Special Joint Meeting - City Council & Planning Commission - 3/8/99
2. Discussion of proposed MOAA Land Use Plan.
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Status. This is a continuation of Council and Planning Commission discussion of the City
Comprehensive plan and the MOAA proposed plan. Subsequent to the previous
Council/Planning Commission meeting both the IDC and the Planning Commission have had
an opportunity to review and comment on the plan. After this meeting, the MOAA will meet
to discuss Council and Township Board input and either adopt a plan or perhaps call for a
final public hearing on a proposed plan.
IDC Input. The IDC reviewed the proposed plan and forwarded a recommendation which is
attached for your review. In development of its recommendation, the IDC looked at the
inventory of industrial land, suitability of land for the proposed use and availability of
utilities. After discussion it was determined that there is sufficient industrial land area that is
better suited for industrial uses along the freeway. Attached for your review is a graphic
showing the MOAA proposed plan and the proposed modifications to the plan as proposed by
the IDC. This proposal represents a compromise between the City's comprehensive plan and
the MOAA plan.
.
PC Input. The Planning Commission has not forwarded a specific response to the plan in its
entirety, however it has responded in opposition to the proposal to convert the Gold Nugget
site to residential. See the PC meeting minutes for detail. Also, the Planning Commission has
forwarded a recommendation to approve the Pine Meadows preliminary plat. Please note that
the Pine Meadows plat includes restrictive covenants that help assure adequate quality and
regulates the pace of growth.
Following are points to keep in mind as you formulate your position.
Conversion of the Gold Nugget site to industrial would be a radical shift from a plan that was
recently updated by the City Council. The current comprehensive plan ofthe city was
formulated in 1995 and adopted in 1996. It was reviewed and supported by the MOAA and
township officials at that time. The Planning Commission conducted numerous meetings and
public hearings and the Plan was adopted unanimously by the City Council. Both private and
public investments in infrastructure and sanitary sewer system design was based on this plan.
Development of the Klein Farms area, and School Campus was predicated on the land use
pattern identified in the current comprehensive plan.
City resident input. An opportunity for city resident input on the MOAA plan may be
provided in conjunction with a future public hearing at the MOAA level. Council may wish
to consider providing city residents an opportunity to make comments to the City Council on
the MOAA plan.
.
......
Other factors to consider relating to Gold Nugget development include. Impact of industrial
traffic on residential areas, holding costs for utilities oversized in anticipation of utilization,
impact on residential development growth rate.
