Mayor Gamec stated that if we want a bridge, this is the site we would prefer to have. <br />That means we or the County will have to purchase that. He noted the yellow area and <br />asked how we would handle that. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that we have discussed transitional zoning and how to <br />buffer existing development from higher new development density; this area was missed. <br />Maybe we need language that says there may be land that was missed. <br /> <br />It was asked could we include it in the quasi-public intent. <br /> <br />Another issue was a way to discuss transitional housing that has been increasing, plus <br />ways to border things such as bridges. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen commented on a bridge in that area and a buffer - also with <br />having some potential uses but still having a buffer. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec asked how do we get that into words. <br /> <br />Ms. Sherman stated that if Council recalls, we talked about transition density - redone to <br />three units per acre and mixed at five units. The language between urban, rural <br />residential, transition and mixed residential are very similar. We see a transition in any <br />of our districts. You just do something to buffer that. That's what we see happening as <br />an implementation tool to the plan. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that if there is similar language in the mixed <br />residential, then he would like to see it. He noted there have been times in the City when <br />he is not comfortable in relying totally on staff- staff changes. If the language says that <br />in mixed residential we will have buffering, then he would be satisfied with that. <br /> <br />Ms. Sherman noted Page V-18, #6, states that new development that's adjacent to <br />existing large lot development...she read it. It calls for transitional, plus we call for it to <br />be a P.U.D. so we have control. P.U.D. is the tool we say that will help focus <br />developments more than with regular zoning. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson asked what about the bridge corridor. <br /> <br />Ms. Sherman responded that we did not designate that corridor because we did not want <br />to be prepared to buy it. <br /> <br />Councilmelnber Haas Steffen stated that if we do not designate anything tonight, but we <br />just draw the line, we still have time in the future to do more. <br /> <br />Attorney Goodrich agreed that you can amend the comprehensive plan any time. <br /> <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen stated we could add to quasi public that it includes a <br />bridge. <br /> <br />Special City Council/March 30, 1999 <br /> Page 8 of 15 <br /> <br /> <br />
