2. Comments from February 5 Work Session
• Intensity of Uses on Loop 820 – Combined Freeway and High Intensity Zones; increased heights to 10+
stories
• New Street Types– Clarified lane and parking widths for Main Street, Smithfield, Iron Horse– Crosswalks on Iron Horse as part of future design plans
• Concerns over sea of parking lots– Created Transitional Parking lot standards supporting phased structured
parking with Special Development Plans for more than 50 parking spaces
• Equal treatment for both sides of Davis Boulevard– Arterial frontage requirements set landscape and building setbacks with
limited parking on frontage and building architectural control

2. Comments from February 5 Work Session
• Creating a true Mixed Use District – Concerns over mixed use being a catch phrase for apartment complex– Mixed Use Criteria standards in all character zones– Separated Iron Horse and Smithfield General Mixed Use zones
• Non Conforming Uses and Buildings– Uses
• auto related, outside storage, storage warehouse, heavy manufacturing would become non-conforming uses and not allowed to expand
• Some auto uses could continue on Davis, Mid Cities and Loop 820– Buildings
• Non Conforming Buildings with permitted uses can expand without increasing non conformance
• Historic Smithfield Architectural Review Board– Planning & Zoning Commission serves as Review Board
![Page 10: City Council and P&Z Commission Joint Workshop Discussion of TOD Code April 2, 2009.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649d1a5503460f949f02b9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
