Finance Director Jerilyn Erickson presented the proposed tax levy and budget. The total tax levy is $29,948,890 and represents a 6.95% increase over 2018. Ms. Erickson provided information regarding the impacts of new residential construction on market values. The estimated tax impact on the median valued home ($307,400) is an increase of $75. This takes into account the market value increase as well as a reduction in the tax capacity rate. Commercial property valued at approximately $1 million will see a decrease of about $1,212 because of a decrease in market value. Property taxes comprise about 73/0 of the revenue for the City's general fund. Ms. Erickson stated General Fund reserves are used for long term capital purchases such as equipment, park improvements, ordinance updates and park maintenance projects. Expenses total about $29 million, with public safety operations comprising about 47%. The General Fund includes new positions or position changes in 2019 for police and the arts center.

Southfork West PUD Rezoning Michael Margulies of Valerian LLC requested Council approval of an ordinance rezoning the west part of the Southfork 1 st Addition from C-3 to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The building was previously occupied by Schneiderman's Furniture. The rezoning is being requested to accommodate reuse of the building by multiple tenants, which has a higher parking requirement than a furniture warehouse/showroom. Planning Director Daryl Morey presented the staff report for Southfork West. He explained that rezoning the property to PUD and restricting the permitted uses would allow viable reuse of the building while still meeting on-site parking demand. The PUD ordinance establishes the permitted uses and performance standards. Higher parking demand uses, such as restaurants, would not be allowed. School District 194 is proposing to occupy two of the tenant spaces for its district offices, meeting rooms and community education. The ordinance requires approval of an administrative permit with City Council Meeting Minutes, December 3, 2018 Page 5 any change in occupancy of the building. It also requires a minimum of 215 off-street parking spaces by June 30, 2019. Mayor Anderson referenced the list of permitted uses in the ordinance and questioned whether funeral homes and mortuaries are appropriate uses given their demand for parking. It was suggested that funeral homes and mortuaries could be classified as conditional uses, rather than permitted uses. Council Member Hellier suggested pawnshops and sexually oriented uses should also be classified as conditional uses. Council members discussed the list of permitted uses. Mr. Morey explained that the administrative permit process ensures the availability of off-street parking to meet the peak parking demands of the building tenants. If on -street parking becomes a safety concern, the City Council can designate no parking on the street. Motion was made by Wheeler, seconded by Davis, to adopt findings of fact and Ordinance No. 1006 establishing a Planned Unit Development District for the west part of Southfork 1 st Addition. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Davis, Anderson, Wheeler, LaBeau Nay - Hellier Motion was made by Davis, seconded by Wheeler, to adopt Summary Ordinance No. 1006 for publication. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Anderson, Wheeler, Hellier, LaBeau, Davis 13. Unfinished business: None 14. New business: None 15.
