Memo to Planning Commission/ZC 03-04/LU 03-02 July 22,2003 Page 3 III1994 Land Use and Zone Change Request The owner submitted this exact request in 1994 but withdrew the request, as the City was undertaking the 1995 Comprehensive Plan update. At that time,the Planning Commission voted to deny the request on a number of points including the impacts to adjacent residential areas,traffic issues (lack of a signalized intersection at 197th Avenue and Highway 169) and that the Growth Management Plan was being updated. 1995 Land Use Request In 1995 the owner submitted a request for a land use amendment to Highway Business, a zone change to Planned Unit Development, and a Conditional Use Permit. At that time,the Planned Unit Development was intended to provide additional commercial uses on the site. This request again was withdrawn by the applicant until some unknown future date. 1997 Strategic Economic Development Planning Task Force As a result of the 1995 Growth Management Plan (Comprehensive Plan)update,the Economic Development Authority authorized the formation of a Strategic Economic Development Planning Task Force. The purpose of the Task Force was to identify potential sites for industrial and business park development. The Task Force identified eight sites scattered throughout the City for potential industrial and business park development. One of the sites under consideration was Outlot A of Brentwood. Six of the eight sites • recommended by the Strategic Planning Task Force were rezoned to business park,however as noted in the EDA Minutes from 1997,Area #2 known as Outlot A of Brentwood was not pursued due to the significant public opposition anticipated in trying to develop it as an industrial or business park site. 2002- 2003 Comprehensive Plan Process As the Commission is aware,the City has undertaken a process to amend the Comprehensive Plan for the City. This plan anticipates the complete City build-out and looks as far into the future as 2020- 2025. During the planning process the consultant developed three alternative development concepts;the Guided Growth Concept,the Current Plan Concept, and the Market Trends Concept. These concepts were reviewed by the Task Force as well as the public. Comments regarding the three development scenarios were collected at Public Meeting #3 which occurred on October 15, 2002. The commercial portion of the Market Trends Concept is attached. The commercial discussion notes that the subject parcel is proposed to be guided for Highway Business. The consultant notes that it is a logical extension of the existing commercial district. The Market Trends Concept does however,point out several issues with commercial development at the subject site, noting that east-west access to the site is poor. Two out of the five groups at the Public Meeting noted that this could be a potential commercial site for additional goods and services. At this time,the land use plan under consideration by the Task Force does not designate this site as commercial. • S:\PLANNING\Cue Files\2003\ZC 03-04 Dennis Anderson\7-22 PC memo.doc
