PIIBLIC HEARING ITEM - CONTINUATION OF DECEMBER 1 1992 HEARING <br />1. Comprehensive Plan Amendment <br />a. CP-1-92 University Station <br />Planning Director Marvin Collins gave a brief presentation. This <br />is a continuation of the December 1, 1992 Public Hearing on the proposed <br />University Station Land Use amendment. He emphasized that this is a Land <br />Use Plan amendment. This is not involved in the consideration or approval <br />of a specific project. There are two options available in amending the Land <br />Use Plan. The first is to place it in a transition category which would <br />allow the applicant to come back, if approved, and apply for a zoning <br />designation which would permit them to carry out the proposed project. The <br />current zoning of the property is R-1 Residential which permits one unit to <br />the acre. In order to achieve the density necessary to implement the plans, <br />the zoning request of R-2 where two units to an acre would be appropriate <br />would need to be approved at a later time. The other option that is being <br />considered is to place the proposed University Station area in a new Land Use <br />
