that would create the need for having a traffic impact analysis report done. So that would happen <br />when they would come in for the plan approval. It is problematic because it is unusual to have a <br />rezoning request come in without a specific plan. <br /> <br />So I just wanted you to understand that it is different, it is unusual, and that we did have, you know, <br />considerable discussion within the department but ended up basically going with the fact that it was <br />consistent with General Plan, consistent with the Community Development Plan, even if we didn't <br />know exactly what was going to go in on the space. <br /> <br />KERN: Thank you, Madam Director. Any questions for the Director on that? Okay, seeing none, I’d <br />be willing to entertain a motion. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: More comment, I just wanted to see where we are at with the, well, there's no plan so <br />they have got to come back to us if they wanted to, no? <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD: No. They don't come back to the Planning Commission. If they get their zoning, <br />they don't go back to the County Council either. If they get their zoning then when they, at some point <br />in time -- and it may be that they end up selling the property and somebody else comes in and they <br />decide they are going to put up a store, or they're going to put up some other structure, anything that is <br />permitted within the list of the zoning designation -- they would then have to come in for plan approval <br />from the County. And that is where they have to come in and show the lot, show the layout, show <br />where the parking is going to be. And the amount of parking that we would require would be based <br />upon the square footage of the building that they were going to build. And at that point we would be <br />looking at whether they needed to do additional studies, additional mitigation. There would be, their <br />plans would be sent up for comment to the other departments, and so you might have comments come <br />in from DPW. And so as part of plan approval there might be requirements that they do a left-turn <br />pocket lane, that they do some mitigation, curb, gutter, sidewalk; and all of that would be incorporated <br />into the plan approval stage. <br /> <br />The reason we ended up recommending approval even though there wasn’t a plan is because we <br />looked at the fact that even if somebody came in and said, hey, this is what I’m going to build today, <br />with the zoning down the road they could change it. Just like it changed from a super market to Longs, <br />Burger King and Kentucky Fried Chicken and the service station, even though it originally was going <br />to be a super market. <br /> <br />KERN: Julie? <br /> <br />MECKLENBURG: Yeah, I just wanted to clarify for the Commissioners’ benefit that the options at <br />this point for you are to move to forward a favorable recommendation for the change of zone to the <br />County Council. The Council is the one who is going to make the final decision. You can also <br />propose to forward a negative recommendation, or you can move to continue the matter. We would <br />have to have staff -. There is a requirement that the application be considered within 90 days or it is <br />deemed an unfavorable recommendation, unless you get the agreement of the applicant to continue to <br />take a longer time. So if we could maybe ask the staff where we are in relation to the 90-day <br />requirement. <br /> <br />9 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> <br /> <br />
