Attachment F: March 25, 2026 PTC Comments on the Draft Ordinance and Staff Responses
This table identifies specific issues where the PTC requested further consideration and provides staff’s responses, including changes to the draft ordinance in Attachment A.
PTC Comments Changes to Draft Ordinance
Ch. 18.30(A) & Ch. 18.30(C):
Contemplation about which types of
medical office uses might be appropriate
on California and University Avenues;
ultimately, the PTC deferred to the City
Council which types of medical and
medical office uses may be appropriate.
For further discussion by the City
Council. See discussion in the staff
report for options and staff
recommendations regarding medical
offices.
Ch. 18.52: Concerns about streamlining
office parking ratios across districts.
Removed proposed changes to office
parking ratios.
Ch. 18.38: Concerns about effects that
allowing flexibility in Planned
Communities (PC) zones could have on
community benefits.
Specified that uses identified as being
part of the PC’s community benefit (e.g.,
grocery store) are excluded from being
changed to a similar use.
Ch. 16.59: Concerns about small retail
additions piecemealing development
proposals to avoid impact fees.
No change proposed since this is not
anticipated to be a major issue, but
would require staff resources to track. If
the Council would like to regulate
piecemealing, the ordinance could
include a trigger date (e.g., as of May 1,
2026).
Ch. 18.40.180: Remove retail
preservation modifications to the ROLM
and GM-zoned parcels in the San
Antonio Road corridor; allow the San
Antonio Road Area Plan to determine
appropriate regulations in that location.
Revised retail preservation exemptions
to exclude parcels within the San
Antonio Road Area Plan area, while that
planning effort is still underway.
Various Sections: Minor edits and
clarifications to definitions, standards for
alcohol sales and service, and other
zoning text.
Revised.
