Ke t n , AI PLAN AND PRECISE LAND <br />Planning & Deveilopme& Director USE MAP <br />FROM: Richard Shearer AICP REFERENCES: <br />Chief, Long -Range Planning <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their <br />regular meeting of April 7, 1987. <br />DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS <br />The Planning Department has prepared a Small Area Plan and Precise <br />Land Use Map for the Gifford Area. <br />This plan was prepared after meeting with representatives of the <br />Gifford area over a period of twelve months in order to assess the <br />concerns of the area. During this time, staff also conducted a <br />detailed land use study of the Gifford area and identifed <br />conflicts between the existing land use, the existing zoning, and <br />the Comprehensive Plan policies for regulating the development of <br />lands in MXD areas, and developed a plan based on the detailed <br />analysis and the community's concerns. <br />On February 26, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted <br />4 -to -0 to recommend approval of this plan. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS <br />The analysis of the Gifford area includes a demographic profile of <br />the community; a descriptive analysis of existing land use; and an <br />identification of land use issues in the Gifford area. <br />A detailed land -use proposal and recommendation is made in the <br />form of a "Precise Land -Use Map" (PLUM) for the Gifford area. <br />This PLUM delineates all proposed land uses and related zoning <br />changes. The PLUM is accompanied by written descriptions of the <br />proposed changes and provides justification for the proposed <br />changes. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the analysis of the existing zoning and land use in the <br />Gifford area, staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission recommend the Gifford Small Area Plan and Precise Land <br />Use Map to the Board of County Commissioners as a general guide <br />for future development in the Gifford area. <br />Commissioner Eggert commended the people of Gifford and <br />staff for the extraordinary effort they have put into this. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. <br />48 <br />
