Motion To Establish and Maintain Land Use Planning Process Dennis Drumm, 1536 Taft Court Page -9- Councilman Leary moved, Councilwoman Morris seconded that in order for the City Council of Louisville to establish and maintain a land use planning process consistent with the City's ability to provide services to its residents, and consistent with its short and long range fiscal needs, the Council establishes the following policy: The City shall delay annexing additional land, other than small parcels, until the following objectives have been met: 1) The adoption of the Comprehensive Plan Update initiated in 1981. 2) The adoption of a short and long range fiscal plan for providing water and sewer services. 3) City Council and Planning Commission approval of a master plan for the Homart Development Company's project in the Centennial Valley area. 4) Adoption of the P.U.D. Design Guidelines currently under review by the Planning Commission. 5) Reaffirmation of the current policy of issuing 200 building permits/year or the development of a new policy. Lengthy discussion followed as to ramifica- tions of the motion, clarifying the defini- tion of small parcels, whether or not enclaves only would be allowed for annexation, judg- ing each annexation on its merits, a policy must be set to deal with annexations, short and long term fiscal plan to be worked out in approximately 10 days, proposed meeting with Homart on April 28th, and a policy on issuing building permits. Wished to respectfully submit to the Mayor and Council his feeling that this entire motion was out of order at this time. Strongly felt that a public hearing should be held on the issue. Also respectfully requested that the meeting not be continued, since it would have a definite impact on the City, and perhaps other groups in Louisville would like to comment; reiterated a public hearing should be held.
