<br />Planning Commission Work -Study Session
<br />On March 25, 2019, staff held a work-study session with the Planning Commission to review the
<br />proposed amendments and solicit feedback. The Planning Commission did not express any
<br />concerns or changes to the proposed amendments but asked questions to clarify parking
<br />requirements, floor area ratio (FAR), and encouraged staff to publicize the amendments. Because
<br />the code amendment has a broader impact, the proposed project was noticed in the Orange
<br />County Register which has a wider distribution than the Orange County Recorder which is the
<br />City's standard method of notification. In addition, the Downtown and Lacy Neighborhood
<br />Association representatives were contacted to inform them of the proposed amendments.
