City Council Meeting Minutes June 2, 2015 Page 12 of 27 Council member Lipton suggested more discussion after staff had a chance to study and flesh it out. Mayor Muckle asked if Council was willing to let staff go forward with current suggestions. City Manager Fleming summarized. The market altemative is off the table. There is a question on the currently allowed about how realistic it is, based on the maximum build - out per current zoning. The analysis should look more closely at individual parcels of land to determine what might develop. He noted this would likely bring the numbers down somewhat in all three categories. Mayor Muckle suggested looking at what is realistic and creating an alternative option. Council member Keany suggested some Planning Commission members and Council members work with staff to move the process along. Mayor Muckle supported directing staff to compare existing, entitled and a new blended option. Council member Stolzmann wanted not "entitled" but a "likely estimate" and c alling it a workshop blend. Mayor Muckle noted Council is asking staff to proceed to next level of study by comparing existing land use, a likely estimate and a workshop blend. QUESTIONS FOR MCCASLIN BOULEVARD SMALL AREA PLAN SURVEY Continued from 03/17/2015 & 5/19/15 Mayor Muckle requested a staff presentation. Council member Keany asked if Council s hould proceed with the McCaslin survey if the South Boulder Road Small Area Plan is not progressing. Council member Stolzmann supported the suggestion with the idea of learning from the first process. Council member Lipton wanted to be realistic about how long South Boulder Road would take. If McCaslin is delayed, the Council may have to react to not what is wanted but what is already there. He suggested moving forward. Planning and Building Safety Director Russ suggested for the South Boulder Road Plan, staff only look at the allowed land uses from a zoning perspective and strictly from a design perspective. He noted with the principles there is no reason to look at the different land use scenarios. The community expressed wanting a more walkable environment and enjoyed what they saw in the Alfalfa's development design. He suggested in the SBR small area a plan to divorce zoning from design. The market will dictate development on the corridor and he didn't want to delay the McCaslin corridor planning.
