Agenda - Planning Commission - 09/29/2022

Home

This review is being done through staffs normal course of duties. Recommendation: Staff is recommending streamlining the Zoning Code use categories. With direction from the Planning Commission, staff will develop these concepts further and bring back a draft at a future meeting. 1. Business districts --create various districts based on changes in intensity. The least intense contain those uses that would be good residential neighbors with the most intense having manufacturing and outdoor operations. 2. Adjust the residential districts to align density with the Comprehensive Plan and to eliminate confusion about the four subdistricts of R-1. 3. Create use tables and performance standard tables to easily see uses across multiple districts and ensure consistency. 4. Provide clarity to the public zoning districts acknowledging the specialized nature of government, schools, parks, and the landfill. 4. Introduce an Urban Reserve district to use the staging plan to acknowledge that some properties will develop with urban services, but are several years away from getting utility access. This allows for reasonable use of properties in the short term without precluding development from occurring when it is time. Action: Provide direction on the number and nature of the various zoning districts the Commission would like to see. Staff will go back and start to develop use tables based on the direction of the Commission. There is likely going to be follow-up discussion on particular uses and where they should go as well as more discussion of Mixed Use zoning districts.
