66 2.4 On October L 2008, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to take public comment 67 on the draft Plan. Fourteen people, including residents, property owners, and Steering 68 Committee members,, spoke regarding the Comprehensive Plan. Attached to this 69 memorandum (Attachment C) is the draft meeting minutes and from this meeting. The 70 comments generally focused on four issues.- the future land use designation of the Target 71 and HarMar parcels, the future land use designation of the Twin Lakes area, the definition 72 of the Community Business future land use category, and the integration of Master Plans 73 into the Comprehensive Plan. 74 75 2.4. 1 Target and HarMar Future Land Use Designation.- Five residents and three Steering 76 Committee members spoke against the future land use designation of Regional 77 Business for the Target and HarMar parcels and requested they be designated 78 Community Business. In addition, seven Steering Committee members (out of the 79 thirteen total members) presented a letter to the Planning Commission requesting 80 that the future land use definition for these parcels be Community Business. 81 82 2.4.2 Twin Lakes Future Land Use Designation '.- Two Twin Lake property-owner 83 representatives spoke against the future land use designation of Community Mixed- 84 Use for parcels along County Road C and Cleveland Avenue. They spoke in favor of 85 reclassifying them as Regional Business. 86 87 2.4.3 Community Business Definition.- The 100,,000-square-foot limitation in the 88 Community Business definition concerned the Twin Lakes property-owner 89 representatives in that this definition is linked to the Community Mixed-Use 90 category. During the period between the last Steering Committee meeting and the 91 Planning Commission hearing, several Steering Committee members worked 92 together to revise the Community Business future land use definition in hopes of 93 bringing a resolution to this issue. The revised definition includes 100,000 square 94 feet as a building footprint guideline, but would allow for buildings to exceed that if 95 they were subject additional design requirements. They presented their revised 96 definition in the letter cited above. One Committee member spoke against the 97 100,,000-square-foot building size restriction in the definition. 98 99 2.4.4 Master Plans- Four Steering Committee members prepared a memorandum to the 100 Planning Commission recommending that all current and future land use master 101 plans be adopted into the Comprehensive Plan. One Steering Committee member 102 and one resident spoke on behalf of this position. 104 2.5 The draft Plan,, which was distributed to City Council members on Friday, October 3, 2008, 105 reflects the amendments made by the Planning Commission.
