Planning Suggestions  Streamline approval process to be no longer than one year  Alter/remove transfer density concept and increase FAR’s correspondingly. Transfer can exist above this new base FAR.  Mandate that all utilities must be captured in the ROW of public streets. No PUE’s in addition to the ROW width.  Allow private parking to occur below public ROW where possible  Allow for above grade parking structures  Provide density bonuses for excellence in environmentally sensitive design and green building.  Raise the standard method base for the purchase of BLTs from 0.5 FAR to 1.0, decrease the percentage from 12.5% to 10%, and set price per BLT so that the cost is predictable.  Offset mechanism to credit costs of on site improvements against other public improvements

Legislative Suggestions  Cordon Line District Traffic Model to Provide Certainty of Development Rights in Return for Funding Infrastructure Improvements  Eliminate the payment of Transportation Impact Fees for WHU’s  Reduce or eliminate parking requirement for MPDU and WHU’s  Modify/Eliminate requirement for WHU’s within the Sector Plan Area.  Allow for the consolidation of the MPDU’s into buildings that are 20% affordable so land owners can access federal tax credits  Allow for affordable housing to be provided off-site within Sector Plan Area  Dramatically decrease parking requirements for retail  Create a County parking district
