Staff frames Main Street design priorities as commission reviews possible findings
Summary
Community Development Director Michael Henke presented staff analysis linking proposed Main Street commercial standards to the 2023 Midway City General Plan; the commission instructed staff to draft ordinance language for further review.
Community Development Director Michael Henke presented the liaison report and staff analysis recommending that the proposed amendments to Section 16.05 for Commercial C-2 and C-3 support the city's 2023 General Plan goals for a walkable, vibrant Main Street. The staff analysis identified potential benefits including increased setbacks, added landscaping, clearer building design standards and limits on impervious surfaces to promote green space and reduce urban heat retention.
Andrew Osborne, the City Council Liaison, encouraged the Planning Commission to review successful planning and design approaches used by other communities while preserving Midway's character as the city grows. Following the presentation and public liaison comment, commissioners voted to consider the code amendment and directed staff to prepare draft ordinance language and findings for subsequent hearings.
