Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 27, 2014 Page 32 City Manager Trudgeon advised that this could be done, even given the number of moving parts, but accomplished through the purpose statement with the next exer- cise tonight talking about what the City Council wanted or didn't want, potential- ly modifying the zoning code to specify all areas. Mr. Trudgeon advised that, as all those moving parts were brought together, it was staff's intent to have suffi- cient time to figure it out. If staff was heading in the right direction, Mr. Trudg- eon asked that the City Council confirm that to allow staff to draft samples for consideration by the City Council and possible action in the future. Until she saw the underlying documents, Councilmember McGehee responded that she was not comfortable doing that, even though at first glance it seemed ap- propriate. Councilmember McGehee advised that she needed concrete confirma- tion that what she sees here and what is actually in the revised zoning code is well matched to meet the vision of the City and its residents. Councilmember McGe- hee opined that she often found they were approving one thing, and then the other part didn't come up to complete the process. Mr. Trudgeon assured Councilmembers that staff agreed with those former prob- lematic processes, and was attempting to accomplish those same goals and how the proposed revisions directly applied to the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area. Mayor Roe clarified that staff was not asking the City Council to adopt this lan- guage tonight, but to provide staff with feedback on whether or not they were heading in the right direction. Since the zoning ordinance amendments followed closely with the land use definition amendments proposed by staff, Mayor Roe determined that there was no need to repeat that discussion tonight. Twin Lakes Area Use Exercise Mr. Paschke introduced this exercise (Attachment A) by defining four specific ar- eas in Twin Lakes. Area 1 —Cleveland Avenue and County Road C-2 Mayor Roe opined that he was considering that LDR, Retail, Warehous- ing/Distribution, and Light Manufacturing may not be good fits for that location. Councilmember Willmus questioned if further definition was needed and whether "mom and pop" shops should be a consideration there. Mayor Roe responded that"retail"meant"retail." Councilmember Willmus advised that he didn't want Residential: 12-14 units/acre in this area to avoid greater density; but questioned if there shouldn't be an option for residential above retail in smaller development scenarios, with definitions go- ing forward to better define what was or was not wanted.
