ORDINANCE - This matter was continued to the Council meeting APPROVING THE ANNEXATION TO of April 3, 1973. SAID CITY OF CERTAIN UNIN- HABITED TERRITORY KNOWN AND DESIGNATED AS SPORTS WORLD PHASE I ANNEXATION - FIRST READING PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDERA- Associate Planner Lee explained the various TION OF STANDARDS FOR PLANNED changes proposed in the Planned Unit Development UNIT DEVELOPMENTS AND AMEND- standards, among which were the deletion of the MENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE 25 percentbonus, a reduction in the minimum house size standard by 200 square feet per unit for 30 percent of the dwellings within an approved subdivision; that the P.U.D. procedure be made modifying di'$t~ict~ the requirement to file a subdivision map concurrent with the zone change application for the P.U.D.; elimination of the requirement for a 4/Ss vote of the City Council to override the Planning Conunission decision. Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hamilton opened the public hearing. Public hearing closed There being no comments, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. Council discussion Council discussion ensued on the various changes proposed. Councilman Hyde spoke against the proposal to allow the 200 square foot reduction for the 1000 square foot homes. He also maintained that under a standard sub- division, a developer would get 4.3 units per acre, but under this new proposal, 6.2 units could be realized. Councilman Hyde remarked that all developments should be done under the planned unit process and meet the requirements of a standard subdivision (70% of the homes will have 7,000 square foot lots; 20% - 6,000; and 10% - S,000). Mayor Hamilton indicated he favored the ordinance because of the common open space which would be required. Bonus allowed Director of Planning Peterson commented that the bonus that would be allowed would be larger than 25 percent - it would be about 40 to 45 percent. He was concerned because there was nothing in the standards that spelled out to the developer what he had to do to earn that bonus. Mr. Peterson asked if the developer had the right to that bonus, or whether it was discretionary with the Cmmcil based on the merits of the plan The Council concurred that it should be discre- tionary with the Council. Continuance requested City Manager Thomson requested the matter be sent back to the staff for further study, and the staff take into account the comments made by the Council and tho Planning Director. Councilman Hyde suggested having a Council Conference on it. Motion to continue It was moved by Councilman Scott and seconded by Councilman Hobel that this matter be continued for one week in order to get additional staff comments. Mr. Peterson felt that one week was too short a period of time. Motion withdrawn- Councilman Scott withdrew his motion and Council- man Hobel withdrew his second. Referred to staff It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried that this matter be referred to staff for refinement in the light of the discussion held at this meeting. The matter is then to be brought back to the Council at a time the staff feels it is appropriate. If the staff deems it necessary to have a Council Conference, then one should be called.
