. . . Planning Commission Minutes July 22, 2003 Page 5 residents. He stated that he concurred with staff's recommendation to approve the land use amendment and rezoning. Chair Pederson noted that it will not be long until the gravel mining to the north of Brentwood is complete and that that area is proposed for industrial development. Commissioner Lemke asked what options the Commission has, and whether or not the land use amendment could be approved but not the rezoning. Director of Planning Michele McPherson stated that the Commission needs to make a recommendation either to approve or deny the request, and if approved by the City Council, the applicant would then submit a prelimin;uy plat application. At that time, issues regarding screening, berming, and access would be addressed. Commissioner Lemke asked if the City would have more options if a Planned Unit Development (PUD) was requested. City Attorney Peter Beck explained that PUD is a zoning and that the applicant chose to request the C3 zoning. Mr. Beck noted that it has been the City's goal to keep the land use and zoning the same, but that it is not absolute to have it the same. Commissioner Anderson stated that he feels that area should be zoned commercial but that the timing of the request is ahead of the update of the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Anderson also expressed concern regarding the traffic traveling east to west. A resident in the audience asked what the next step of the process would be. Director of Planning Michele McPherson explained that the minutes of this meeting would be prepared and presented to the City Council as part of the packet for the August 18th City Council meeting. Discussion followed regarding the requirements for resubmission of an application. City Attorney Peter Beck stated that it was his understanding that an applicant must wait six months to resubmit the same request. Commissioner Offerman stated that he would support the request if it came back as a PUD. Director of Planning Michele McPherson stated that the applicant could submit a different application after the August 18th City Council meeting, if this request was denied.
