Chairperson Nixt replied that if there is not a traffic oUtlet for the new development to an arterial <br />street to keep the majority of the traffic out of the exiting neighborhood, then there would be a <br />substantial increase in traffic flow through the existing neighborhood. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson inquired if staff had definitions of what would be considered the types of <br />streets the Charter amendment is referring to. <br />Community Development Director Frolik replied that City Code and the Comprehensive Plan <br />include street classifications. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson suggested including that concept into this ordinance. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson recommended changing the wording in Subdivision 4 sixth line down <br />from reading "...existing property" to "...existing platted development", and add to the second b. <br />in Subdivision 1 the following language: "Provided however that any residential use must <br />comply with the most restrictive setback and screening requirements between the current zoning <br />and the proposed zoning" <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt inquired as to how that requirement would be tracked. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik replied that it could be done with contract rezoning. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kociscak stated that he would prefer to have the second b., from Subdivision 1, <br />deleted from the ordinance. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Reeve, to recommend that City <br />Council adopt the proposed density transition ordinance with the amendments as recommended <br />by Commissioner Johnson. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Chairperson Nixt stated that he did not agree with the amendment that was <br />made to the second b of Subdivision 1 to exempt commercial property that is rezoned to <br />residential, but would vote in favor of the motion in order to move the process along. <br /> <br />Motion Carried.
