INTEREST IN THE HEART OF THE CITY SPECIFIC PLAN. WE PARTICIPATED
IN ALL OF THE TEN+ (10+) MEETINGS FOR THE REVISION OF THE HEART

NOW WE SUGGEST THAT

2. DETERMINE AN ADEQUATE SIDE STREET SETBACK FOR A
CORNER LOT IN THE HOC SIMILAR TO OTHER PLANS OF THE
CITY.
3. RETAIN THE CURRENT' EXCEPTION PROCESS IN THE HOC.
4. RESCIND THE ZONING ORDINANCE REGARDING STREET
SQUARE FOOTAGE TO DETERMINE GROSS LOT DENSITY.
WE SUGGEST THAT THE PLANNING STAFF REVIEW OUR MORE
DETAILED COMMENTS ON THE ABOVE IN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE
PROMETHEUS BILTMORE PROJECT, ISLANDS RECONSIDERATION AND THE
SAICH WAY STATION APPEAL.
ON AUGUST 20, 2013 THE CITY COUNCIL DIRECTED STAFF TO PROCEED
WITH THE PUBLIC PROCESS TO CLARIFY SETBACK REQUIREMENTS FOR
CORNER PARCELS.
