recommendation was for 1.75 units per acre, and questioned how we would get there with <br />our current buffer requirements, and how we would come up with the extra density. <br />Director Keating explained that this objective is oriented towards <br />encouraging in -fill, and as long as we in -fill developments within the Urban Service Area <br />instead of sprawling it outside, we would get higher density inside, not high, but higher. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan presented his views on the following Policies and <br />Objectives: <br />(1) Commenting on the revised Policies 1.34 and 1.35, which recommended that <br />we double the density bonus from 1 -unit to 2 -units per acre, asked if the 2" d <br />unit per acre could be tied and only via a TDR (Transfer of Development <br />Rights) program. Under the new policy for industrial and commercial zoning, <br />he asked if we could, at some point, create a biotech zoning that would be <br />more appropriate for those types of spin-off businesses so that we can create a <br />node and know that certain businesses would not be in there. <br />(2) Objective 4, the inter -connections between adjacent neighborhoods, he knew <br />that from an EMS point of view it was desirable to have traffic flow from <br />neighborhood to neighborhood, and thought a lot of residents would be <br />opposed if their neighborhoods become a shortcut between two roads. <br />(3) Objective 5, "Diversity of Development," asked why not leave our current <br />target for TNDs at 30% and keep working hard to achieve it instead of <br />lowering the target. <br />7 <br />October 20, 2008 <br />Public Workshop <br />
