Comprehensive Plan Amendment Hardwood Creek LLC page 10 • Exhibit B of Resolution 05 -153 includes the text be added to the comprehensive plan, at the end of the Land Use Plan chapter, on page 97. The text amendment describes the Mixed Use category and lists examples of public purposes for guiding land for Mixed Use. The proposed text also summarizes the Hardwood Creek project site ( "West Side of I- 35E "), and then makes it clear that the growth management policy requirement has been addressed with this amendment to the comprehensive plan. • Exhibit B of Resolution 05 -153 also includes text be added to the comprehensive plan in the Planning District 6 section, on page 153. The comprehensive plan breaks the city into planning districts. The Hardwood Creek site is in Planning District 6. The future PUD application will be compared to the recommendations listed for Planning District 6. However, some reference to this site and its Mixed Use designation is appropriate. (5) Text Amendment: The 147 Statement On Page 27 of Comprehensive Plan The comprehensive plan includes a great number of goals, policies, objectives, recommendations, and strategies. The Policy Plan chapter includes a list of growth management goals and policies. Policy number nine is: "Limit residential growth to an average of 147 units per year, carrying a three year supply lot inventory." The growth management ordinance, Ord. 24 -04, provides for amending the comprehensive plan if this target is to be exceeded: An amendment of the comprehensive plan shall be required if, in order to accommodate a specific development project, the annual target for new growth (units /year)...would be exceeded (Section 2, par. 7.). The amendment will include the description of the site in the Mixed Use section, as explained above. However, in order to avoid confusion, it would be advisable to amend the limiting statement itself to provide for the possibility of amendment described in the growth management ordinance. The text amendment includes four examples of public purposes that might justify amending the comprehensive plan to allow growth to exceed the target. These four are taken directly from the growth management ordinance. Incorporating them into the comprehensive plan itself provides consistency between the comprehensive plan and the growth management policy ordinance. • Exhibit B of the Resolution 05 -153 includes text to amend the policy on page 27 of the comprehensive plan.
