D. PUBLIC HEARING: Zoning Text Amendment 2021-RZ-2; Various zoning districts; Zoning text amendments to Title 17 of the Brisbane Municipal Code to City of Brisbane to establish objective design and development standards for housing development projects; establish residential density requirements for the NCRO-2 Zoning District; allow multiple family dwellings in the SCRO-1 District by right and multiple family dwellings as part of a mixed use in the NCRO-2 Zoning District by right; reduce guest parking requirements; and establish procedures and requirements for an administrative Housing Development Permit for qualifying housing development projects. City of Brisbane, applicant; Citywide.

Director Swiecki introduced Contract Senior Planner Beggs.

Contract Senior Planner Beggs and project consultants Aaron Aknin and Nicholas Hamilton of Good City gave the staff presentation and answered questions about the criteria for certain development regulations, including step-backs, which zoning districts are impacted by the proposed amendments, the timing of approval required by the State, and if additional visualization and/or simulation materials of the proposed amendments could be provided.

The Commission asked staff and the consultants to further explain the proposed reduction in guest parking, including how the proposed standard was determined and whether the Housing and Community Development (HCD) would permit Brisbane to retain its current and more stringent standard.

Director Swiecki explained the State views parking as a constraint on housing availability and is regulating municipalities to reduce governmental constraints. Mr. Akin further indicated that HCD’s review will include ensuring the feasibility of the proposed amendments are not financially burdensome, i.e., a limiting factor to the construction of housing, and leaving the guest parking standard unchanged may necessitate a subsequent change in the future.

Commissioners Funke and Gooding requested clarification on the approval process for new mixeduse and multifamily projects and the role of the Zoning Administrator. Director Swiecki informed the Commission that without any discretionary standards, the Zoning Administrator’s role is to ATTACHMENT 3D

City of Brisbane
Planning Commission Agenda Report
TO: Planning Commission For the Meeting of 11/16/2021
SUBJECT: Zoning Text Amendment RZ-2-21; Zoning text amendments to Title 17 of the Brisbane Municipal Code (BMC) to establish objective standards for housing development projects and permit multiple family dwellings in the NCRO-2 and SCRO-1 Zoning Districts by right; City of Brisbane, applicant; Citywide.

SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT
This item was continued from the October 28, 2021, Planning Commission Public Hearing. The Staff Report for the October 28th Hearing is included as Attachment A for context and further information.

This supplemental staff report will summarize Planning Commission and public comments from the previous hearing and set forth staff responses.

October 28, 2021 Planning Commission Hearing
On October 28th the Planning Commission considered and continued the item after the staff presentation, questions from Commissioners, and public comment. Issues raised at the hearing are discussed below:

State Law Requirements and Draft Ordinance Scope
Members of the public and commission asked for clarification of the scope of the Draft Ordinance and what regulations are optional versus required by State Law.

State Law does not precisely dictate the objective standards cities will apply to Housing Development projects, but it does specify that only objective standards can be applied. Under the current Ordinance, the objective standards set forth for the NCRO-2 District include lot dimensions, lot coverage, height, setbacks, storefront requirements, and open space requirements. However, these limited objective standards may not promote high-quality design, as shown in Figure 1. As state law prevents the City from applying subjective design permit findings (for example, BMC 17.42.040 (A): “the proposal's scale, form and proportion, are harmonious, and the materials and colors used complement the project”), if such an application was submitted, the City would have limited leverage to deny the project without facing legal scrutiny.

Figure 1: NCRO-2 Building Design Under Current Objective Standards Figure 2: NCRO-2 Building Design Under Proposed Objective Standards By adopting the Draft Ordinance and objective standards within, the City would have the ability to exercise greater control over the design of Housing Development Projects in addition to currently defined objective standards. As illustrated above in Figure 2, the Draft Ordinance would add objective standards and regulations to control site design, massing, materials, and articulation of a building.

New requirements include:
• Second and third-story rear stepbacks for projects adjacent to lower density residential zones to promote a context-sensitive transition from lower to higher density sites • Third story front stepbacks to provide visual relief and articulation from a pedestrian perspective
• Articulation requirements to add visual interest and massing breaks to project design ATTACHMENT 3D
191
A.
• Ground floor height and transparency requirements for mixed-use projects to promote an active pedestrian streetscape
• Parking design requirements to minimize the appearance and improve the aesthetics of parking garages and areas
To clarify scope, the Draft Ordinance would not:
• Increase height limits
• Increase intensity regulations (such as residential density or Floor Area Ratio) above current approvals and regulations
• Decrease setbacks or stepbacks that control massing, or • Allow new uses that were not previously conditionally permitted Housing Development Project Sites
The Planning Commission requested further context on where projects subject to ODDS could be built in the city. The new Housing Development Permit would replace the Design Permit for Housing Development projects, replacing the subjective findings of the design permit with objective standards.

The new permit and standards would apply to applicable projects in zoning districts that permit Housing Development Projects, which includes projects with two or more units and mixed-use projects where at least two thirds of floor area is dedicated to residential uses as defined by State Law.

Zoning Districts within the City that permit multiple family dwelling units and mixed uses include the SCRO-1 District, the NCRO-2 District, and the R-3 District (outlined in orange in Figure 3).

Housing Development Permits would be required for applicable multiple-family and mixed-use projects in these Districts. The current Municipal Code does not require Design Permits for duplexes, and with the exception of duplexes within the R-3 District, duplexes would also be exempt from the Housing Development Permit.

Figure 3: Applicable Zoning Districts
Illustrations prepared for the Draft Ordinance were based on actual lots within the City of Brisbane to show how new standards would apply to potential projects. For example, Figure 2 above is based ATTACHMENT 3D

on a typical narrow lot (25 in width by 100 feet in depth) along Visitacion Avenue, such as 213 Visitacion Avenue or 18 Visitacion Avenue. Graphics for larger frontages, such as Figure 4 below, would require assembly of approximately 4 narrower lots along Visitacion Avenue.

Figure 4: Illustrative Graphic of Larger Site
Parking
The Planning Commission did not support a reduction in guest parking requirements from 1 space per 5 units to 1 space per 10 units. There was a public comment that the Commission should consider some “middle-ground” reduction in required guest parking. It is up to the discretion of the Commission to make a final recommendation to the City Council on this matter.

Another parking issue for the Commission’s consideration is parking versus storefront area on narrow lots in the NCRO-2 district. As noted in the October 28 staff report, it is infeasible to comply with both parking requirements and minimum required storefront on narrow lots in the NCRO-2 District.

Proposed options were to either eliminate the parking requirement or reduce the minimum storefront size. Given the general discussion on limited parking within Brisbane, it appears the Commission’s direction was to recommend reducing the minimum floor area for storefront use for narrow lots in order to provide as much off-street parking as possible. The draft language below is suggested to meet the Commission’s direction: “The minimum floor area for a storefront use for lots of 30 feet in width or less is two hundred and fifty (250) square feet.”

C. PUBLIC HEARING: Zoning Text Amendment 2021-RZ-2; Various zoning districts; Zoning text amendments to Title 17 of the Brisbane Municipal Code to City of Brisbane to establish objective design and development standards for housing development projects; establish residential density requirements for the NCRO-2 Zoning District; allow multiple family dwellings in the SCRO-1 District by right and multiple family dwellings as part of a mixed use in the NCRO-2 Zoning District by right; reduce guest parking requirements; and establish procedures and requirements for an administrative Housing Development Permit for qualifying housing development projects. City of Brisbane, applicant; Citywide.

Note: This item was continued from the October 28,2021 Planning Commission meeting.

Contract Senior Planner Beggs and project consultants Aaron Aknin and Nicholas Hamilton of Good City gave the staff presentation and clarified the two decision points the Commission must review pertaining to guest parking requirements and storefront floor area, including the distinction between exempting off-street parking when 600 SF of storefront is provided and reducing storefront area to 250 SF (to accommodate the required off-street parking) on narrow lots.

Chairperson Gooding opened the public hearing.

Michele Salmon, Brisbane resident, spoke about the parking issues in Downtown Brisbane and recommended not altering the guest parking requirement and allow smaller storefront floor areas in order to preserve off-street parking requirements. She also had a question about the proposed residential density in the NCRO-2 Downtown Brisbane Neighborhood Commercial District.

Staff clarified that the NCRO-2 District does not currently have a residential density standard; residential uses are a conditionally permitted use and density is set by conditional use permit. The proposed density of 600 SF of lot area per unit - approximately 72 DU/AC - is comparable to past conditional use permit approvals in the NCRO-2 District that ranged between 64 and 87 DU/AC.

With no others wishing to address the Commission, Commissioner Funke moved to close the public hearing. Commissioner Patel seconded the motion and it was approved 5-0.

Director Swiecki informed the Commission that while staff has specifically presented two separate decisions regarding parking and storefront area regulations, the Commission may deliberate and offer recommendations to alter any of the proposed standards and amendments.

After deliberation, Commissioner Funke moved to approve the application via adoption of 2021- UP-3, with the following recommendations on parking:
• No change to the current guest parking regulations (1 space per 5 units); and • Allow storefront areas of 250 SF on lots less than 30 feet wide, maintaining off-street parking requirements.
