PC- ~ ~ Page 3 September 2, 1997 Your Committee amended Condition D of Bill No. 129 by adding language requiring that the APD shall not exceed seven lots and Condition H clarifying the intent and purpose of APD district by the following: 1. Requiring that the subject property be subdivided into no more than seven (7) lots; 2. Clarifying that 85% of the total land azeas within each proposed lot be retained in its existing orchazd use or other agricultural uses such as crop production, floriculture, nurseries and similaz uses dealing with the growing of plants; and 3. Clarifying that prior to any new proposed agricultural use other than the existing or permitted uses identified in H(2), the new proposed use will be considered as an amendment to the APD and processed for Council approval. Recognizing that the Agricultural Project District (APD) is similar to the concept of a Planned Unit Development (PUD), the APD allows flexibility in lot sizes and improvements to infrastructure with the intent that agriculture will be preserved. It also grants the Council the authority rather than the administration to set any limits or conditions. Each application would be considered on a case by case basis. Many of the restrictions for the APD which were proposed by the applicant, is intended to allow the diversification of ownership and stewazdship of the land which will result in the substantial preservation of the existing orchazd and opportunities for residential use. Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the intent and purpose of Bill No. 129, Draft 2, and recommends that it pass first reading.
