RE: COMMUNITY PLAN UPDATE – INDICATORS (METRICS)
DATE: JULY 16, 2019 The next substantial element of the plan preparation is the future land use map. Planning Staff is meeting with Public Works and Economic Development staff on July 15th to work on refining a draft of the map. The Planning Board had a discussion on January 9 and 31, 2019 regarding several key elements of the future land use map. The City Commission had a work session on February 25, 2019 to consider the same materials. The Commission video is available at https://media.avcaptureall.com/session.html?sessionid=bea087a3-e96f-49fe-9288-970010d49376&prefilter=654,3835 Questions and summary direction given were: 1. Shall the planning area be expanded to include the full area of the Rae water and sewer district anticipating that with probable future municipal service provision will also eventually come annexation to the City? Answer: Yes. 2. When preparing the future land use map is it now time to simply plan for fully urbanizing
the entire planning area with the exception of areas with unique limitations such as
conservation easements? Answer: Show most areas as some urban designation and only use Present Rural for those areas with substantial utility service location restrictions and/or substantial intent to maintain in non-urban character for the long term 3. When preparing the future land use map should the Suburban Residential designation be used again? Answer: Only show the Suburban Residential on areas with an existing developed condition and substantial difficulties in extending municipal services. 4. When preparing the future land use map should the Business Park Mixed Use designation be used again? Answer: In general, stop use of this designation and revise language for allow greater uses.
