AGENDA ITEM NO.5: Discussion of Northgate Ordinance (KF) Economic Development Director Kim Foutz gave the presentation on bringing NG-2 to NG-l standards. She stated there would be some nonconformities such as drive-thrus, fuel sales, outdoor health clubs, parking as a primary use (no longer conditional) and retail over 50,000 feet. If an existing drive-thru were to remodel their business they would not be allowed to continue having the drive-thru. The businesses on major roads like University Drive and Church would not be able to have parking, office space (with exceptions), or residential uses on the ground floor. Ms. Foutz stated that NG-2 does not just have University Drive frontage it goes deeper into the district so the pedestrian orientation is lost. Mr. Trainor asked if the current zoning map could be redrawn for the Northgate districts. Mr. Benning expressed the need for the business owners in those districts to be included in any changes in that area. There was discussion in length about building design standards,. parking, pedestrian access, streetscaping, and landscaping. After reviewing a zoning map of North gate, the Board members suggested that this issue be discussed in the future when they have gone out and looked at the districts more closely.

After reviewing the colors, the Board members accepted the color palette, but stated that they would like to have a case- by-case variance.
