Thompson Ms. Brantmeyer Mr. Johns Mr. Fischer Mr. Schulke EXCUSED: Mr. Goldstein Mr. Barnes Bruce Cooper, Director of Community Development/ Building official Dorri Bosworth, Secretary ANNOUNC~MEN~S~ None O~D BUSINESS: None NEW BUSINESS: Mr. Cooper reviewed with the Board that the City has until January of 1997 to submit the updated Comprehensive Plan document to the Department of Community Affairs. He suggested the review be chapter by chapter; Goals, Objectives and Policies along with Data and Analysis. The. Data and Analysis book quantifies the measures the Board is trying to set forth for the City. Chapter One, Land Use, will be an important chapter that will take the most time and consideration. Tonight's meeting should be to set the plan of attack, what to review and look at changes. One example is Multi-family zoning. The zoning is needed but the quantities and the restraints of the current plan make it impossible to repeat what occurred regarding the sandmining at Vickers Grove and the removal of areas q~o~L~ zoning because it was not economically feasible t~k~~OMW~ON APPROVED ~ DATE ~ APPROVED~USJECT TO ~, --' PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING OF MAY 22, .1995 PAGE, TWO specifications of amount of zones possibly being eliminated is one item to be discussed during the review of the current plan. The Comprehensive Plan is like a bible to go by, required to have by the State, but basically just good measures for the City to follow set up by themselves. Mr. Johns asked staff to review how the Comprehensive Plan was developed, why the City has one, and how does the State use it and enforce it? Mr. Cooper explained the State may take sanctions against the City if it fails to comply with the Comp. Plan, but it does not necessarily enforce the Plan. It is actually individuals that may sue the City if they feel the Plan has not been followed. The Comprehensive Plans have been around for a long time but it wasn't until the 1985 Growth Act that the Plans had any teeth in them. The State wanted the infrastructure plans for each municipality to be in place before the cities submitted any changes (land use, re-zoning, etc). The State reviews the Comp. Plan documents to see if they comply with their codes. Mr. Johns questiOned the Comp Plan's goal of having a master stormwater drainage plan in place by 1994 that was not met. Could a resident take action against the City because of this if he had major drainage problems on his property and no plan was in place? Mr. Cooper stated whether the plan was in place or not, the resident had a right to take action against the City if they felt it was liable. He suggested in their review, the Board be realistic and not. make any goals that will be hard to keep. Mr. Shroyer suggested the Board lay out a plan for the next couple of meetings so the members can come prepared and have an idea of what each meeting will consist of. He would like to know how many meetings each chapter will take approximately. The Board discussed how many extra meetings a monththey would like to have to get thrOugh the Comp. Plan review. It was decided to have 1 special meeting called each month, and continue the review after each regular meeting, time permitting. Mr. Cooper will present a tentative schedule with the amount of meetings each chapter should take at the June 1st regular meeting. Mr. Cooper began a brief review of Chapter I in the Goals, Objectives, and Policies. Mr. Schulke questioned if the Board would be making, any changes in the Plan or just updating information? Mr. Cooper stated the Board was allowed to add new goals and directions in planning along with correcting data(such PLANNIN,~ AND ZONING COMMISSION S.pECIAL MEETING......OF MAY 22. 199~ PAGE THRE~ as the Riverfront Stud¥information) and making the Plan compatible with changes made in the Land Development Code such as COR .District, Airport Industrial zoning, Nuisance Abatement Standards, RM-8 to RM-9, Mobile Home Development, etc. The Data and Analysis book will have tO be changed to reflect any map changes such as boundary changes, zoning changes, population updates, etc. Mr. Johns asked if staff was going to incorporate all the changes? Mr. Cooper stated yes. He was going to contact Mr. Les Solin, author of the Comp. Plan, to get the necessary disks and get the Plan formatted in our computers. Again, after a discussion, it was the consensus of the Board to allow time after the regular meetings, instead of setting time before each meeting, for the Comp. Plan review. Setting up dates for the special meetings was to be put on the agenda of the June 1st meeting. ADJOUP. NMENT: Chairman Thompson adjourned the meeting at 7:22 p.m.
