the location and access to the regional transportation system make District 10 a 56 desirable development area, classic redevelopment issues (e.g., obsolete, existing, 57 underutilized property, poor site configuration, and site contamination) create 58 challenges in attracting investment. 59 Previous planning has envisioned a master-plan approach to redevelopment. A large- 60 scale project would allow the City to work with a single developer to guide land uses 61 and public improvements. Such a project has not materialized, especially since the 62 lending and developing markets coming out of the recession have made master 63 developer situations extremely rare throughout the country. Future development will 64 more likely be a series of smaller projects. This approach places more responsibility 65 on the City for creating an appropriate mix of uses and a sustainable development 66 pattern. 67 Future Land Use 68 The Twin Lakes area is designated as Community Mixed-Use, a new land-use 69 category for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The mixed-use designation for this area 70 reflects several factors: 71 The need to retain flexibility in working with developers over an extended period 72 of time to create high-quality and sustainable new development 73 The recognition that the ability to correct site pollution will influence the type and 74 location of development 75 The desire to have employment as the primary orientation of future development, 76 balanced with the recognition that commercial and residential uses help to support 77 business development 78 Twin Lakes should not be developed with shopping as the primary focus of future 79 land use 80 5.3Since the Comprehensive Plan does not specifically discuss the Terrace Drive area and 81 the future High Density, the Planning Division has concluded the proposed 82 CLUP can be made without affecting other 83 OMPREHENSIVE ANDSELAN MAP CHANGE portions of the Comprehensive Plan. Instead, the proposal would result in a slight 84 adjustment in the future uses allowed by decreasing residential density and by providing 85 a broadened mix of uses to create a larger mixed-use redevelopment allowance. The 86 change would also assist with potential on-going nonconformity issues with the Terrace 87 Drive and Fairview Avenue parcels. 88 5.3ZMC: Assuming that the change to the Comprehensive Plan are 89 ONINGAPHANGE supported and approved, the requested becomes a clerical step to 90 ZONING MAP CHANGE ensure that the zoning map continues to be “consistent with the guidance and intent of the 91 Comprehensive Plan” as required in City Code §1009.04 (Zoning Changes). 92 6.0PCPCA UBLICOMMENT AND LANNINGOMMISSIONCTION 93 6.1The duly-noticed public hearing for this application was held by the Planning 94 Commission at its meeting of June 4, 2014; draft minutes of the meeting are included 95 with this RCA as Attachment D.
