City Council Meeting Minutes August 4, 2020 Page 6 of 12 For item B, the cost of city services is to be offset by revenues generated by development but some funds show a fund deficit in the analysis. For item C, conditions have changed from the time of the ConocoPhillips plan approval which is why those plans were abandoned. For item D, staff recommends consideration of citizen input; any policy change should have broad community support. For the GDP amendment staff notes it needs to be consistent with the Comp Plan Policy. The purpose of PCZD zoning is to encourage the use of contemporary land planning principles and coordinated community design. It is also to be an integrated, planned community development of sufficient size to provide various housing types, retail and service activities, and the creation of public facilities. Director Zuccaro stated the Planning Commission reviewed the Comp Plan amendment request in June and they are recommending denial on both that and the GDP. They did not review the GDP amendment in detail but would be willing do so if the Council approved the Comp Plan amendment or remanded the entire proposal back to them. Staff recommends the Council use the public hearing to review the amendment criteria and understand community support of the Comp Plan amendment request. If the Council supports the Comp Plan policy changes staff recommends conditional approval of the GDP. He reviewed staff's GDP conditions and concurrency requirements. He reviewed the options for Council related to the proposal: • Comp Plan Amendment o Direct Staff on Resolution of Approval o Direct Staff on Resolution of Denial o Continue Hearing o Remand to Planning Commission with Direction/Guidance General Development Plan o Approve Ord. 1798, Series 2020 with or without Conditions o Deny Ord. 1798, Series 2020 o Continue Hearing o If Comp Plan Remanded, GDP Could be Remanded As Well Geoff Baukol gave the applicant presentation.
