REQUEST FOR ACTION TO ITEM NUMBER Ci Council 5.1. AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY Worksession ul 11, 2011 erem Barnhart, Plannin Mana er ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By Authorization to Initiate a Conditional Use Amendment to Tim Simon, Finance Director Amend the Planned Unit Development Agreement for Trott REVIEWED BY Brook Farms -continued from July 5, 201 ~ ACTION REQUESTED Direction on how to proceed. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION At the July 5, 2011 City Council meeting, the Council pulled discussion regarding the City initiating a Conditional Use Permit to amend the Planned Unit Development agreement for Trott Brook Farms. The Council rightfully questioned the City incurring the cost to benefit a relatively few population of the City. In working with property owners, staff typically tells the property owner they can make application to make any amendment they want and the process will start, or they can request, via staff, that the City initiate the application. While the property owners save the application fee, they give up the ability to draft the language and the ability to control the time line, assuming the City agrees that an amendment is necessary. In situations where an ordinance amendment serves a very narrow population, staff informs the property owner that staff will not support an ordinance amendment. In this situation, a larger than normal population will be affected. This is not dissimilar to an ordinance amendment affecting industrial users, for example. In this regard, staff can support undertaking the process. Staff will be in attendance at Monday's meeting to discuss. FINANCIAL IMPACT There is some financial impact associated with the mailing, public notice, and recording fee. This amendment will not be codified.
