Zack Carlton, Planning Manager
■ Land Use Amendment to amend Land Use
Reviewed by
Map, Case No. LU 16 -02
Action Requested
Recommend, by motion, approval of the Land Use Amendment as proposed.
Background /Discussion
The city is seeking a Land Use Amendment creating a new and updated Land Use Map. In 2014, the city
adopted an updated Comprehensive Plan. As part of the Comprehensive Plan, a Land Use Map was
generated to be utilized by the Planning Commission and City Council when making land use decisions.
The graphic quality and legibility of the map, especially when enlarged, is poor. Staff began the process
of converting the map into a digital format that can be easily read at any scale. During that process, staff
noticed many minor errors with the map. A majority of the errors were related to the Open Space
designation where many of our parks did not fall into that category or with Public /Institutional properties
that were labeled Open Space.
Because of the errors and subsequent land use amendments since 2014, staff is requesting the city adopt
the proposed Land Use Map as the official Land Use Map.
On the attached exhibit, the properties staff is recommending changes to have a blue revision cloud
drawn around them with blue letters in /near them. The letters indicate the land use as approved on the
2014 map, while the fill color is the proposed land use.
If the Planning Commission, when reviewing the proposed Land Use Map, notices any other errors or
areas that should be considered, please let staff know.
