Unanimous Motion Carried
A.City Planner's Power Point presentation regarding the status of
Vision 2020 recommendations.
The City Planner stated his presentation was in response to Commissioner's
Bertrand's letter asking for an update on Vision 2020 due in part to recent
discussions where Vision 2020 goals had been referenced. The purpose of Vision
2020 was to state the community goals and as a guideline for economic
development. A Land Use plan was recommended which would be 80 percent
residential and 20 commercial. It was noted that recent large developments had
density rates of 1. 7 homes per acre where as Vision 2020 had projected density
rates of 2.1 to 2.4. The Director noted that the lower density for residential
development was due to the economic demand for larger homes on larger lots.
Build out will occur sometime between 2015 and 2020.
Commissioner Be1trand asked what pro-active approached the Commission could
take to follow the Vision 2020 guidelines. The Director stated that the Economic
Development Co ordinator, Karen Capps, was the best tool to achieve 2020 goals.
Ms. Capps also suggested that a written policy be put in place against the down
zoning of current commercial and industrial zones in order to achieve land usage
goals of 80 percent residential and 20 percent commercial.
5.Adjournment.
With no further comment, the meeting was adjourned at 8:30 P.M.lZI:�
