Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final March 16, 2021 Chief of Current Development Ryan Sweeney addressed Commissioner Adams' concern regarding the entrance and exit of the Griffon North Project, if the Griffon South Project does not move forward. Vice Chairman O'Bryan and Commissioner Earman sought and received information from staff regarding the increased landscape buffers between the existing residential areas, the tentative plans for the Griffon South Project, and followed up with the difference between the traffic flow of a single-family residence versus multi -family residence. In response to the questions raised by the Vice Chairman and Commissioner Earman, Community Development Director Phil Matson highlighted the project's landscape buffer from existing residential areas, and distinguished the difference in the traffic flow of a single-family versus multi -family residence, stating a multi -family unit could be served easier through public transportation, generated less traffic, maintained connectivity, and provided an opportunity to make less trips via another mode. Steve Moler, Vice President of Masteller, Moler & Taylor, Inc., spoke on the proposed Griffon North Project, stating the 300 foot setback for the multi -family units were built into the plan. Additionally, an acquired easement from the Pine Creek Community would allow a road to cross between the Griffon North and South Projects. Vice Chairman O'Bryan commented for full transparency that he had run into Mr. Moler over the weekend, but there was no discussion of the project. Chairman Flescher opened the public hearings. There being no speakers, the Chairman closed the hearing. A motion was made by Commissioner Adams, seconded by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, to approve staffs recommendations and adopt Ordinance 2021-006, amending the zoning ordinance and the accompanying zoning map from RS -6, Residential Single -Family (up to 6 units/acre), to PD, Planned Development, for approximately 27.69 acres of land generally located on south of 26th Street, approximately 1,660 feet east of 82nd Avenue and described herein and providing for an effective date.
