Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, August 04, 2010 Page 3 amendments to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designations of 95 seventy-two (72) parcels throughout the City 96 City Planner Thomas Paschke noted previous discussions held at the June 97 Planning Commission meeting of numerous “anomaly” properties throughout the 98 City that had been incorrectly guided during the Comprehensive Lane Use Map 99 update process, with the list having grown from sixty-seven to seventy-two (67 to 100 72) properties. Mr. Paschke noted, as detailed in the Request for Planning 101 Action dated August 4, 2010, that in order to correct zoning designations on 102 those properties, a Comprehensive Plan – Land Use Amendment and applicable 103 rezoning processes would need to be followed. Mr. Paschke advised that the 104 City Council had concurred with recommendations for this process by the 105 Planning Commission. 106 Mr. Paschke clarified that, at the request of the property owner at 3253 Old 107 Highway 8, the property (3261 and 3253 Old Highway 8) would not be part of 108 tonight’s discussion and that notice had been published and mailed for 109 consideration at the Commission’s Special meeting scheduled for Wednesday, 110 August 25, 2010. Mr. Paschke advised that it would be appropriate to receive 111 public comment on properties not being considered for action tonight to 112 accommodate the public in attendance; however, there would be no specific 113 action on those. 114 Mr. Paschke provided the summary notes from the Open House held on July 28, 115 2010 to discuss the anomaly properties. 116 At the request of Chair Doherty, Mr. Paschke reviewed the history of some of the 117 properties, carrying over incorrect land use designations and/or zoning from as 118 far back as 1979 and incorrectly identified on past Comprehensive Plan maps; of 119 consisting of split zone properties that may be separated by a public right-of-way 120 where the property identification system only identifies one of those properties for 121 a number and zoning designation, or some sliver properties that are inadvertently 122 overlooked. 123 Mr. Paschke advised that the Planning, Public Works/Engineering, and Park and 124 Recreation Departments met cooperatively to review all City property for their 125 property identification and intended land use and zoning designation; as well as 126 incorrect privately owned lots/parcels to establish their appropriate land use and 127 zoning designations, resulting in the multiple maps of those properties under 128 discussion and consideration at tonight’s meeting. 129 Mr. Paschke noted a change from the staff report for two (2) parcels on South 130 McCarron’s identified as right-of-way, and after initial staff discussion, a 131 determination by staff to recommend that their designation change from right-of- 132 way to Park/Open Space. However, since that time, Mr. Paschke advised that 133 staff had heard from a number of concerned residents and neighbors currently 134 using the undeveloped right-of-way as an alley to access their property. Mr. 135 Paschke advised that, after further discussion, staff was recommending that it 136 remain designated as right-of-way, not Park/Open Space. 137 Chair Doherty asked that Mr. Paschke go through each proposed amendment to 138 allow the meeting minutes to reflect discussion specific to that parcel; and inviting 139 public comment for individual items. 140 Unidentified audience member 141 The speaker had a general question for 2201 Lexington Avenue, designated 142 LDR, and for all properties in general and the rationale for recommended 143 changes, whether requested by property owners in order to change their use. 144 Mr. Paschke reiterated that there were no proposals prompting the proposed 145 amendments to the Comprehensive Land Use Map, and that they were 146 corrections to parcels that continued to be carried over from the 1970’s and/or 147
