall height, as well as stepped the greater heights back from Dickson Street. Staff
recommends evaluating the final building elevation revisions prior to making a recommendation to
the Planning Commission.
THE SUBDIVSION COMMITTEE FORWARDED THIS ITEM TO THE PLANNING
COMMISSION WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR DENIAL (03/30/06) WITH A VOTE
OF 2-1.
Recommendation: Staff recommends evaluating the final building elevation revisions prior to
making a formal recommendation to the Planning Commission for LSD 06-1997 with the following
issues to address:
1. Planning Commission determination of Commercial Design Standards and compatibility with
the surrounding commercial developments. At the time of publication of this report, the
applicant has not submitted revised building elevations to the Planning Division for a full
and thorough review. The following recommendation is based on the 225' height, 15 -story
building that was presented to the Subdivision Committee on March 30, 2006.
Staff finds that the proposed building elevations do not meet architectural design standards
for commercial structures with regard to compatibility and transition in appearance to
adjoining properties. Staff recommends the building height be stepped back from the street,
finding that a reduced height (3-4 stories) at the street level would be more compatible with
surrounding, lower -story development on the two-lane Dickson Street, Block Avenue, and
Church Avenue. A stepped -back design would provide a transition so that the street front is
on a pedestrian scale, using materials that are also on a more pedestrian scale. Staff also
finds that more attempts to reduce the overall height are warranted. No other structure on
Dickson Street approaches the elevation and height of this particular proposal, creating
difficulty in transition and compatibility. The elevations do, for the most part, exhibit a
variety of materials and articulation. It appears that the design has avoided:
(1) Unpainted concrete precision block walls;
(2) Square, "boxlike" structures;

(3) Metal siding which dominates the main facade; and
(4) Large out of scale signs with flashy colors.
Staff recommends evaluating materials on all sides of the structure, pulling similar colors
and materials from surrounding businesses on Dickson Street. Staff also finds that the
building needs additional articulation on the south facade that will be visible from public
right-of-way, incorporating some of the elements utilized elsewhere in the building on this
very visible facade.
In a review of preliminary revised elevations presented to staff by the applicant, many of
these issues have been addressed. Materials and design features such as brick, glass,
concrete, balconies, overhangs, terraces, outdoor dining and deck areas have been
incorporated. The structure has been stepped back from the Dickson Street facade primarily,
with a four-story elevation at this level. The structure then steps back before going higher.
The `tower' feature as originally presented has been omitted. An overall building height is
proposed at 9-10 stories for a portion of the building.
At this time, staff requests public input and Planning Commission discussion regarding the
proposed revisions to the building elevations, including height, scale, and compatibility;
however, without a thorough evaluation prior to this report being published, staff anticipates
being able to make a formal recommendation with regard to the final building elevations at
the Planning Commission meeting.
Other Conditions of Approval:
2. Planning Commission determination of street improvements. A professional evaluation of
traffic movements and intersections in the vicinity was provided in writing (see attached).
Based on the information provided and the project proposed, staff recommends the following
street improvements:
a. Left turn lane at the light at Dickson Street/St. Charles with adequate stacking
distance to be approved by the City Engineer.
b. A minimum of 10' sidewalk along all street frontages, and details (color, brick, etc.)
to match Dickson Street improvements.
c. Newly constructed sidewalks along Block Avenue south to Spring Street, to match
those on Dickson Street. The applicant shall coordinate with staff to facilitate these
improvements.
d. Street lights (matching Dickson Street lights) along all frontages, as needed.
3. Planning Commission determination of a waiver for driveway width. The southern driveway
exit onto Block Avenue is 16.3' in width. This is a one-way driveway which requires the
aisle width to be no more than 15'. Staff recommends in favor of the requested waiver
finding that the additional 1.3' feet requested would not cause adverse impacts to traffic
movement or traffic safety.
4. Planning Commission determination of a waiver for driveway curb radii. Driveway curb
radii are required to be 25'. The applicant requests the following waivers of this requirement:
a. The northern driveway exit onto Church Avenue has a 20' curb radius on the
northern curb.
b. The northem driveway exit onto Church Avenue has a 15' curb radius on the

northern curb.
d The northern driveway entrance on Block Avenue specifies a curb radius on the
southern curb of 10'.
e The southern driveway exit onto Block Avenue specifies a curb radius on the
northern curb of 10'.
Staff finds in favor of the requested curb radii finding that the requested curb radius are suitable
in this urban setting with limited space to provide the full 25' on all driveways.
5. The plans shall be revised as follows:
a. The plat shall have two points on the boundary described in State Plane Coordinates,
Arkansas North Zone, North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83).
b. The plat shall have a point -of -beginning from a permanent well-defined reference
point clearly labeled on the drawing.

building elevations regarding the building height, number of stories. In addition, the
plat currently has conflicting information stating different numbers of condo and
hotel units.
d. Revise the parking table on the site plan to eliminate the 25% reduction for the retail
use and roof top bar that are not considered to be accessory uses to the hotel.
e. A minimum of six bicycle racks shall be included in an appropriate area outside of
the right-of-way. These bicycle racks shall be depicted on the plans.
6. Right-of-way dedication in accordance with the Downtown Master Plan street standards as
dimensioned on the submitted large scale development plat for Dickson Street (Main Street
with minimum of 55' right-of-way), Church Avenue (ST -40 with a minimum of 40' of right-
of-way), and Block Avenue (Main Street with minimum of 55' right-of-way) along the
project frontages.
7. The plans indicate trees to be planted along the project frontage with approximately 30'
between trees. These plantings shall match the Dickson Street Improvements with approval
of the species to be coordinated with the City's Urban Forester. Tree grates shall be provided
for the protection of planted trees. A detailed landscape plan shall be submitted at the time of
building permit.
8. The proposed street tree plantings will require structured soil. A note should be added to the
landscape plan indicating as such. Structured soil is required to be installed prior to the
sidewalks. Coordinate with the Urban Forester prior to construction.
9. Prior to building permit, a cost estimate for all required landscaping is to be submitted to the
Landscape Administrator for review. Once approval is gained, a guarantee is to be issued
(bond/letter of credit/cash) for 150% of the cost of the materials and installation of the plants.
This guarantee will be held until the improvements are installed and inspected, at the time of
Certificate of Occupancy.
10. Mitigation will be required to replace 9,252 square feet of tree canopy removed. On-site

PLANNING DIVISION CORRESPONDENCE

Date: March 31, 2006
Subject: Applicability of Commercial Design Standards to Height
125 W. Mountain St.
Fayetteville, AR 72701
Telephone: (479) 575-8267
As required by the Unified Development Code, the code under which the Planning Commission
operates to approve or disapprove applications that are required to be submitted for review, certain
projects are subject to §166.14 Commercial Design And Development Standards. More
specifically, §166.14 (D) Design elements guidelines for commercial structures contains the
criteria by which staff and the Planning Commission reviews a project to determine if it is indeed
compliant with these provisions. One of the provisions has been debated in recent Planning
Commission meetings, with regard to height. The following is excerpted from that ordinance:
§166.14 (D) (2) Construction and appearance design standards for
commercial structures.
(c) A development should provide compatibility and transition
between adjoining developments.
The interpretation of this section of the Unified Development Code, by ordinance, is not
left to the Planning Commission or City Council; rather, the interpretation of a zoning or
development ordinance is delegated to the Zoning and Development Administrator. That
interpretation is a final interpretation, and can only be appealed by the owner of record to
the Board of Adjustment.
With regard to the question of "Can building height be considered as part of commercial
design standards?", the official interpretation is yes, building height can be considered as
part of the Planning Commission's review of Commercial Design and Development
Standards, in determining whether the proposed building provides appropriate
compatibility and transition between adjoining developments. It should be noted that this
subsection falls under the heading "Construction and appearance design standards for
commercial structures." The height of a building certainly affects its appearance and
subsequently its compatibility and transition, or lack thereof, between adjoining
developments. The Unified Development Code does designate height limitations within
certain zoning districts, most commonly within multi -family residential districts. Instead of
a strict limit within other districts, it is left to the Planning Commission to determine
whether a proposed building meets the applicable criteria set forth in the Unified

Development Code, including Commercial Design and Development Standards.
In contrast, the use of a property should not be considered to determine compatibility and
transition, if that use is already allowed by right within the zoning district where the
building is proposed to be located. If a zoning district allows a use by right, the Planning
Commission may not deny an application for large scale development based on a finding
of lack of compatibility or transition between the proposed use and adjoining
developments.
Recent questions of the application of commercial design standards differently in various
parts of the city have also arisen. The criteria of Commercial Design and Development
Standards are to be applied to property owners uniformly. However, determining transition
and compatibility in a review of the appearance of a proposed building are inherently tied
to the context of the environment in which a building is located. For example, the
compatibility and transition of a commercial building within the Industrial Park will likely
be very different than the compatibility and transition of a building near a residential
district, or within an office park, or within the downtown. These applications are to be
fairly and justly applied to projects within the city as a whole, and should take into account
the surrounding environs.

Date: March 14, 2006
Subject: Suspension of Permits Pending Zoning Amendments
On February 12, 2006, the Planning Division filed an official recommendation to refer to the
Planning Commission an adoption of zoning amendments to the Unified Development Coda The
"amendments were advertised in accordance with city codes, and action was taken by the Planning
Commission on February 27, 2006. The Planning Commission has recommended to the City
Council a new zoning code for the downtown area identified within the Downtown Master Plan,
and is deliberating a map associated with these codes and districts. These amendments are
proposed to create a Downtown Zoning Code and new zoning district map, in accordance with
the Downtown Master Plan as adopted by the City Council in 2004.
Pursuant to Ch. 166.17 of the Unified Development Code, staff may not issue any permits for
structures, buildings or uses in the area concerned (the Downtown Master Plan boundary) that
would be prohibited otherwise for a period of 90 days following the matter being referred to the
Planning Commission. This memo is to call attention to the City Council that any request
submitted to the Planning Division or Building Safety Division within the Downtown Master
Plan boundary will be suspended for that period of time, to end on May 13, 2006, unless the City
Council takes final action on the question within that time. To my knowledge, there are two
requests that are affected by this proposal; each applicant will be notified immediately.
