729 over the last twenty (20) years, would continue, or whether a Comprehensive Plan Amendment III 730 was indicated to zone the property something other than Community Business. 731 Chair Doherty opined that the conflict was that this issue was not unique but similar to every 732 hr development jeuht before the Commission in non property owners trying to 733 control ot develop of ac prope owners. Chair Doherty concurred with Co 734 Boeri point that the entire bro area was a shopping center, and attempti to say it couldn't be 735 developed was atte to in on the ri of property o if t hey were abiding by 736 existing e r and re proct placed upon p by the City. 737 Co Bo questioned whether it was p to atte to dictate whether this 77777777 38 s portion of a larger shopping g center desi area should be restricted, by reco 739 Co Plan Amen by super m ajority vote, and what that ac reco 7 40 amen wou b e. C omm i ss i oner B oe ri gter note t current use was as a par l ot as a 741 part of Har Mar Mall and to continue to designate it R -1 seemed irrational. Commissioner 742 Boerigter suggested it may be more prudent to address the use as part of the Community t Busines 743 definition and guarantees that a buffer zone remained as part of new design standards; and 744 questioned if there were other areas with similar issues for adjacent residential properties and 745 potential future redevelopment concerns. Commissioner Boerigter, however, expressed his 746 concerns and lack of support of proposed design standards. Commissioner Boerigter was not 747 supportive of designating the property R -1 in perpetuity based on neighbors attempting to restric 748 potential redevelopment of the site; however, he did express concern that Har Mar not be allowed 749 additional access from their site. III 750 Commissioner Gottfried noted that the Comprehensive Plan was updated every ten (10) years, 751 and while 2020 may seem like a long time away, the process would start again in eight (8) years, 752 with the intent of the Plan to guide long -term development and /or redevelopment with periodic 753 review. Commissioner Gottfried suggested that, as the zoning code details were developed, 754 specific as to access could be addressed. 755 Discussion among Commissioners and staff involved oversight by the Commission on granting 756 additional access from Har Mar Mall onto Ryan Street and applicable City restrictions, if any, on 757 such consideration. 758 Commissioner Best suggested language in the Community Business zoning designation that 759 traffic could not be funneled into residential streets, only to major arterial streets. 760 Commissioner Gottfried concurred, opining that language could be drafted for transportation and 761 related issues more appropriately in the zoning code designations to create equity across the 762 board, rather than specifically treating Har Mar Mall any differently than any other business with 763 a Community Business designation. 764 Chair Doherty refocused the discussion to future development of the site, since it was apparent 765 from Commissioner discussions that none of them supported access from the Har Mar site into 766 the residential area. 767 Commissioner Gottfried opined that developers might not be interested in limited access.
