• Planning Commission 471-97: O'Neil Property • March 8, 1997 Page 3 screen theater and office buildings, no other uses would be permitted on the property without approval of a PUD amendment, which would go through the same process as a rezoning request. As part of the review of this project, two neighborhood meetings were held. Approximately 35 citizens attended the meeting on December 12, 1996 and 150 citizens attended the meeting on January 15, 1997. Summaries of these meetings are attached (Attachments 10 and 11). Comments from citizens were used to identify issues which needed to be addressed in this review. Most of those issues are covered in the rezoning section of this report. Analysis: A. Comprehensive Plan Amendment History: Other Planning Efforts: The 1979 Comprehensive Plan (approved by the City Council on July 26, 1982) divided the City into 12 planning districts, and included a map showing proposed land use for each district. The O'Neil property is located in District 1. The 1979 map shows this property proposed for medium density residential development. A copy of the map and the text dp which accompanied the map is in Attachment 1 to this report. From this point, a series of efforts were undertaken to update the Comprehensive Plan and gain consistency between the Comprehensive Plan and zoning, which are described in below. We have included this history to give the Planning Commission an indication of the thinking which has occurred about District 1 and the O'Neil property. • 1983: A series of Planning Commission discussions were held on lots where the zoning and comprehensive plan designations were in conflict, in particular along Highway 10. It is not known how the situation on the O'Neil property was viewed. • 1986-1989: The Comprehensive Plan Update '88 was prepared and a series of joint City Council and Planning Commission meetings were held on this document. The copies on file do not have district maps with land use. The differences between comprehensive plan designations and zoning designations is discussed as an issue, and the list of properties in this situation includes the O'Neil property. There is a discussion of the problems associated with down zoning properties. The 1988 Update includes a Trunk Highway 10 Corridor Plan which places the O'Neil property in the "Community Center District". A map and description of this district is in Attachment 2. Revised text for District 1 was prepared in 1989, which said much less than the earlier description. It is included as Attachment 3. Not adopted. 0 ■ 1990: A Comprehensive Plan Update '90 was prepared and transmitted to the City Council and Planning Commission on July 13, 1990. The O'Neil property was shown for highway commercial and medium density residential with the dividing line being more-or-
