Public Engagement The overall land use concept consisting of a mix of residential, business park, and retail was the result of extensive, collaborative public engagement dating back to 2013. While the boundaries have adjusted, Staff believes the underlying concept is retained through the current amendment. A public comment summary is attached for the City Council's review. At the Public Hearing, a question was raised about the wetland area between the Hageman Holdings site and the residential subdivision to the north. The resident in attendance found the response that areas were protected by the wetland protection act acting as a buffer between future development and existing development. This comment underscores a consistent comment Staff receives from this area regarding a desire to create and protect a greenway corridor in the area. Staff recommends that this topic be evaluated as part of the Comprehensive Plan Update as an area of potential protection above and beyond the wetland protection act. Alternatives 1. Approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendment as presented. 2. Postpone a decision and seek additional, more detailed information. 3. Do not approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and leave future land uses planned as is. Funding Source: This case is being handled as part of normal Staff duties. Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #17-02-040 granting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for portions of the Armstrong West area.
