8.A. - Page 4 of 15 waivers. In addition, the applicant will be requesting abandonment of a segment of a public street (Shasta), conversion to a private street (Cedar), and acquisition of a City -owned parcel (1306 Main Street). The Planning Commission will serve as the recommending body to the City Council as decision-making body for the project, with review and recommendations by the Architectural Advisory Committee, Historic Resources Advisory Committee, and Transportation Advisory Committee. The applicant held three community meetings in May and July of 2018, and in July of 2019. The following study sessions have been held or are scheduled: Transportation Advisory Committee on May 13, 2019 Architectural Advisory Committee on June 6, 2019 City Council on September 9, 2019 The applicant initially submitted a project proposal in January of 2018 requesting 589,700 sq. ft. of office, 272 multi -family units (including 60 affordable units), 10,000 sq. ft. of retail, and 10,000 sq. ft. of child care on sites A-E. Since then, the City has provided a completeness review and design input on the project. Through the City review process and input received from the community meetings, the applicant reduced the amount of office use, adjusted the child care facility (lowered interior space but increased outdoor area), increased the amount of housing and affordable housing, and increased the amount of retail space, including a family -friendly entertainment use. Based on input received, the applicant also adjusted proposed uses, street configuration, and is proposing to repurpose (demolish and rebuild in likeness) the existing Perry Feed Shed, a potentially historic resource. The project summarized in the table above reflects the current project description. ANALYSIS The project's site and building design as well as uses are driven by the zoning designations for the blocks. Mixed -Use Corridor The mixed-use corridor zoning designation allows for larger -scaled buildings with taller heights and floor area ratios for mixed-use developments. The intent of the area is to support major transit and complementary commercial and residential uses, encouraging transit use, bicycle use, and pedestrian activity. Design considerations should include public and private amenities, and transit accessibility features. 130
