PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
FILE NO.: LU13-02
(DECEMBER 12, 2013)
Walter Malone, Planning Staff reviewed the package of Land Use Plan change areas.
Mr. Aaron Glazier, spoke about the changes in Area 10. He lives in the area shown as
'A' and agrees with the proposed change for that area. He also agrees with the change
proposed for the 'B' area but is opposed to the change in the 'C' area. He believes that
the area should not have an increase in density.
Mr. Glazier and a neighbor circulated a petition against the change in Area 'C'. All
those available to sign, agreed that the densification should not be made. (A copy of
the petition against the change to Area 10C was presented to the Commission.)
There was a discussion about the 'A' area with Chairmen Rector and and how the area
could have been developed with a different designation. Chairman Rector reviewed
zoning versus Land Use with Mr. Glazier and what the potential uses with a Medium
Density designation might be. Mr. Rector noted that the land in area 'C' is zoned
single-family and a rezoning would have to occur for anything other than single family to
be built on that land.
There was discussion about voting on the 'package' and pulling the area 10C out
separately. Tony Bozynski, Director Planning and Development, indicated that in cases
like this the sub -area in question had been voted on separately.
Ruth Bell, League of Women Voters, stated that today's discussion reconfirmed that
more publicity is better to help everyone understand. She recommended pulling area
10C out for a separate vote.
There was further discussion about area '10C': it is zoned single-family and a rezoning
would have to occur for more than a single family house to be allowed on the land. The
likely rezoning of this land would be a Planned Zoning District rather than MF6 or MF12,
if it is developed at the Medium Density level. Commissioner Nunnley indicated he
agreed there would be enough 'safe guards' in place if the area was shown for
Residential Medium Density. Several Commissioners expressed a desire to allow time
for Staff and the neighborhood to meet to discuss the issues. A motion was made to
defer LU13-02-10C to January 30, 2014 (Fountain, Finney). By a vote of 7 for, 1 against,
2 absent and one open position the motion was approved.
Commissioner Nunnley asked about the change to Commercial along Stagecoach
Road with a change next to it for Public Institutional (LU13-02-02B and LU13-02-02C).
Mr. Nunnley asked about a retail use selling alcohol next to a church. There was some
discussion about this. Commission Brock indicated the church was no longer
functioning and the land was for sale. After some additional discussion a motion was
made to remove LU13-02-02B —Mixed Office Commercial to Public Institutional from the
package (Nunnley, Dillion). By a vote of 8 for, 0 against, 2 absent, 1 open position the
