• To: Chair Rahn&Planning Commissioners <br /> From: Mike Gaffron, Planning Director <br /> Date: March 16, 2007 <br /> Subject: ADDENDUM TO MARCH 13 MEMO <br /> Stonebay Outlot A- re: Harvest Moon Co-op <br /> Clarification re�ardin� the relationship between the City's current comprehensive plan <br /> amendment application and the potential develo�ment of a food co-op on the propert� <br /> We have received a number of inquiries as to whether the Harvest Moon Food Co-op is <br /> on Monday's agenda. Although staff recently met with the property owners along with <br /> representatives of the bank and the food co-op,no application has yet been made. <br /> It is important to keep in mind that, whether the Planning Commission recommends <br /> approval or denial of the comprehensive plan amendment currently before you, any <br /> application to develop the property for a food co-op will still need to include a new <br /> comprehensive plan amendment. The purpose of the current amendment is not to review <br /> potential uses for Outlot A, but to "undo" the changes adopted in 2004 that allowed <br /> specific retail uses under defined conditions where only office was previously allowed. <br /> • Planning Commission should note that the scope of this amendment initiated by the City <br /> Council is very narrow and was not intended as an exploration of what retail uses might <br /> be acceptable. <br /> It is also important to clarify that the Planning Commission's approval or denial of the <br /> current comprehensive plan amendment will not affect the ability of an applicant to apply <br /> for a new comprehensive plan amendment to allow the property to be developed with a <br /> food co-op. If you have any questions about this, please call me prior to the Planning <br /> Commission meeting. <br /> • <br />
