Joint Meeting with Economic Development Authority and Planning Commission to Discuss <br />the Focused Area Studv <br />Mr. Barnhart introduced the topic and turned the presentation over to HKGi staff member <br />Bryan Harjes. <br />Mr. Harjes reviewed the proposed land use changes for the Focused Area Study <br />Development Framework. He asked all in attendance to discuss and agree upon the drafted <br />land uses. To avoid any confusion, the land use terms used on this framework diagram are <br />different than those used for the City's current land use or zoning maps and so therefore, <br />land use terms were outlined in the staff report from HKGi. <br />After discussion, all agreed to the following changes to the land use distribution: <br />- Existing residential along Yale will extend to the river, with narratives included in <br />the final document that support the addition of trail connections in the future. <br />- Destination retail extended east from the future interchange to the eastern <br />boundary of the Gateway property. The northern boundary of this is the wetland. <br />- Jobs area added to the land between the wetlands, along the new Twin Lakes Road. <br />• <br />
