59 nature. A corporate office campus/complex for example, has been a use desired by the
<br />60 City Council far Twin Lakes. Such a uses is clearly a regional use when using the City
<br />61 Attorney's analysis. Hotels, restaurants, a fitness center, and/or an office/showroom,
<br />62 would also be considered regional uses when applying the sort of analysis the City
<br />63 Attorney has suggested.
<br />64 6.0 PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
<br />65 Over the course of the past six months, the City Planner has presented for discussion a
<br />66 number of thoughts and ideas regarding the CMU District and specifically the land use
<br />67 and zoning definitions. On February 20, 2014, the City Council supported moving
<br />68 forward through the formal amendment process to modify the Comprehensive Plan CMU
<br />69 Land Use Definition and the CMU Zoning Statement of Purpose so that they are
<br />70 consistent.
<br />71 The proposal (below) incorporates a set of broad uses that is predicated on the general
<br />72 zoning categories of Table 1005-1 of the Zoning Ordinance, eliminates the cross
<br />73 reference of other land use definitions to eliminate confusion and ambiguity, and
<br />74 eliminates a perceived flaw in a mandate for a specific housing percentage.
