Code of Ordinances, clarifying requirements for on-site retail sales or services in commercial industrial multifamily developments, CIMDs, by amending Section 281642 to create a definition of retail sales or services that specifically excludes gyms or fitness centers and tutoring establishments, or uses similar to either of those, and by amending Section 281644 to set forth minimum requirements for such retail sales or services uses in CIMDs be independent operations that provide for public accessibility, including by separate ground floor pedestrian entrance from outdoors with exterior business identification, that such businesses publicly advertise and market, and that any change of use be reviewed by the city to ensure any requirement for on-site retail sales or services uses continues to be satisfied, providing for serverability, providing for repealer, providing for codification, providing an effective date.

Thank you.

With that, I'll turn it over to our planning director, Mr.

Scheid.

Good evening, uh Chairman and Board Members, Brain the Chad Development Services Director.

As mentioned, this is a proposed ordinance that pertains to the commercial industrial multifamily development uh type of projects.

I'm going to turn the sound off my computer.

I apologize for that.

Um, which is a city program that was passed last year related to affordable housing, and this is a clarification of a requirement regarding retail sales and services that I'll get into.

A little bit of history on February 13th of 2024, the City Council uh adopted ordinance number 5684 that uh establish the commercial industrial multifamily development or CIMD allowances.

Essentially the that allows multifamily residential development in portions of the city that have a future land use designation of planned mobility in zoning districts in which residential development is not normally allowed for the purpose of providing affordable housing.

Under this program, 10 percent of uh the units that are allowed must be affordable as that term is defined by statute.

That is up to 120 percent of the area median income, which depends on household size.

Um there is additionally an additional um density that is allowed under this program from uh maximum of 20 units an acre increased to a maximum of 25 units per acre if an additional 5 percent of the units are provided as workforce, and that is up to 140 percent of the area median income per household.

Recently, on October 28th, 2025, um ordinance number 5753 was adopted, and a number of you were here and made a recommendation on that uh ordinance.

That ensures that non-residential requirements um related to the CIMD program can be met by a combination of on-site and off-site non-residential uses.
