Mayor Broening suggested setting some ground rules for the public hearing. He would like
someone to give a synopsis of the Land Use Amendment process, have a time for the
Commissioners to give their comments and then have the public comments.
After some discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission that public comment at the
Commission meeting would not be limited (,i.e., anyone who wishes to speak may do so).
However, attendees would be encouraged to appoint one spokesperson from each
neighborhood or organization. It will depend on how many people wish to speak whether each
person will be limited to 2 or 3 minutes. Mayor Broening volunteered to telephone
neighborhood representatives before the Commission meeting to encourage appointing one
spokesperson from each neighborhood.
There was discussion regarding two options for implementation of the Land Use Amendments -
one with recommendations to change the land use designation in the shaded area of the exhibit
to Nixed Use and one that retains the current Low Density Residential parcels as Low Density
Residential with the remainder as Nixed Use.
Quintus Greene, Development Director, stated that the Commission has the authority to reduce
the area proposed for Nixed Use. The entire area has been advertised as a proposed change
and the Commission can be shown options on the map at the Commission meeting.
When it was asked what the outcome would be if there was a 2 to 2 vote on this item, Assistant
City Attorney Payne stated it would not pass.
