Regular City Council Meeting Monday, January 10,2011 Page 7 Chair Roe suggested, and Mr. Trudgeon concurred, that if so determined, the City Council may wish to initiate that the Planning Commission consider their recom- mendation related to a Comprehensive Plan Amendment concurrent with the neighborhood's request for rezoning of the two (2) subject parcels. At the request of Member Pust, Mr. Trudgeon clarified that the only people hav- ing the potential to request a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for land use desig- nation are the property owner or the City Council; but that the neighbors could re- quest rezoning, noting that the zoning and Comprehensive Plan land use designa- tion must conform. Based on those circumstances, Mr. Buck advocated the Board/City Council to bring forward a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, noting the complex issues pre- sented in October of 2010 when the City Council was considering changes. Mr. Buck opined that MDR seemed like a fair compromise for existing adjacent resi- dential properties, as well as the property owner(s) of 3253 and 3261 Old High- way 8. Mr. Buck expressed concern with the timing and potential sale and/or project on the subject parcels moving ahead prior to resolution of this concern. City Manager Malinen suggested that, if and when staff received an application for rezoning, staff could bring a recommendation forward for City Council con- sideration related to a Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Member McGehee questioned density of R-6, with Chair Roe advising that this was no longer a land use designation or zoning district. Member McGehee suggested another compromise to consider a Planned Unit De- velopment (PUD) for the subject properties to allow any future development to come before the City Council for additional conditions; noting that under the new zoning rules, if a development adheres to standards, it was most likely that neither the Planning Commission or City Council would hear the case or have any impact on the development. Member McGehee opined that if a PUD were approved even under current Comprehensive Plan land use designation and HDR zoning guiding the property to twelve (12) units per acre, a realistic project could transition well with existing developments and improve upon green space. Chair Roe noted that, in order to consider instituting the PUD process, discussion and consideration would need to be taken up at an appropriate time as the City Council. C. Appeal from Har Mar Mall area residents regarding property zoning deci- sion made by the City Council on December 13, 2010 Community Development Director Trudgeon reviewed this request for appeal, similar to the previous case, and as detailed in the staff report dated January 10,
