Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 12, 2011 Page 35 Mayor Roe sought clarification from staff that the AUAR implementation, through the allocation plan and overlay district, was based on the original Master Plan scenarios; and that uses were based on that Master Plan and dictated the AUAR analysis. Councilmember McGehee opined that the Master Plan pre-dated the updated AUAR. Mayor Roe noted that the Master Plan didn't take into account specific details about traffic counts; but made broad assumptions; and the AUAR then took those and fleshed them out into numbers and impacts. Councilmember McGehee reiterated her opinion that the Master Plan predated all of this, and was similar to Rosedale and other general developments calling for a Planned Unit Development (PUD)process. Councilmember Willmus noted that this was the issue that was litigated a number of years ago based on objections of a neighborhood group, bringing the situation to this point; and questioned whether it was beneficial to rehash that issue and suggest that it needed to be revisited or revert to where the development area and City were in 2005. Councilmember McGehee disputed that interpretation; opining that a lot of the Master Plan had been incorporated into the allocation study and certainly into mi- tigation strategies; but the piece that seemed to be most noticeably missing was the piece on uses. Mayor Roe clarified that the uses were dictated by the CMU zoning in the Zoning Code, as well as in the Comprehensive Plan designation. At the request of Coun- cilmember Johnson, Mayor Roe advised that the Twin Lakes Master Plan was not intended to be included in the updated Comprehensive Plan; but that the AUAR was based on the Master Plan map from 2001, the basis or foundation upon which everything else built. While note being an official part of the updated Compre- hensive Plan document, Mayor Roe stated that it was still referenced and in- grained in the entire AUAR process. Councilmember Pust recalled that during the Comprehensive Plan Study group meetings, the Master Plans had been discussed and a process for bringing them back to the City Council if they were still considered viable; and questioned if there had been followed-up. Mayor Roe clarified that, while no Master Plans were included in the Comprehen- sive Plan update (2008/2009) that was not a decision that they would all go away.
