2008 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update
Staff updated the Planning Commission regarding the comments that were received during the
second round of neighborhood meetings that were held in October and November of 2007. The
majority of the comments. received during this round of neighborhood district meetings were
submitted in writing. Staff reviewed with the Planning Commission fhe written .requests and
.comments received by the City regarding the draft 2030 Future Land Use Map and draft 2030
• MUSA Staging Plan.
. Tim Boatman representing Cities Properties LLC was present at the work session and explained
the current status of his property located at the southwest corner of Dodd Boulevard and 175tH
Street. Mr. Boatman requested the area currently designated for Commercial on the 2020 Land
Use Plan be maintained and potentially expanded to the south to the 'future 179t" Street
extension. The Planning. Commission discussed the proposed land uses and directed staff to
revise the area designated for Commercial to Office/Residential Transition on the proposed
2030 Land Use Plan to provide the property owner and the City the flexibility in the future for the
area to develop either for residential or limited commercial uses.. The Planning Commission did
not recommend extending the Commercial designation to the future 179th Street extension.
The Planning Commission reviewed the remaining proposed land use changes received at the
neighborhood district meetings or submitted in writing and agreed with staff's recommendations
as outlined in the November 30, 2007 work session memo. Staff further indicated that the
Brown property was designated for aLow/Medium Density Residential land .use in the 1988
Comprehensive Plan and subsequently revised to an Office land use with, the 1998
Comprehensive Plan Update. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update proposes the
Low/Medium Density Residential Land Use designation of the 1988 Comprehensive Plan.
Staff also presented to the Planning Commission information comparing. the existing 2020
Comprehensive Land Use Plan with the proposed 2030 Comprehensive Land Use Plan
regarding land use category changes and residential densities.
• Staff indicated that .the next steps in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan update would be to
schedule a work session with the City Council to review the Planning Commission's
.recommendations. Following the City Council work session a final preliminary draft of the plan
will be prepare and reviewed of a public hearing during a Planning Commission meeting likely in
February 2008.
