After reviewing and discussing various options, the <br />consensus was to leave the residential land use districts the same as those from the 2030 Land <br />Use Map. The 51% to 80% AMI requirement is achieved through three sites: the surplus units <br />from the TCAAP Town Center, the Medium Density Residential guided land at Parkshore Dr <br />and Old Highway 10, and the land available for redevelopment in the B-2 zoning district. <br /> <br /> <br />Summary <br /> <br />On April 4, 2018, the Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing for the draft 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan. No residents spoke during the public hearing. Following the Public <br />Hearing, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the draft 2040 Comprehensive <br />Plan without any revision to the Plan. The vote was unanimous. <br /> <br />There have been three minor formatting changes to the draft Comprehensive Plan since the <br />March 19 Wok Session. The font size of the heading for Chapter 5 was changed to be consistent, <br />the subheadings in the Housing Chapter were modified to be only the affordable housing issues, <br />and the capitalization of Section 10.5.3 was changed to be consistent with the rest of the Plan. <br /> <br />Neighboring Jurisdictional Review <br />The neighboring communities and affected governing bodies have six months to review the draft <br />Comprehensive Plan. There are some other overlapping review timelines, such as the <br />requirement for local communities to update their local Surface Water Management Plan within <br />one year of a Watershed District updating their Plan. For that reason, the Surface Water <br />Management Plan had been submitted to Rice Creek Watershed District and their comments <br />were received early this month. Staff is still reviewing and analyzing the Rice Creek comments
