PUBLIC HEARING TO TARE PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING ADOPTION OF INTERCHANGE LAND USE AND MARKET STUDY AS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT Mr. Miller explained that the Freeway Interchange Land Use and Market Study is a comprehensive plan amendment for land adjacent to the city's two (2) freeway interchanges. The plan makes specific recommendations for development in areas adjacent to both interchanges. Mr. Miller noted that the property owners were included in the preparation of the plan and meetings with them were held last summer. The draft plan has been reviewed by the DRB and the EDC and both recommend approval of the plan. Mr. Miller noted that the plan makes specific recommendations regarding development. He outlined the five (5) specific recommendations: 1) the need for a "Planned Development" overlay for the full interchange areas; 2) any proposal for a gasoline service station by definition must be part of a larger "Planned Development "; 3) require roadway re- alignments to better serve both interchange sites; 4) extend the Rural - Business Reserve District to Main Street at the I -35E interchange, and 5) emphasize commercial /retail development at the I -35W site and industrial development at the I -35E site with supporting retail and service activities. Mr. Miller used the overhead projector to outline the study areas at I -35E and I -35W. He particularly noted the proposed re- alignment of Lilac Street because of the concern by the state and county regarding the short distance of this street from I -35W. This would allow for better use of the land at the northwest corner of that freeway. Acting Mayor Reinert opened the public hearing at 7:53 P.M. There was no comment from the public.
