Principle issues from the group discussions included: 1) parking: 2) cost of services; 3) downtown relationships; 4) coverage/setbacks; 5) "virgin" development versus infill development; 6) small /high- density projects; 6) renters vs. buyers; and 7) noise. Possible solutions and alternatives included: 1) additional restrictions on and enforcement of on- street parking; 2) place limits on size of units: 3) commissioners can use subjective judgement: 4) change parking requirements; 5) set or increase standards in R -3 and R -4 zones: and 6) license rentals. Some suggested next steps from the groups included: 1) Get the Public involved; 2) solicit input from renters: 3) get good press: 4) appoint a committee; 5) investigate other cities: 6) study on- street parking. A follow -up study session to review these recommendations is tentatively scheduled for May 23.
