2. Ordinance Adopting Planned Action EIS for Downtown Subarea Ptan
Community Development Director Bond explained in May, staff walked Council through the final
subarea plan with the intention for adoption on May 25th; however, we were also working on drafting
the planned action ElS. We pulled the subarea plan off the meeting because we wanted to verify
consistencies. Next week, we plan on bringing you the ordinance to adopt the subarea plan,
immediately followed by this ordinance.
This is a process allowed in State law, where we are essentially doing our environmental review for
a certain level of permitting activity within a defined boundary of our City. ln this case, the boundary
matches what was in the subarea plan for downtown.
ln this document, there is a little bit of an alternative for you to consider. We have put it forward in
a format that is our recommendation. We received a grant to both develop the plan and to try and

move the needle on housing supply and housing affordability. Part of our overall grant was about
increasing housing supply. lf you look at the documents, there were two alternatives considered and
our EIS had three alternatives with one of them being no action, which is no change. Alternative 1 is
the mixed-use focus, and Alternative 2 is the residential focus.
Furthermore, he discussed each alternative and noted this ordinance is only valid for lO-years with
a review in 8-years, ordinance recommendations, planned action and specific mitigation, and minor
code changes.
Additional discussion was held regarding frontage improvements, residential units and demand, and
County Courthouse development.
Council Direction: No direction was given to staff.

This item was removed from the agenda.
Council Direction: No direction was given to staff.
4. City Hall Reskin
Mayor Putaansuu provided a presentation regarding adding solar panels to City Hall as part of the
City Hall Reskin project. He showed several options of how the panels would be displayed. The first
option would be a L600 square foot solar array that would produce 2O to 25 percent of our peak
demand in electricity and would cover a portion of parking stalls located in front of the Police
department. The panels would not cover City Hall. The second option is a 3200 square foot solar
arrav, which would produce 40 to 50 percent of our peak demand and would cover the parking stalls
including the building located behind the stalls in front of the Police department. The last option
would be to add another 1600 square feet, which would cover additional parking and would produce
75 percent of our peak demand.
A brief discussion was held regarding the different options, pricing and payback, landscaping, and
maintenance.
