~~~~ <br />472 for, in that case it was a PD but now it wiCl be Conditional District, you can exceed that limit. we thought that it could be <br />473 exceeded because they have to request, They have to specifically request back to the Commissioners and it's not a by right, <br />474 That's why it can exceed that area. ~. <br />475 <br />476 Samantha Cabe Really what does this amendment do to what is already there? <br />477 <br />478 Craig Benedict: what this amendment does is to focus Master Planned Developments whCCh have to be at [east five acres ~n <br />479 size, it focuses them in our urbanizing sections of the County. It doesn't allow a wider distribution of a master planned <br />484 development. <br />48 ~ ~ w ~ ' nd be <br />482 Brian Crawford: what was this comment made that the ~IPD CZ could be put our in Cedar Grove an a farm somewhere a <br />483 approved. That was the comment that was made. <br />484 <br />485 Craig Benedict: what we kind of heard from the public, ll~aster Planned DevGlapment will gEVe a specific I~st of uses but you <br />486 won't see exactly what's going to happen there so there's a little more speculation. we think the application of MPDs will most <br />487 likely be in an urban area sa it's not like we're forcing things out of an area, vile da think that's an important economic <br />488 development foal sv we want to at least preserve them within those urban transition areas of the County and the Rural <br />489 Community Hades. <br />494 , , ~ <br />491 Pete Hallenbeck: The speedway area that's been brought up by public comment, is it in any of those areas or ~s it in the green , <br />492 <br />493 Craig Benedict: A recommendation of that Small Area Plan was to create another zone, like another Rural Community Node and <br />494 we'd have to add that to the map then it would allow different mixed use. <br />495 <br />496 Pete Hallenbeck: That was my concern with this. There has been a lot of talk about that and I've been in that area and ~t seems <br />497 like it's a new emerging economic area. l wanted to make sure it wouldn't block it out and by way of restating to make sure I <br />498 understand fihe SmaIl~Area Plan for the speedway area would allow this to happen. <br />499 <br />544 Craig Benedict: Yes, it would inform that in that and there~are recommendations an hold from the Plan that would begin to <br />5 ~ 1 proceed with if we get Phase 1 out. Yau are correct. <br />542 <br />543 Alan Campbell: So the old Planned Development procedure could be done in the green? <br />544 <br />545 Craig Benedict: Previously, yes, <br />546 <br />547 Alan Campbell: Now we're taking that away, part of it. <br />548 <br />549 Craig Benedict: Part of it. <br />510 <br />511 Alan Campbell: we're making it more restrictive which is really a Phase 2, theoretically, adjustment but staff is recommending it <br />512 now. I'm okay with this... <br />513 <br />514 Brian Crawford: The thing is if we go back to that Comprehensive Plan and one of the language that the Comprehensive Plan <br />515 puts forward is that new development is either going to be a Small Area Plan or the transition area. <br />516 <br />517 Alan Campbell: Practically speaking, you couldn't do it because of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />518 <br />519 Brian Crawford; Right, when someone comes in with a proposal like that we say, look this is not what the Comprehensive Plan <br />524 had in mind. <br />521 <br />522 Alan Campbell, If we left it in it would override the Comprehensive Plan or not? <br />523 <br />524 Brian Crawford: No. <br />525 <br />526 Alan Campbell: So we've already gat that limitation. <br />527 <br />528 Brian Crawford: Right, I guess the point about this whole exercise..,... <br />529 <br />118 <br />9 <br />
