Attachment D EJ4,2014,RPCM XTRACT OF THE UNEOSEVILLE LANNING OMMISSION INUTES d. PROJECT FILE 0026, Twin Lakes Re-Envisioning Request by the Community Development Department for approval of COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN MAP CHANGE AND ZONING MAP CHANGE for the following addressed properties within the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area: 1633 – 1776 Terrace Drive (along the north side of Terrace Drive adjacent to Oasis Park) 2830 Fairview Avenue (at the north corner of Terrace Drive and Fairview Avenue) 2805 – 2823, 2825, and 2833 – 2837 Fairview Avenue (the west side of Fairview Avenue adjacent to Langton Lake Park) Chair Gisselquist opened the Public Hearing for Planning File 14-009 at approximately 10:05 p.m. City Planner Thomas Paschke reviewed the request for proposed changes, as detailed in the staff report dated June 4, 2014, and Attachment B. Mr. Paschke reviewed the area north of Terrace Drive, which had been designated High Density Residential (HDR) in the past to serve as a buffer between single-family residential and park properties and business/commercial sues in the CMU District. However, over time and with other challenges, in addition to the requirement for an Interim Use for a unique situation as previously addressed tonight, Mr. Paschke advised that a number of non-conforming issues had come up, making management of that HDR designation more difficult each year and with those properties still not ripe for redevelopment. Mr. Paschke advised that the City Council had expressed their preference for no more than one CMU designation beyond the current one, but were of one mind that all of the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area should be afforded the same flexibility for residential, commercial or light industrial uses. Therefore, Mr. Paschke advised that the City Council determined that re- designation of the property to CMU would better serve the community and allow for future redevelopment for which the creation of the Twin Lakes and CMU area had been created for. Therefore, Mr. Paschke noted the request to change HDR to CMU in that area, and change the Zoning designation of the same HDR-1 to CMU as well, and staff’s support for those recommended changes. Mr. Paschke summarized the open house held by staff related to this request, as detailed in Attachment C to the RCA. At the request of Member Murphy, Mr. Paschke opined that before the subject properties were zoned HDR, with existing non-conforming uses, they were zoned Light Industrial to the best of his recollection; and that most parcels within the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area were designated as some type of light industrial, but not heavy industrial. Mr. Lloyd displayed a zoning map – pre-2010 rezoning – showing General Industrial or Light Industrial, with several businesses designated Office Park and PUD; with the area immediately below Oasis Park (grey area) designated Light Industrial. Member Murphy noted that to-date there had been no development interest in this subject property toward HDR. Mr. Paschke noted that Light Industrial designation allowed for many different industrial uses; and clarified that the intent in this change in designation was not seeking to move into that realm, with only two uses to-date approaching the City with the intent for production/processing and/or warehousing/distribution, both defined as light in City Code. Mr. Paschke noted that this
