re: LU09-02C, Community Shopping to Commercial
Dear Mr. Whisenhunt,
The Department of Planning and Development has been in the process of reviewing the
Land Use Plan for the area in and around your property. The proposed changes are a
result of discussions and review by city staff. A small portion (see attached map) of
your property is currently shown as Community Shopping. This category provides for
shopping center development with one or more general merchandise stores. There is a
proposal to modify the future land use plan to remove the Community Shopping
category and to rename all properties currently shown as Community Shopping to
Commercial. These two categories are virtually the same, so staff is proposing to
combine all properties previously shown as Community Shopping into the Commercial
land use category. The commercial category includes a broad range of retail and
wholesale sales of products, personal and professional services, and general business
activities. A change to the Land Use Plan does not change your zoning or taxes.
Please contact us indicating your wishes to the address above before December 1,
2009. If no response is given, the planning staff will view this as an acceptance of the
change in the Land Use Plan category. The change will then be taken before the
Planning Commission and later to the Board of Directors. Any questions can be
directed to Eve Jorgensen at 371-4790.
Sincerely,
Eve J rg Sen
Planner
