Outstanding Issue(s) for City Council:
17. This item was held over to re-notice a substantial change from the draft approved by P &Z. Notice
was sent out proposing a mixed use or commercial designation instead of residential on the NW and
NE comers of Linder and Ustick.
18. The City received one letter from the property owners south of Ustick regarding their desire to be
included in the change ofland use designations. As was noted previously, this was outside the study
area boundary which begins north of U stick.
19. Staff also received telephone several inquiries regarding the proposed change. Two homeowners in
the area were generally opposed to the mixed use designation. The developer's representative for
Windsong inquired about the change in designation. We also spoke with the site designer for the NE
comer property.
Findings: Yes-for the comprehensive plan amendment application. NOTE: If there is a motion for
approval tonight, it needs to include directing legal staff to prepare a resolution adopting the amendment.
