After receiving staffs presentation <br />and the recommendation from the Planning Commission on this matter, the City Council continued <br />the public hearing for further clarifications regarding the boundaries of the Transit Zoning Code <br />(TZC),where the proposed changes are applicable, the decision -making and review process for <br />development projects within the TZC, and the proposed parking options and changes within the <br />TZC. <br />The TZC was adopted by the City Council on June 7, 2010. As a form -based code, the TZC <br />regulates the physical form of development projects and buildings affecting the public realm in <br />addition to traditional zoning regulations relating to uses, parking, and setbacks. Since its adoption <br />in 2010, the TZC regulations have not achieved the overarching goals of integrating new <br />development and the rehabilitation of existing structures in the zoning district, and have not <br />stimulated significant new developments within the TZC zoning district. Feedback from the <br />development community over the years indicates that the existing regulations are not practical and <br />at times, prohibitive in an existing environment with small parcels having limited frontage and depth. <br />75A-1 <br />
