Senior Planner Gladhill stated the zoning does not deal with how the ditches are maintained; that <br />is separate from the zoning discussion. Concerns with public ditches would be worked through <br />Public Works and the right -of -way ordinance. <br />Lonnie Gray, 17530 Nowthen Blvd., asked the difference between R -1 Residential MUSA and <br />R -1 Residential Rural Developing. He also asked how the change would affect property taxes. <br />Senior Planner Gladhill stated there are two categories for residential zoning. They are R -1 <br />Residential MUSA, or R -1 Residential Rural Developing. The rural is larger sizes and MUSA is <br />smaller sewered lots. The property tax question would need to be directed to the county assessor. <br />Commissioner Brauer stated that the County Assessor determines the property values. The city <br />has no control over the property taxes. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the definitions of MUSA and rural developing. <br />Senior Planner Gladhill stated that he would contact the county assessor and get information on <br />how taxes could be affected by the change. <br />Merlin Hunt, 17860 Nowthen Blvd., complimented the staff on the work done on the zoning <br />changes, it doesn't confiscate property, and it allows people to develop if they want to. This <br />ordinance applies the code in a fair way. <br />Jim Plowman, 6810 Green Valley Road, stated his zoning is becoming B -1 and he is requesting a <br />tax abatement until it becomes a business. <br />Senior Planner Gladhill stated this is one of the areas that he is requesting to wait to be amended <br />to see if this is one that should remain business. His recommendation is to take this off the <br />current map and then work with the property owners to see if a Comprehensive Plan amendment <br />should go forward. <br />Keith Kiefer, 6203 Rivlyn Ave, stated he thinks the property held by Hope Fellowship and Al <br />Pearson should not be rezoned to residential and is best suited for business. He thinks the city <br />has a conflict of interest in rezoning this to residential seeing how much land they own that is <br />zoned business and commercial. <br />Senior Planner Gladhill stated he has been working with Hope Fellowship regarding their site <br />and thinks they will come up with a mutual agreeable solution. <br />Al Pearson, 14821 Bowers Drive, stated the question he has is on the 90 acres adjacent to the <br />proposed Legacy development and what the zoning is now and how it will change. <br />Senior Planner Gladhill stated it is a shifting of residential type uses, so a shifting of low density <br />to medium and a small portion of high density. <br />Mr. Pearson stated that if changes are good for the city, then the changes are good for him. <br />Planning Commission/March 3, 2011 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />
