Attachment A ЊЍЌ clarify versus narrative that may be up to interpretation, with staff?s feedback on ways to address those ЊЍЍ issues in the private/public sectors that made the most sense. ЊЍЎ Mr. Bilotta noted that the Terrace Drive area seemed to be primed for development at this time, with so far ЊЍЏ the only thing agreed upon is that the HDR zoning is not desired by anyone, meaning the only thing ЊЍА currently allowed for development is not desired. ЊЍБ Mr. Bilotta suggested staff be directed to engage the public in a series of public meetings starting within the ЊЍВ next three weeks in-house at the staff level, in an effort to provide guidance to the City Council; and for the ЊЎЉ other development area along County Road C, that developer use their consultants and finances to follow ЊЎЊ the same process in meeting with the neighbors to prepare a regulating plan or modify the Cunningham plan ЊЎЋ on the west side. ЊЎЌ Mayor Roe clarified that the design standards referenced by Councilmember McGehee were provided in ЊЎЍ Chapter 1005.02 of City Code. ЊЎЎ City Planner Thomas Paschke responded that the goal in developing that chapter of City Code was to ЊЎЏ eliminate regulating plans and adopt regional business standards and general requirements for the CMU ЊЎА District. ЊЎБ At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Paschke reviewed the options in extrapolating the Cunningham plan if ЊЎВ adopted by reference, similar to an amended PUD. ЊЏЉ Councilmember McGehee noted past discussions with Mr. Trudgeon and Mr. Paschke with the City Council ЊЏЊ related to subareas, with the City Council specifying the area around Langton Lake and the north side of ЊЏЋ Terrace Drive sees graduated intensity to provide protections. ЊЏЌ Mayor Roe also recognized that past discussion; however, he clarified that those subzones were meant to ЊЏЍ deal with adjacent areas in other ways, while this discussion was different. ЊЏЎ When the City Council initiated this discussion, Councilmember Willmus noted that it was changing HDR ЊЏЏ to CMU, with feedback heard provided by the business community and City Council before the ЊЏА neighborhood came forward in August seeking a voice in the process. Before moving forward and before ЊЏБ any other changes are considered, Councilmember Willmus noted the vital need to hear from them and bring ЊЏВ them into the process. Based on what he had heard to-date from the neighbors, Councilmember Willmus ЊАЉ opined that he wasn't confident that CMU was the vision they had for their neighborhood, and before formal ЊАЊ action by the City Council, those conversations needed to be part of the process. ЊАЋ Councilmember McGehee clarified that this was the proposal made by Mr. Bilotta for staff to initiate that ЊАЌ discussion with the neighborhood over the next three weeks. ЊАЍ At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Bilotta advised that as long as the discussions were held in-house, staff ЊАЎ required no formal action from the City Council; but if it was determined that an outside consultant was ЊАЏ required, they would return to the City Council for their authorization. Mr. Bilotta opined that, as long as ЊАА the discussion was within the Terrace Drive area, and not further beyond to Cleveland Avenue, staff could ЊАБ handle the meeting process. ЊАВ Mr. Bilotta and Mr. Paschke clarified that a regulating plan was required, but could be done by the City or ЊБЉ the developer and created by area; and by consensus of the City Council agreed that a regulating plan ЊБЊ developed by the private sector would be amendable to the City Council for consideration as well. ЊБЋ Regarding whether to use a regulatory plan or another option, Councilmember Etten opined that it seemed ЊБЌ the regulatory plan allowed flexibility, and in previous discussion when considering creating subzones as ЊБЍ applicable, another part of that discussion was to simply leave it open, providing enough nuance without ЊБЎ changing all zoning. Councilmember Etten stated that he was in favor of the open zoning as long as it could ЊБЏ be adjusted through a regulating plan.
