The City Planner explained that because the report involves changes that will affect more than 5% of the property in the City, we are required to have two public hearings on the Land Use Element, separately, in addition to the public hearing on the report in its entirety and the ordinance to adopt it. Mayor Piland recessed the Commission Meeting and convened the Dublic hearing for purposes of hearing discussion on the Land Use Element. The City Planner reported that included in our Evaluation and Appraisal Report is the Land Use Element which consists of the narrative in the document and the adopted Land Use MaD. The provisions that are being recommended to be changed involve densities in the ordinance be lowered to reflect the way the City has actually developed. The densities allowed by the Zoning Ordinances have not been reached and in order to preserve the City's character as it has developed we are suggesting reducing densities especially multi-family areas where the maximum could be 16 we are suggesting that be reduced to 12. There would be a reduction in Townhouses from 10 to 9 and would preclude any rezoning to R-l. The other changes we are recommending are that on the western side of the City the commercial area of the City is a strip along S.R. 434 which is not conducive to all types of business - that we take an area along the extension of North Moss Road and create a second larger commercial area that could be utilized for small businesses or office parks and also would solve some of the traffic problems on SR 434. We are suggesting that the City attempt to acquire jurisdiction over all undeveloped county roads in the industrial area north of SR 419 so that we can oversee an improve- ment project to open this area up to greater development As far as the 305 acres is concerned,we have proposed that density be in compliance with Ordinance No. 210 as it stands right now. . - . . . . l Regular Meeting, City Commission, Sept. 14, 1982 Page 2 1981-82-27 We have received comments from the State and they have no objection.
