Planning & Zoning Board April 8, 2009 Page 4 APPROVED MINUTES The Board suggested that staff review and revise th e current regulations for home occupations. Motion carried 4 - 2. (Hyden and Root voting nay.) Staff stated that they intend to accommodate Ms. We inkauf’s intentions for her property. Mr. Smyser addressed the concerns of the residents from Woodridge Lane. He explained that as part of the 49/J Master Plan the city had t o estimate a need for sewer capacity in that area. The area west of Hodgson Road is suitab le for senior housing, which means higher density. Mixed use area housing units are b ased on estimates of what could happen there. Mr. Smyser explained that staff prop oses to add text in the Comp Plan to explain that proposed road designations are not def initive. Staff will have to refer to the 49/J Master Plan in order to verify the estimated n umbers on the east and west sides of Hodgson Road. Mr. Smyser commented on Mr. Joyer’s properties. St aff wanted to make it clear that although the city can make some accommodations for future development, the city cannot change building codes, such as sprinkler req uirements. While staff can amend zoning requirements, they cannot amend building cod e requirements. The city attempts to avoid commercial services in unsewered areas. S taff will need to determine what type of expansion may be allowed in the future prior to utility service availability. Staff did not say that they will be able to accommodate all r equests prior to utilities being available. Mr. Hyden made a MOTION to recommend that Mr. Joyer ’s 18-acre property (PIN 04- 31-22-34-0001) and the adjoining 2-acre parcel to t he east (PIN 04-31-22-34-0002) be included in the Stage 1A development area in the Dr aft 2030 Comprehensive Plan.
