Page 1 of 2 DATE: February 4, 2015 TO: Planning Commission Chair Thompson and Commissioners FROM: Jill Hutmacher, Community Development Director SUBJECT: TCAAP Update The City Council has been continuing to meet weekly to discuss the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC). The final draft of the TRC will be presented to the City Council at a work session on February 2, 2015. Over the past several weeks, the City has been working with its consultants to revise the draft land use map to reflect the Spine Road realignment and City Council direction regarding land uses. Key points to consider regarding the revised land use map (attached) are: • As additional data is developed, the exact acreage of development areas is fluctuating slightly. This affects the estimate of maximum residential units. Parcel sizes are expected to continue to fluctuate slightly until a final land use map is approved. • Please note that the size of development areas shown on the map excludes collector right-of-way. The size of districts/subzones on Table 1.0 below includes collector right-of-way since the City has defined gross density to include right-of- way. • The Town Center and retail areas have been reconfigured to allow for parcel shapes and sizes that can be more easily developed. The Town Center retail area will be increased slightly in size to better accommodate retail uses. This will decrease the Town Center residential area by approximately 0.3 acres which is not currently reflected on the draft land use map or Table 1.0. • The Town Center green space has been reshaped to allow a continuous green space from the retail area through the Town Center. Diagonal parking in front of the retail areas along the east/west connector would provide convenient parking for those businesses. • A legend will be added to the next draft which provides labels for each of the land use categories.
