...- ,;-' ~om 12/15/76 E. Metropolitan Plan Policy Committee Report--Report was dis- ile tributed to Council members December 8. Mr. Bradley reported e that the committee has established general areas of study invol- ving local plans, population projections, employment, etc. . and how they affect the metropolitan area. After these studies are conducted, a target area will be isolated. Secondly, said Mr. Bradley, the year 2000 was established as the target date to coincide with planning activities, 1.e. , transportation, etc. Thirdly, said Mr. Bradley, the committee is in the process of identifying what particular areas in the current plan should be evaluated. They have identified general areas as follows: opportunity areas, industrial land areas within the metro area, whether there should be a plan Giagram, and the concept of urban boundaries. Staff has been providing the committee with data which will be sorted out and re-examined; after that, Phase II--the actual update--wi11 begin. Mr. Williams mentioned the recent problems regarding the pos- sible construction of a Bi-Mart store at 40th and Donald. In that regard, he noted the differences between language in the 1990 Plan and the zoning ordinance. He would hope that the language in the two could be more consistent. Mr. Williams also mentioned the general tendency to separate commercial and industrial areas--perhaps a merging would be more appropriate. He cited a classic example of the U of 0, which is considered a C basic industry. If zoned industrial, then housing in that area would be a nonconforming use. Planning Director also mentioned e that staff is looking at the use of the Plan Diagram as an effective tool. He said staff would appreciate input, directed to either him or Mr. Bradley.
