BOOK �� Pr1GE to work on, and if it is consistent with what the Governor's Task Force is recommending, it will have residential and non- residential, affordable housing, etc., and they also talk about medium and higher density in these areas. Commissioner Bird wished to know if the Plan is saying that if a large development came in and wanted to do a golf course project, that they also have to accommodate housing for all the help. Director Keating stated they would not if they have the proper zoning. If they are in the Urban Service Area, they don't have to worry about affordable housing or non-residential uses, etc. If they are outside of it now, they are not allowed. The Governor's Task Force says if you are going to have these - build a village and make it so it is almost self-contained and with affordable housing so people who work there can live there. That is why this is much more complicated than a few minor changes to policies.. Mr. Risinger noted that technically local government is not obligated to fund infrastructure beyond the Urban Service Area line, the concept being to focus funds on in -fill development. He wasn't convinced that the county will want to tie development west to changes in their Urban Service Area, and he felt the Urban Expansion Area is how you can have your golf course development without having to pay for the infrastructure. Chairman Eggert asked if a village came in, would we have to change the Urban Service Area, and Director Keating advised that if we write the new policy that we talked about for the nodes, we wouldn't have it related to the Urban Service Area per se. We will write another policy that supersedes Objective 2, and it will be applicable to the Rural area. Chairman Eggert felt staff is saying that they will come back in 6 months with the nodal concept and that will also modify Objective 2, and she felt that probably is the best way to proceed. 112
