City Attorney Goodrich inquired if the City would be dealing with a specific developer at that <br />point. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen replied that the City has done a number of "spot land use changes" <br />with an anticipation that they would be developed a certain way, but the land use designations <br />are typically very broad categories and some things might be acceptable and others may not. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich stated that the developer would be the landowner and the Council could <br />state that they will not approve the Comprehensive Plan designation unless they develop it a <br />certain way. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he wants to try to alleviate a possible problem where a <br />person might request a land use based on a certain plan and then once they receive the land use <br />they do something different. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich replied that the key to everything is to get it in writing. At the <br />Comprehensive Plan level if a developer comes forward with a plan for high density residential <br />for a townhome development it seems that the City could use the same type of concept with <br />contract zoning. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that the Council recently passed 14 amendments that were <br />basically "spot rezoning". <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak replied that those amendments were in process since August and they <br />were put in a statutory time frame on December 2002, to pass the Comprehensive Plan and when <br />the Plan was adopted it was passed with the expressed intention of bringing those amendments <br />forward. It was not the same as asking for a rezoning change. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich stated that if there is a developer asking for a particular comprehensive <br />plan designation and if the Council feels the particular land use is appropriate for a certain type <br />of development, he felt that the City could draft a contract holding the developer to what they <br />agreed to do on the site and meeting those conditions. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec inquired if a developer presents a plan and a development agreement is agreed to, <br />what difference would there be to the conditional rezoning. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich explained that if a developer comes in with a general development plan <br />for a gas station and then they change their mind to place a different use on the property, they <br />would be unable to do so with conditional rezoning. <br /> <br />Councihnember Kurak inquired if the Town Center Task Force had begun working on the zoning <br />district for mixed use. <br /> <br />Principal Planner Trudgeon replied that the Task Force met last Thursday and reviewed the <br />conceptual fi'amework where there would be three subdistricts within the mixed-use designation. <br /> <br />City Council/May 28, 2002 <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
