Absent: Kevin Kenney, Whit Wagner, Roger Thomas, Tim Stowe, June Wilmot
Staff: Candice Perkins
Applicant: Patrick Sowers
Item 1: Revisions to the TNDB Overlay District. Discussion on potential revisions to the
Traditional Neighborhood District Business (TNDB) Overlay District.
Staff provided an overview of the existing ordinance and the applicant’s request. Patrick
Sowers provided an overview of the developer that is requesting to utilize the TNDB overlay on
the Orrick Property. They are looking at doing the TNDB with an allowance to have residential
on the first floor.
The DRRC stated that at work session there were concerns about taking commercial and using it
for residential. The applicant stated that it is not their intent to take away from the commercial.
This will need to go through the proffer and rezoning process and the details will need to be
proffered.
The DDRC stated that at the worksession this item was not supported and that the text has not
been changed substantially from the workession text. The DRRC discussed the potential for a
time trigger to convert to residential back to commercial, but felt that would not work. DRRC
members also stated that it’s not easy to convert from residential back to commercial, and felt
that once it was residential it would never be converted to commercial uses.
The DRRC was more amendable to seeing the applicant going through the RP district and asking
for modifications and doing a stacked flat housing type.
Meeting Adjourned at 7:30pm.
