PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES December 16, 1992 PAGE 2 OF 3 Alexander and Bill Anabel, herself and also noted that Gay Knutson and John Pope were unable to attend. Margaret Crawford began the presentation by explaining the work that has been completed since their last workshop. The Committee has reviewed all of the public testimony received at the previous Planning Commission public hearings and began reviewing each of the changes recommended by staff. They have completed the review up to the Land Use Map. The Committee has accepted the general concept of "shouldtt versus "shall" unless "shall" has been seriously considered and consciously left in the policy. They have also decided it is appropriate to use "encourage" in certain policies. Some of the issues specifically discussed by the Committee included the alternate local crosstown route, industrial development, downtown retail, and the designation of residential density designations on the Land Use Map. After general discussion between the Commission and the Committee on these issues, the Committee indicated they did not know if the Commission wanted them to continue with their review and revision or if they wanted to take it from here and consequently asked for direction from the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission discussed the matter and decided the Committee should continue on and complete their review and the Commission will get started with their review of the portion the Committee has completed to date. The Planning Commission began a discussion on the issue of residential density designations on the Land Use Map with concern being expressed that this will in essence be a zone change without the property owners being notified. There was some disagreement on how and when the Zoning Map and the Comprehensive Plan Map needs to be consistent. Commissioner Leonard left the meeting at 7:00. There was also some discussion on the plus and minuses of a grid street pattern and how it could be continued as the primary street pattern. There was no consensus arrived on any issues at this time. The GMAC Committee scheduled their next meetings for December 30th, January 6th, and January 13th, 1993. The Planning Commission decided it would be beneficial to have a list of major issues they need to discuss in reviewing the Draft Comprehensive Plan . . .
