Frank Dunbar September 15, 2000 Page 2 A zoning code amendment to create a new zoning district could potentially be scheduled for a public hearing by the Planning Commission at its October 16 meeting, if you make application for that amendment by next Wednesday, September 20. The remaining elements of the application process (items 2-5) relate to the actual site and its planning. It is imperative that,prior to consideration by the Planning Commission,your application is totally complete and staff has had sufficient time to fully review all aspects of the application; it would be our intent to work with you to refine the application so that it meets the City's development requirements. It does not appear that it is possible to accomplish this in time for Planning Commission consideration of the application at its October meeting. If we push to get to the October meeting, there will, almost certainly be unresolved issues that will result in a continuation of the application to the November Planning Commission meeting. A preferred alternative is to submit the application as soon as possible, but to target the November Planning Commission meeting for consideration of the application. During the interim period,staff will work with you to identify issues and refine the proposal to address the issues. This process would include a work session with the Planning Commission in early October to identify issues that can be addressed prior to final application submittal for the November Planning Commission meeting. In addition,a meeting could be held with the neighbors in Sugar Woods to identify and address their concerns. This process would substantially increase the probability that the Planning Commission would be able to forward the application to the City Council for Council consideration in early December. To summarize: 1. Apply for the zoning code amendment no later than 12 noon on Wednesday September 20, to be heard by the Planning Commission on Monday October 16. 2. Apply for the rezoning,Comp Plan amendment,subdivision and CUP for PUD/PRD no later than 12 noon on Wednesday October 18,for consideration by the Planning Commission on Monday November 20. 3. Prior to October 18 and preferably around October 1, we would hope to schedule a work session with the Planning Commission and Council to identify issues and concerns,to assist you in making a more complete application by the October 18 deadline. Based on this scheduling, it would be feasible to have Council consideration of the preliminary plat and PUD at the Council's December 11 meeting.
