He also suggested that densities are lowered for now until <br />we know whatÓs going on with downtown, noting that the 12-30 units/acre is still high. <br /> <br />Chari Krueger opened the public hearing on Amendments to City Code, Chapter 156, Zoning Code <br />156.051 (Mixed Use District, (M-1) & 156.052, Mixed Use District (M-2) and Downtown Master <br />Plan and Development Guidelines was opened at 7: 50p.m. <br /> <br />Public Hearing Comments <br />Linda Broussard at 6756 Centerville Road. <br /> <br />She provided background information stating that the goal was to get to 5,000 people and the entire vision <br />for downtown involved being redeveloped. She noted that at that time, development was booming and <br />there were discussions about municipal parking and discussions about becoming a mini-Stillwater and <br />for her the goal has not changed. Ms. Broussard noted that she thinks getting the documents aligned is <br />important; she also thinks that the goal of getting to 5,000 people should be evaluated, noting the financial <br />benefits of getting to 5,000 people. Ms. Broussard added that the community will not get to 5,000 people <br />until the property she lives on is redeveloped. She said that she has lived here for over 30 years and hopes <br />to live here for a long time. Ms. Broussard said that she does not think we need more commercial <br />anymore. Ms. Broussard noted that the architectural standards that we have are expensive and difficult <br />for developers, adding that she thinks we spend a lot of time trying to get things to work when we could <br />just rezone residential. Ms. Broussard noted that she does not think we have moved past the vision in a <br />way that has changed what we are now, considering what is across the freeway from us; she questions <br />whether people want this anymore. Ms. Broussard noted that the shared parking was municipal parking <br />lots. Ms. Broussard said that she thinks the focus should be on aligning the document with the new plan. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kalina asked how zoning gets changed. Administrator Statz noted that there are a couple <br />of ways: <br /> The property owner can request it <br /> The city can initiative it through a comprehensive plan amendment to guide the property to <br />something different <br /> The city can initiate something to change the zoning. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kalina asked about community input and Administrator Statsz said there would be a <br />public hearing. <br /> <br />Commissioner Seppala noted that it is unfortunate that the Planning and Zoning Commission put forth a <br />moratorium to evaluate planning documents and the council went against the CommissionÓs <br />recommendation. Administrator Statz noted that the Council agreed on evaluating the cityÓs planning <br />documents, but they did not wish to do this under a moratorium. <br /> <br />The public hearing was closed at 8:06p.m. <br />Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br />
