8.1 PCSR 08-26-2014 Eiti,,, Request for Action ver To Item Number Planning Commission 8.1 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Worksession August 26, 2014 Jeremy Barnhart, Deputy Director, CODD Item Description Reviewed by Discuss Focused Area Study zoning Reviewed by Action Requested Receive proposed Ordinance,review, and provide comment in September. Overview When the Focused Area Study (FAST) was approved in 2010,it anticipated the evolution of the area from rural highway dominated businesses and patterns to a more urban environment. This evolution is and will continue to be triggered by changes in housing and development, Highway 10 access, and the commuter rail station. The FAST study identified an avenue in which the property owners could adapt to these changes,while ultimately maximizing the value of their property and operating successful, sustainable businesses. The Comprehensive Plan, approved in May,incorporated the FAST Study,requiring modifications to the zoning ordinance. The proposed ordinance creates a new zoning district, the Southern Twin lakes Road Business District, and as closely as possible follows the goals and objectives of the FAST study,including the development of sub-zones within the plan area. Each subzone has a purpose statement, a list of uses,bulk regulations (setbacks,heights,lot coverage) and design standards. The purpose of the item on Tuesday is to begin the discussion of the uses appropriate to the given area, more information will be provided at the meeting. Financial Impact None Attachments • Draft ordinance POWEREI 81 NATURE The Southern Twin Lakes Road Business District The Southern Twin Lakes Road Business District is established to provide land use, architectural, and bulk regulations to the 900 acres of property located along the southern end of Twin Lakes Road, near its intersection with Highway 10. The District is intended to incorporate the findings and recommendations developed from the 171st Focused Area Study and as amended from time to time. Because of the diverse range of activities envisioned within the district, all within a common master plan, zoning is regulated through the development of sub-zones. The subzones are: The Point East Elk River Gateway The Hinge Office Village Station Area Village Hillside Heights The Pinnacle The Point District a. Purpose. The Point, a subzone of the 171"Focused Area Plan,is established to provide an environment for High density residential development, maximizing the recreational and aesthetic benefits of the river.

There is a concern with chemicals and Asbestos containing materials. You may be able to avoid excavation if you place a parking lot over it. If you need to excavate for the future buildings, environmental oversight may be needed to ensure proper offsite disposal. More on this later. Matt.

I will note the presence of the old farmhouse foundation and rubble to the EDA. I assume this will require additional development costs, but do you have a concern with old chemicals or similar?
