Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,July 23,2018 <br /> Page 5 <br /> Mayor Roe stated the existing use table creates some difficulty in seeing how <br /> proposed projects might or might not fit into it. <br /> Member Sparby expressed concern that on the PUD, the projects were pushing <br /> the PC to amend the existing PUD or not, and there was a separate process of <br /> looking at the PUD as a whole.

Perhaps when <br /> questions come forward, an educational process can take place. In the short term, <br /> it is really the underlying zoning. In the long term, it is the visionary comprehen- <br /> sive plan. <br /> Vice Chair Bull asked for the Council's perspective on the PC's efforts to reach a <br /> diverse group of people. <br /> Councilmember Etten responded that the plan process from ten years ago was not <br /> as inclusive.
