Memo to Mayor and City Council/ZC 03-04/LU 03-02 <br />August 18, 2003 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />purposes, if approved by the City. In 1999, it appears that the owner attempted to register <br />the title and to clarify the owner's intent in regards to Outlot A. <br /> <br />1994 Land Use and Zone Change Request <br /> <br />The owner submitted this exact request in 1994 but withdrew the request, as the City was <br />undertaking the 1995 Comprehensive Plan update. At that time, the Planning Commission <br />voted to deny the request on a number of points including the impacts to adjacent residential <br />areas, traffic issues (lack of a signalized intersection at 197th Avenue and Highway 169) and <br />that the Growth Management Plan was being updated. <br /> <br />1995 Land Use Request <br /> <br />In 1995 the owner submitted a request for a land use amendment to Highway Business, a <br />zone change to Planned Unit Development, and a Conditional Use Permit. At that time, the <br />Planned Unit Development was intended to provide additional commercial uses on the site. <br />This request again was withdrawn by the applicant until some unknown future date. <br /> <br />1997 Strategic Economic Development Planning Task Force <br /> <br />As a result of the 1995 Growth Management Plan (Comprehensive Plan) update, the <br />Economic Development Authority authorized the formation of a Strategic Economic <br />Development Planning Task Force. The purpose of the Task Force was to identify potential <br />sites for industrial and business park development. The Task Force identified eight sites <br />scattered throughout the City for potential industrial and business park development. One <br />of the sites under consideration was Outlot A of Brentwood. Six of the eight sites <br />recommended by the Strategic Planning Task Force were rezoned to business park, however <br />as noted in the EDA Minutes from 1997, Area//2 known as Outlot A of Brentwood was <br />not pursued due to the significant public opposition anticipated in trying to develop it as an <br />industrial or business park site. <br /> <br />2002- 2003 Comprehensive Plan Process <br /> <br />As the Commission is aware, the City has undertaken a process to amend the <br />Comprehensive Plan for the City. This plan anticipates the complete City build-out and <br />looks as far into the future as 2020 - 2025. <br /> <br />During the planning process the consultant developed three alternative development <br />concepts; the Guided Growth Concept, the Current Plan Concept, and the Market Trends <br />Concept. These concepts were reviewed by the Task Force as well as the public. Comments <br />regarding the three development scenarios were collected at Public Meeting//3 which <br />occurred on October 15, 2002. The commercial portion of the Market Trends Concept is <br />attached. The commercial discussion notes that the subject parcel is proposed to be guided <br />for Highway Business. The consultant notes that it is a logical extension of the existing <br />commercial district. The Market Trends Concept does however, point out several issues <br />with commercial development at the subject site, noting that east-west access to the site is <br />poor. Two out of the five groups at the Public Meeting noted that this could be a potential <br /> <br />S:~PLANNING\Case Files\2003\ZC 03-04 Dennis Anderson\8-18 CC memo.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
