Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This:
Please refer to the Annexation Staff Report included in this same agenda packet (Item 14-A-i).
Options and Alternatives:
The City Council may approve the resolution as proposed, approve the resolution with conditions, or deny the resolution.
Background and History:
Please see the Annexation Staff Report included in this same agenda packet (Item 14-A-i).
Key Considerations:
The Future Growth Illustration has two types of land use designations: “Area Types” describe the placemaking context of Urban, Suburban, Rural, or Employment and “Place Types” such as activity centers, corridors and neighborhoods provide the framework for the density, intensities, and mix of uses within the area types. This application proposes to change the area type of “Areas in White retain their existing entitlements” but not the place type for this project. “Areas in White retain their existing entitlements” is used to describe areas that have not been assigned an area type. In most cases, these parcels are public lands held by the Forest Service or City. With this request the existing Area in White will, if approved, be assigned the Parks/Open Space area type.
Community Involvement:
Community benefits and considerations related to this request are addressed in more detail in the attached Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report, dated February 3, 2017.
