ITEM 4d. Resolutions and Motions:
ITEM4d(1) SOLID WASTE CONTAINERS - RESOLUTION AMENDING THE
PERMIT SYSTEM FOR SOLID WASTE CONTAINERS IN THE
�� 7 DOWNTOWN ALLEYS BY EXTENDING THE TERM OF THE PERMITS
TO MARCH 31, 2017.
Comment: Under the current permit system for solid waste containers
(aka, dumpsters), any hauler may place a container in a downtown public
alley upon obtaining a permit from the City. Staff has issued an RFP to
limit the number of haulers in the downtown alleys but has not selected a
hauler. Because staff had anticipated that the single hauler would begin
Jan. 1, 2017, the permits under the current system expire Dec. 31. Staff
anticipates that a permitting system for the single hauler will be on
Council's agenda in January. This resolution extends the terms of all
current permits to March 31 with no additional fee.
ITEM 4d(2) SIDEWALK CAFES - RESOLUTION ADOPTING A POLICY FOR USE
OF PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR SIDEWALK CAFES AND
RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 12-435.
3 e Comment: As a result of the streetscape project, staff recommends that
cafes on Washington Street be reconfigured necessitating two changes to
the sidewalk cafe policy. One, because the new sidewalks are wider, the
cafes on Washington Street should be detached from the building face to
promote a better retail environment and to provide consistency in travel
path currently. The current policy requires cafes to be located no closer
than 3 feet from the curb, and this should be decreased to 2 feet, except
for unique circumstances. Two, to avoid drilling holes into the new
concrete, cafes on Washington Street should not be allowed to anchor
their fencing into the concrete in 2017. The primary reason for the current
policy that requires anchored fencing is to prevent "cafe creep." If the
non -anchored fencing proves unsuccessful in 2017, staff may require the
Washington Street cafes to be anchored beginning in the 2018 season.
No other changes are being made to the policy.

Comment: On July 27, 2015 the City entered into a Development
Agreement with CASL Holdings, LLC for the sale of city property at the
corner of Court and Linn Streets and development thereon of a mixed-use
project consisting of 2 buildings housing a hotel, office space, retail and
apartments with a construction cost of approximately $74 million. The First
Amendment to the Development Agreement extended the dates for closing
and start of construction. The sale closed on June 1, 2016 and demolition
has begun. Because the property has been submitted to a horizontal
property regime (condominiums) and there will be separate owners and
lenders for the 15 -story Residential Building and the 14 -story Hotel
Building, the Developer has requested this Second Amendment in order to
allocate the responsibilities of the Agreement to either the residential
Owner or the Hotel Owner. The Amendment also approves a slight
variation to the unit mix and clarifies that while the 33 affordable units must
be one bedroom units the remainder of the 125 "one -bedroom" units may
be one bedroom or studio apartments at the Developer's discretion.

evaluated and scored by staff who determined that the proposal submitted
