Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I move that we forward to the City Council recommending approval of Item 14 on our agenda, CUP 03-060, request for a Conditional Use Permit for a planned development for single family residential use with reduced setbacks, lot frontages, house sizes, and increased block length for proposed Sheridan Place Subdivision by Doug Campbell, north of East McMillan Road and east of North Locust Grove Road, to include all staff comments of their memo for the hearing date of April 1, 2004, received by your city clerk March 25, 2004, with no changes, other than to reference, again, the change that we previously made on the police department conditions that on paragraph 18 we have added an additional sentence, alternate compliance, may be made with narrower islands and street bulb outs. End of motion. Rohm: Second. Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Borup: Thank you. That does conclude that item. I would like to take another short break, if anyone else is of the same mind. Okay. We will take a short break at this time. (Recess.) Item 15: Public Hearing: CPA 04-001 Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment to add a Land Use Consistency Matrix to Meridian's Comprehensive Plan by The City of Meridian Planning and Zoning Department: Borup: Okay. We are ready to reconvene, if we can get the audience to quiet down. Next item is CPA 04-001, Public Hearing request for a Comprehensive Plan amendment to add Land Use Consistency Matrix to Meridian's Comprehensive Plan. I think we have all got a copy of that. We'd like to go ahead and turn that over for staff report. Kirkpatrick: All right. Chairman, Members of the Commission, I know you all have seen this already twice before and you have the most up-to-date copy of the matrix that are in your packets. Basically, this would be modification of the Comprehensive Plan by adding a land use matrix. I wanted to point out and, actually, add a note td the matrix if we end up approving this, that this doesn't allow any changes -- any zone changes outright, rather the applicant would be required to submit a rezone application to come in and for these -- for these zone changes. So, it would function kind of the way when you ask for a step up in density on the Comprehensive Plan, with the designation of low Meridian Planning & Zoning April t, 2004 Page 79 of 89 density residential you can come in and ask with your rezone for a step up to medium density residential. This would be similar that none of these uses that were not already allowed outright on the land use map in the Comprehensive Plan would be -- I'm really tired here -- would be allowed -- the applicant would be allowed to apply through a rezone application for these. The most significant change here was probably the most impact from -- the most impact on applications coming through would be in residential areas located on major arterials or in section line roads, they could request to have light office zoning is probably going to be the most significant change here. And I do want to -- if you do end up approving this, we want to add a note to the matrix, because it's -- the staff report would not actually become a part of the Comprehensive Plan, it would just be this matrix, so we need to add a note stating that all rezone requests not complying with Comprehensive Land Use Map will require a rezone application, so we can wordsmith that a little bit. We want to make sure that that note is actually on the matrix. Or, actually, we could just have language any zone change requires a rezone application. That's simpler. Any questions of staff? No? Borup: None at all? Zaremba: This is the second time in a month I have had no questions Kirkpatrick: Okay. Rohm: You did a good job. Zaremba: Yes. Thank you. Outstanding. Do we need to hear from -- Borup: Well, Iguess -- Zaremba: The other people out in the -- Borup: This is a hearing for the public and we have -- Zaremba: Shall I go out in the street and see if I can recruit somebody to come in? Borup: That discussion was because there is no one -- we do not any public remaining at this point, so -- Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I move that the Public Hearing on CPA 04-001 be closed. Moe: Second. Borup: Motion and second to close the hearing. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Meridian Planning 8 Zoning April 1, 2004 Page BO of 89 Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, I move that we forward to the City Council recommending approval of CPA 04-001, request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment to add a land use consistency matrix to Meridian's Comprehensive Plan by the City of Meridian Planning and Zoning Department, to include all staff comments of their memo of April 1, 2004, received by the city clerk March 29th, 2004. Moe: And her note; correct? Don't we want to add one note to the bottom of that? Kirkpatrick: It would become number six on the consistency matrix. Zaremba: I missed that. Tell me again -- we are adding number six? Kirkpatrick: That would be a rezone application is required for all zone changes. So there is no misinterpretation that these zones were allowed outright. Zaremba: Adding onto the page that actually shows the matrix -- Kirkpatrick: Correct. Zaremba: -- a footnote, paragraph six, just what Wendy said. Kirkpatrick: Okay. Rohm: Second. Borup: Motion and second. All in favor? Any opposed? MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. Item 16: Additional Discussion. Borup: Okay. Item No. 16. Powell: Chairman Borup, Members of the Commission, there was two items that at the beginning of the night I remembered I wanted to talk to you about. I can't remember what the second one is any longer. Maybe somebody will help me out. But the first one was regarding the draft zoning ordinance. Yes, it's real and, actually, Mr. Zaremba has a copy with him, if you're interested. I have asked Dave -- well, let's see. Some of you may be familiar with the mayor's process improvement group. This group existed I think a couple years ago and has since disbanded for awhile, but the mayor pulled it back together again and conversations with her last week -- so this was a very quick turn around -- we decided that a good project for the process improvement group would be to review the draft ordinance and I just had recently gotten a copy of that in my hand. So, three days later we had a meeting with the process improvement group, so just I handed them a real rough draft of the new zoning ordinance and we -- on that group we had representatives from the Building Contractors Association -- we are coercing a
