PUBLIC HEARING ITEM - CONTINUATION OF DECEMBER 1, 1992 HEARING <br /> 38 1. Comprehensive Plan Amendment <br /> 39 a. CP-1-92 University Station <br /> 40 Planning Director Marvin Collins gave a brief presentation. This <br /> 41 is a continuation of the December 1, 1992 Public Hearing on the proposed <br /> 42 University Station Land Use amendment. He emphasized that this is a Land <br /> 43 Use Plan amendment. This is not involved in the consideration or approval <br /> 44 of a specific project. There are two options available in amending the Land <br /> 45 Use Plan. The first is to place it in a transition category which would <br /> 46 allow the applicant to come back, if approved, and apply for a zoning <br /> 47 designation which would permit them to carry out the proposed project. The <br /> 48 current zoning of the property is R-i Residential which permits one unit to <br /> 49 the acre. In order to achieve the density necessary to implement the plans, <br /> 50 the zoning request of R-2 where two units to an acre would be appropriate <br /> 51 would need to be approved at a later time. The other option that is being <br /> 52 considered is to place the proposed University Station area in a new Land Use <br />
