Roll Call Ayes: Johnson; Pust;Willmus; and Roe. Nays: McGehee. Motion carried. Continuing his comments specific to the Twin Lakes Master Plan, Mr. Trudgeon advised that the Twin Lakes Regulating Plan components and Twin Lakes Overlay District incorporated some of the issued identified and for provide relevant enforcement of those important compo- nents from the 2001 document. Mr. Trudgeon further clarified that there was no particular mechanism to do so; and noted that if the City owned developable land it would be different, but that was not the case. Member Pust thanked staff for their presentation and work throughout this project. Member Pust questioned staff's interpretation that appellants were not arguing a conflict be- tween the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Trudgeon responded that the appellants, and a majority of their respective argument, con- sisted of whether there was a conflict between those two documents and their language. How- ever, Mr. Trudgeon opined that staff did not see anything directly related to permitted use with the Zoning Code. Member Pust questioned if the only ruling for the Board to consider was that conflict. Mr. Trudgeon stated that he couldn't comment; but appeals were usually based on zoning code conflicts. During 2009 Comprehensive Plan discussions when square footage limitations were dropped, Member Pust questioned if the conclusion of staff was that the policy makers had made a choice to allow big box retail.
