She referred to <br />97 <br />page 29 of the meeting packet and stated she hopes the new spectrum of districts <br />98 <br />highlights the mixed use opportunities the City already had. <br />99 <br />100 <br />In response to Member Bull, Ms. Perdu stated they are looking at the future land <br />101 <br />use classifications in the Comprehensive Plan that correspond to the districts on <br />102 <br />the map. After it is adopted, they will make sure the zoning districts correspond <br />103 <br />with the future land use districts. <br />104 <br />105 <br />Mr. Lloyd commented the zoning district names do correlate with the <br />106 <br />Comprehensive Plan designations and the content between the two must match <br />107 <br />up.All the permitted uses are based on the zoning districts. <br />108 <br />109 <br />Member Kimble inquired if the definitions were newly created by the consultants <br />110 <br />or taken from someone else’s definition. Ms. Perdu responded they created the <br />111 <br />names, buta lot of the description language was taken from the existing district. <br />112 <br />They have added some things regarding scale and transportation connectionsand <br />113 <br />removed references where the traffic and customers were coming from. <br />114 <br />115 <br />Member Gitzen inquired if there are any industry standards for these names. <br />116 <br />117 <br />Ms. Perdu responded the residential terms are generally standard, but there are a <br />118 <br />variety of names with mixed use and commercial. <br />119 <br />120 <br />Chair Murphy inquired if there is anything to distinguish betweenland use district <br />121 <br />whenstandards overlap. <br />122 <br />123 <br />Ms. Perdu responded they should make distinctions to eliminate overlap. <br />124 <br />125 <br />Ms. Perdu reported they did not make many changes to the residential districts. <br />126 <br />They did include a minimum density in the low-densitycategory and added some <br />127 <br />narrative regarding transportation connections and types of uses contemplated. <br />128 <br />Ms. Perdu stated the density ranges remain the same as what was in the 2030 <br />129 <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />130 <br />131 <br />Chair Murphy referred to Low Density Residential, and inquired what a 1.5 <br />132 <br />dwelling unitper acrewould translate to be. <br />133 <br />134 <br />Ms. Perdu stated it translates to about three quarters of an acre. <br />135 <br /> <br />
