55 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 98 recommendation from the Planning Director, and then ultimately make that <br /> 99 recommendation to the BOCC on the Statement of Consistency and the proposed <br /> 100 ordinance. So, if any of you have any questions for me, I am also up here as well. <br /> 101 Statler Gilfillen: I do have one question. Could this be considered in zoning a step down of less intensity <br /> 102 which we're approving tonight, or is this equal intensity,just something different? <br /> 103 Because I'm reading it and I'm listening to you, it sounds like what they're asking for is a <br /> 104 less intense situation. <br /> 105 Lauren Coffey: Correct, it is a down zoning back to their original designation from their rezoning to a <br /> 106 master plan. <br /> 107 Statler Gilfillen: Thank you. <br /> 108 Adam Beeman: The question was, we have potential to see them in the future to come back under a <br /> 109 flexible zoning, so this is just the step you have to take to get to that point. <br /> 110 Lauren Coffey: Yeah. <br /> 111 Adam Beeman: You got that? <br /> 112 Statler Gilfillen: Yeah. <br /> 113 Adam Beeman: Okay. Thank you, any other questions? All right. <br /> 114 Lamar Proctor: I move to approve the zoning change and adopt the statement of consistency as drafted <br /> 115 by planning staff and finding that the zoning change is consistent with the comprehensive <br /> 116 land use plan and reverting it back to a zoning designation consistent with the surrounding <br /> 117 parcels. <br /> 118 Statler Gilfillen: I'll second that. <br /> 119 Adam Beeman: All good? I just wanted to make sure I didn't have corrections from staff that we missed <br /> 120 something in the statement. <br /> 121 Patrick Mallett: The only thing to point out is the zoning was done several years ago, we've made <br /> 122 changes to the subdivision ordinance, they've got a workable option based on the realities <br /> 123 of economics and their need, but yeah, this is the first part of several processes that they'll <br /> 124 have to go through. I would also note that they have been in discussion with county <br /> 125 commissioners and with DEAPR on dedicating a significant amount of conservation area <br /> 126 on the property. <br /> 127 Chris Johnston: I just want to note,just so we don't appear flippant, you're requesting R1, you're <br /> 128 completely surrounded by R1, you're going conventional, so we're not going to have any <br /> 129 stipulations that we're allowed to put on it. I mean, it's pretty cut and dry as far as we can <br /> 130 tell on this. Just so you don't feel like we're sweeping you along or anything like that. <br /> 131 Patrick Mallett: Yeah, and they are fully aware that once the zoning is approved that it extinguishes all the <br /> 132 rights that they had gained with the previous zoning. <br /> 133 Statler Gilfillen: And moving forward they then have to come back to us again for approvals. <br /> 134 Patrick Mallett: Possibly, depends on whether they're a major or minor subdivision. <br />
