Task Force Meeting Minutes January 30, 2003 Page 2 Land Use Concepts The consultant presented the following topics as a follow up on items that were raised at the joint City Council and Planning Commission meeting on January 14 that need to be clarified prior to the public meeting on February 20, 2003. The items discussed and their associated recommendations included the following: · Do the concepts present appropriate uses for the development of gravel mining areas? Recommendation: Incorporate a greater mix of uses including more residential, commercial and light industrial uses and to remove the notion of a "regional park" on the guided growth concept. · How should the concepts present the need for public parks? Recommendation: Parks should be addressed from a policy and "service needs" standpoint and should not be identified on the guided growth or market based land use concepts. · Do the concepts adequately provide for future commercial development needs? Recommendation: Commercial nodes at 165~ Avenue and Highway 10 and CR 33 and Highway 169 should be expanded in the guided growth concept. The neighborhood commercial node should be moved south into the existing in the urban expansion area. · Should existing single-family neighborhoods around the Downtown be included in the Central Business District land use category? Recommendation: Rename the designation in the guided growth concept from Central Business District to Old Town and amend the written description to better describe preservation of existing character, residential housing diversity, restoration and revitalization as key objectives.
