COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: REZONING OF 3.09 ACRES IN 100-200 BLOCK OF KELLOGG AVENUE
CORRIDOR FROM HIGHWAY-ORIENTED COMMERCIAL (HOC) TO
DOWNTOWN SERVICES CENTER (DSC)
BACKGROUND
On March 1, 2011, the City Council considered a proposal for rezoning all properties in the
100 and 200 blocks of Kellogg Avenue from Highway-Oriented Commercial (HOC) to
Downtown Services Center (DSC). (See Attachment A: Location Map.) After a public
hearing, the City Council directed staff to:
• Report on the background of the requirement in the DSC zoning district that all
buildings be at least two stories in height; and,
• Reduce the area for the proposed rezoning by removing the property addressed as
203 Kellogg.
A separate staff report has been provided to the City Council on the minimum height
requirement.
A new rezoning ordinance has been prepared for an area that excludes the property at 203
Kellogg. (See Attachment B: Current and Proposed Zoning Map)
In conjunction with this action, Council may also desire to extend the downtown fagade
improvement program to the subject area, as well as to amend the boundaries for the
Downtown Facade Improvement Grant program to include the subject properties on the
100 and 200 blocks of Kellogg Avenue with the exception of 203 Kellogg.
The question of building height applies to the entire downtown and should be considered
more broadly than review of a single street. If the Council wishes to amend the height
standards, that should be done under a separate action.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can (a) approve rezoning of the properties along both sides of
Kellogg Avenue between the Union Pacific Railroad and Lincoln Way from Highway-
Oriented Commercial to Downtown Services Center, (b) set June 14, 2011 as the
public hearing date for a revision to the Downtown Urban Revitalization Area to
include this area, and (c) direct staff to amend the boundaries for the Downtown
Fagade Improvement Grant program to include this area.
2. The City Council can defer action on the rezone pending Council deliberation on the
1
question of minimum building heights in the downtown.
3. The City Council can deny the rezoning of the properties along both sides of Kellogg
Avenue between the Union Pacific Railroad and Lincoln Way, leaving it Highway-
Oriented Commercial.
4. The City Council can refer this request back to staff for more information.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The proposed rezoning will implement Council's recent change to the Land Use Policy Plan
map designating this area appropriate for Downtown Service Center zoning. The
Downtown Services Center zone will help preserve existing characteristics that are similar
to the Downtown north of the railroad, and that are also consistent with the Downtown
Fagade Improvement Program. It will also guide new infill development and
redevelopment in a way that is more consistent with the downtown area,which should lead
to incremental change over time. This will provide an incentive for redevelopment that
improves Kellogg Avenue as a traditional retail block and as an entrance to the Downtown.
In conjunction with this rezoning, it would also be appropriate to extend the downtown
facade improvement program to this area. This requires revising the list of approved areas
for the Downtown Urban Revitalization Program and for the Downtown Fagade
Improvement Grant.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative #1, thereby (a) approving rezoning of the designated properties along both
sides of Kellogg Avenue between the Union Pacific Railroad and Lincoln Way from
Highway-Oriented Commercial to Downtown Services Center based on the above
conclusions, (b) setting June 14, 2011 as the public hearing date for a revision to the
Downtown Urban Revitalization Area to include this area, and (c) directing staff to amend
the boundaries forthe Downtown Fagade Improvement Grant program to include this area.
