Collins continued that <br /> one of the things that changed his position was <br /> that the University Station Project fit in with <br /> the effort to provide consistency with service <br /> areas and the County Transition Areas. He note <br /> if the request for the change in the Land Use <br /> Plan is approved, the developer could then either <br /> ask for a straight rezoning or present a planned <br /> development proposal. <br /> Pilkey asked how the property could be developed <br /> if the Land Use Plan amendment is not approved. <br /> Collins responded that it would probably be <br /> developed in the individual tracts that make up <br /> this entire tract. He continued that the master <br /> planning of a project this size has many <br /> advantages for the County as well as the <br /> applicant. <br /> Eidenier stated that she shared concerns about <br /> changing the Land Use Plan but she felt that <br /> development will be occurring in this area and <br /> she would much prefer to see planned development <br /> rather than individual developments. <br /> Eddleman also noted concern with changing the <br /> Land Use Plan so soon after an update. <br /> Lewis indicated he felt there had been an under- <br /> estimation due to not taking into account the <br /> utility service areas and providers. <br /> MOTION: Yuhasz moved to recommend approval of the <br /> proposed amendment as recommended by the Planning <br /> Staff. Seconded by Lewis. <br /> VOTE: 6 in favor. <br /> 3 opposed (Eddleman - did not desire to change <br /> the Land Use Plan so soon after an update; <br /> Hamilton and Pilkey - not convinced that the area <br /> should be a Transition Area) . <br /> Jacobs noted part of the consideration, at least <br /> on his part, is the fact that the Board still has <br /> the option to zone the property at whatever <br /> density seems appropriate. <br /> b.
