.�'.IN's�'BaGnt:. The afipE'rcant is in favon of Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA11-
,�,�;, 0002. The�'app,licat oih.is,the first step in moving forward.virith the sub-area plan
� process for the�pprox'i115ate 871 acres of land within the City. Approximately 200
��%acres is being adaed to tliesub-area plan. The Mt. Rainier Vista is a separate
``,�`�'.�p�posed specia�l�an area and is included within the 871 acres. The applicant feels
�he�ext amendme�:is necessary given the request to add eight (8) additional
pa�IS;.�The Co n;rehensive Plan has a limit on the number of unRs 4ha4 can be part
of the`SpBpi�I,..�Px��.'X`n Process in the current language and with an additional 200 acres
added to�s ecial plan area the previous dwelling unit limit is no longer
appropriate�
Ms. Balint does not believe the eighth (8`") parcel along the Kersey Way and 53rO will
be directly adjacent to the Koch's property. The public notice boards required by the
CRy were posted in two locations to infortn the public. Ms. Balint and Segale
Properties, LLC appreciates the public's concem as to the use of the property; the
purpose of the sub-area/special area plan is to determine the future appropriate use
of the property with the public's concems in mind. WRh 871 acres, a large amount of
property, there would be flexibility in arranging uses within the designated area.

Segale Properties, LLC requests approval of these amendments as modified by staff
recommendations.
Commissioner Peace asked if industrial uses were included in staffs
recommendations(provided in the packet). Principal Planner Dixon stated they were
not listed but could be included by staff within this amendment as a text addition if
Commission directs staff to include the addition as paR of the amendment.
Commissioner Chapman asked staff if the parcels designated as residential
conservancy could be changed to single family residence. Principal Planner Dixon
stated the special area designation is establishing the spe�.i�l area plan limits; which
is essentially a study area, it does not make a change{S�underlying calored land
use designations. The study area provides the app�.'�}t?and the City a chance to
investigate and detertnine what the appropriate {Cc�"l' ° "°'ensive Plan designation

:.;:.. the City of Ai�bLFn to Fi�avhat it needs for this area. Mr. Koch pointed out the fifth

Commiss'ton;atid move ahead. To just make this approval in mass I may be losing
my future ngh�ts. He indicated his concem is similar to what Commissioners Peace
and Chapman expressed; down a path commission has approved these activities
when there was no basis for it. This is a ques4ion as much as a comment.
After hearing comment.from the public on GPA11-0002 Chair Roland closed the
public hearing at 8:05 p.m.
Principal Planner Dixon clarified this text amendment only mod�es the purpose and
description narratives of the special area plan in a manner that allows the applicant
to go forward with additional study and evaluation for suitable uses and what
3

infrastructure is needed to support the future uses as the special area plan is
developed. The amendment does not provide zoning code changes.
CommissionerOsbome stated he felt it would be a mistake not to include the various
uses since the special plan area includes 871 acres with a lot of buffer around. It
could be used for an appropriate type of light industrial and we would not want to
exclude light industry that is contained within a building. Not including options could
be detrimentai for 4he entire 871-acre project.
Chair Roland clarified the recommendation is to add eigM (8) parcels to the Stuck
River Road Special Plan Area. �.'.c;.�.
