Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 21,2012 Page 32 TIF Mayor Roe responded that while the subject property will be contributing in- crements, the developer would not receive any to fund their proposal other than for the City using it for City costs for infrastructure improvements contemplated or anticipated. Twin Lakes Master Plan as a part of the Comprehensive Plan Mayor Roe sought clarification from staff that while the Master Plan was re- moved as part of the 2009 Comprehensive Plan, it continued to be referenced for consideration; with specific language in regard to it remaining an official control document. Mr. Trudgeon clarified that the Twin Lakes Master Plan was referenced as an "official control" (page 423, Section 4) in the 2010 Comprehensive Plan. Mayor Roe further clarified the intent of"official control" terminology related to regulating a certain area. Based on his recollection of Comprehensive Plan discussions, the intent was that a document designated as an "official control" was related to enforcement, and not carrying the same weight under State Stat- utes as the Zoning Code, but remaining part of the review process to determine what was or was not appropriate. Councilmember Johnson opined that he did find this language a bit of a conun- drum; and sought clarification from staff of a process at the Planning Commis- sion level several years ago in reviewing all Master Plans throughout the City to determine which were and which were not included in the Comprehensive Plan update. Councilmember Johnson questioned what the outcome for the Twin lakes Master Plan had been as a result of those discussions and decisions. Mr. Trudgeon advised that the determination was that the Twin Lakes Master Plan was not included as part of the updated Comprehensive Plan, but that it remained relevant with a limited ability to accomplish everything desired in the area. Councilmember Johnson opined that, based on that, there would appear to be a discrepancy between the Twin Lakes Master Plan, the Comprehensive Plan, and the Zoning Code. Mr. Trudgeon did not concur with that synopsis. Councilmember Johnson suggested that this appeared to put the Master Plan on a different plane than the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code, and if there was a discrepancy, the City was obliged to abide by the Zoning Code and Com- prehensive Plan.
