City Council Meeting Minutes August 17, 2021 Page 4 of 12 VOTE: Motion passed by unanimous voice vote. ORDINANCE NO. 1811, SERIES 2021 — AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO CONOCOPHILLIPS CAMPUS GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (REDTAIL RIDGE MASTER PLAN) — 2ND READING, PUBLIC HEARING (advertised Daily Camera 7/18/21) continued from 7127121 & 813121 Mayor Stolzmann reopened the public hearing. Director Zuccaro provided information on questions Council had from the last meeting. He noted the property is zoned PCZD and it has to go through a General Development Plan. This process is meant for large properties under single development to direct the overall development before getting into the detailed development plans for specific lots. The criteria for a GDP includes the proposed use of all land in the area; the type or character of development in the area; the proposed locations for public lands; and the proposed location of all streets. The actual land dedication will not formally take place until the final plat process. The minimum public land dedication requirement is 12% for non-residential properties. He compared this public land dedication to other GDPs in the City. This proposal is for a 17% dedication of the total land area. The PUD code allows the Council to require additional land use dedications based on these factors: the comprehensive development plan; topography, drainage, vegetation and other such physical conditions; anticipated socio- economic conditions; type and density of development and employment; and the overall need for open space and recreational facilities. Additionally, the code allows for an additional open space dedication as part of the considerations for a waiver of another requirement. Director Zuccaro reviewed the history of this proposal from 2019 to today. Staff and the open space and park advisory boards reviewed various open space plans. There was a preference to locate the open space and park land in areas with the most undeveloped land and areas with the best habitat. There was a desire to have a buffer between the developed areas and the school and to have a view corridor maintained on the property. He reviewed the proposed public land dedication areas. At the last meeting Council asked for information on the trees on the property. He provided some aerial analysis of the trees and how it lines up with the proposed public land dedication. At the last meeting Council asked if there are regulated wetlands on the property. There is a section of wetlands around the Goodhue Ditch but it is exempt from the Army Corps 404 permitting requirements.
