Residential Plan II/ • Page 32 - Steering Committee Recommendation - The minimum lot size in the A- 1 (Agricultural) District is currently 10 acres. The Steering Committee recommended offering an incentive to property owners to utilize the clustering concept in developing their land by allowing an increased density. The Steering Committee's recommendation was to allow eight units per 40 with a minimum lot size of 1 acre, so long as 50 percent of the developable land is dedicated as permanent open space. Staff Recommendation - Staff supports the "clustering" concept endorsed by the Steering Committee; however, the preservation of open space needs to be further examined. Issues such as who owns the open space, how is it maintained, if it isn't public, has the intent of open space been accomplished? Commercial Plan • Page 43 -1110 • Steering Committee Recommendation - The Steering Committee has recommended a C-3 (Highway Commercial) zoning designation be extended along the east side of Highway 169 north to 197th Avenue. Staff Recommendation - The area north of Sax Foods up to 197th should be given close examination for the type of land uses that would be best suited, given the natural features that currently exist, as well as the existing residential north of 197th and proposed residential east of the subject area. This corridor along Highway 169 from 193rd to 197th has received a lot of discussion over the past year. Therefore, staff would recommend a "focus area study" be conducted to determine appropriate land uses, open space needs, transportation system, preserving the natural features and minimizing land use conflicts. • Page 45 - As a follow-up to the previously discussed item, staff would recommend adding a Number 7 under `Necessary Actions", requesting that a focus area study be completed for the area along the east side of Highway 169 from 193rd to 197th Avenue. 1111 s:p lannin g:p c:10-26memo
