<br /> <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 1-22-96 <br />ITEM NO: G-3 <br />t Approval: Manager Appro~.~ _ Agenda Section: <br />~r" Hearings <br />TOWER PLACE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CHANGES <br /> <br />Back2round <br /> <br />At the January 10, 1996 Plarming Commission meeting, the Commission adopted and <br />recommended approval of the Tower Place (formerly South of "C") Policy Plan as an amendment <br />to the City Comprehensive Plan with three corrections: <br /> <br /> <br />) Service and convenience uses (such as Rax and Amoco) should not be removed from <br />the mix of uses along the B-2 and Fairview corner since they are the only such uses available in <br />the area - they may be relocated but should be retained in the mix of permitted uses. <br /> <br />~ 2) Prior Avenue cannot physically be extended through from Oakcrest to County Road <br />/"'E" because of the new building activity in this area has precluded the ability to acquire right-of- <br />way. Instead of new public streets, the plan'recommends managing traffic, expanding the existing <br />streets, and creating private streets or joint driveways and parking areas to handle internal traffic <br />:ijows. (This may be an eligible cost if such a development occurs and requests the use of TIF.) <br /> <br /> <br />) The current office building property owners do not support (and, at this time, do not <br />find the need for) the establishment of parking ramps on Prior Avenue as was proposed at one of <br />the studr meetings. 1\ A 11.,. . ~LJ .,jA...u/.A <br />&.\) Ct)~ ~ j~ ,~~ I-"'f~. ,- ---" . <br /> <br />The Pla~,me~vti a;,;~1IE y~ k tY~ /"Ii~ <br />SUGGEiriD ACTIONS: fHiM/~ ,."..,., ~~ to"; <br /> <br />~anuary 22, 1996 City Council meeting, for which a hearing has already been scheduled, <br />J the staffwill present the Planning Commission's recommendation regarding the Tower Place <br />//'" <br />Policy Plan.
