DISCUSSION:
1. Discussion Re: C-2 Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
Mr. Peetz gave an overview data analysis of Proposed Large Scale Plan Amendment CPA98-A
which included: locations; acreage; current and proposed future land use; current and proposed
zoning; description of amendment areas; public services and facilities in amendment areas,
including roads, waste water facilities, potable water supply, solid waste and recreation facilities;
environmental description of amendment areas; historical and archeological resources in
amendment areas; population projections and trends; and consistency with the Comprehensive
Plan, including the Future Land Use Map, internal consistency of the plan, changing Table 9-1
and Future Land Use Element text and Policy LU-3.3 of the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Peetz
pointed out that the proposal included 129 acres which equaled 10% of the city's total land area.
He explained that of that acreage, 76 1/2 acres were developed and 52 acres were vacant. He
further explained that this change was considered a legislative action and not quasi judicial.
Discussion included: amortization of the tank farm located on the northeast section of the city,
buffering around the tank farm, and the possibility of contaminated soil. Discussion was also
held regarding reserving the right-of-way along Ridgewood Avenue for future use as a pedway
and an emergency evacuation route.
The Board members reviewed and discussed the proposed Future Land Use map which depicted
the areas to be designated as the proposed C-2 zoning district. By consensus, all the Board
members agreed to go forward with the recommendation to change the proposed areas as
outlined on the proposed Future Land Use map designated C-2.
Mayor Porter thanked the Board for their dedication and hard work. He then presented
Chairperson McNeely with a Proclamation proclaiming October 25, 1997 as "Honor Our
Volunteers Day".
