Vice Chairperson VanScoy asked how many units per acre would be allowed within the Medium Density Residential District. Community Development Director Gladhill commented four to seven units per acre would be allowed in MDR. He reported staff did not support an MDR zoning for these parcels. Commissioner Anderson stated the residents surrounding this property do not support a rezoning to MDR. He encouraged the City to keep the parcels zoned R-1. Commissioner Woestehoff agreed. Commissioner Surma stated he believed improvements were needed along Alpine Drive especially if these parcels are to develop in the near future. Community Development Director Gladhill commented the City was aware of the need to make improvements to Alpine Drive to improve safety. He discussed a project the City Council would be considering at their next meeting that would bring about improvements at Alpine Drive and Armstrong Boulevard. He understood that safety improvements were needed given the increasing level of traffic along Alpine Drive. Vice Chairperson VanScoy expressed concern with the transition or buffer language the City had in place. He stated he did not support changing the zoning of the parcels and recommended the parcels remain R-1 MUSA. Community Development Director Gladhill thanked the Commission for their feedback and noted the consensus was to keep the zoning for these parcels R-1. Northfork Development Parcel: Community Development Director Gladhill commented the proposal for the Northfork parcel was to go to R-2 medium density zoning and noted this parcel was outside the MUSA. He provided further comment on the adjacent developments and noted the Northfork Golf Course neighborhood opposed the rezoning of this parcel. Commissioner Anderson stated he would like to hear from the Northfork Golf Course residents regarding their concerns. Vice Chairperson VanScoy requested further information on the proposed plans for the Northfork site. Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the proposed plans with the Commission. Vice Chairperson VanScoy commented that screening would be very important for a development on this parcel.
