Senior Planner McGuire Brigl confirmed the consensus of the Commission to direct the applicant <br />to move forward towards preliminary plat. She noted that this will go forward to the City Council <br />rd <br />on the March 23 agenda. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if the description for parcel B is accurate in the letter submitted. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill commented that it is very common to have this type of <br />description in a metes and bounds division therefore this is accurate. <br /> <br />8. COMMISSION / STAFF INPUT <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer noted that he and Commissioner VanScoy have conflicts with the April meeting <br />date and suggested postponing that meeting by one week. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove noted that the Park and Recreation Commission meets on that night. <br />She suggested moving to the third Thursday. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer noted that he and Commissioner VanScoy have a conflict with that date as well. <br />It was confirmed that the Planning Commission meeting for April would be held the second <br />Thursday in April. He noted that some members of the Commission attended a City Council <br />worksession where a pause on multifamily housing development was discussed for City owned <br />property. He noted that the Commission members expressed concern for the rational in pausing <br />that development when the properties are zoned for that type of development. He stated that <br />perhaps a joint worksession with the Council, EDA, and Planning Commission be held to review <br />the plan for the COR to ensure everyone is on the same page. <br /> <br />The Commission members agreed that it would be helpful to have a joint discussion to discuss the <br />general land use vision of the COR and multifamily housing. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer asked if Councilmembers Musgrove and Woestehoff would be open to making <br />the request to the Council for a joint meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if that would be the only way for this type of joint meeting to <br />occur. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that the multifamily discussion has come forward a few <br />times and therefore he would prefer this be a broader discussion. He noted that staff could bring <br />forward the suggestion for a joint worksession but urged the focus to be on the land use plan for <br />the COR. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove commented that the Council had the discussion related to multifamily <br />housing and indicated support for a pause on that development as well as focusing on attracting <br />retail development to support the residents that have come into the COR. She felt that the minutes <br />from that meeting reflect that direction. She commented that a lot of rooftops have been added <br />and the Council wants to focus more on bringing businesses to support the needs of those residents. <br /> <br /> <br />Planning Commission/ March 4, 2021 <br />Page 14 of 16 <br /> <br />
