Plan for Glenwood was published in the Re ister Guard and sent to all interested parties. Goal 2 .. ^Land ~se,,,,_Plannin~. Goal 2 mandates the establishment of a land use planning process and policy framework to be used as a basis for all land use decisions. As part of the development of the refinement plan, inventories of land use, public facilities, transportation facilities, and natural resources were taken. From this information, land use designations and policies were determined. The net effect of the proposed amendments an the Metro Plan land use allocations are shown in the tables in Attachment B. In the cases where the low-density residential designation is changed to a mixed-use asterisk which includes either commercial, industrial, or medium-density residential uses, the low-density residential allocation was assumed to be evenly distributed among the three uses in the future. Using this approach, the net effect of the proposed Metro Plan amendments would be the addition of two acres to the light- medium industrial designation, 15 acres to the commercial designation, 10 acres to the medium-density residential designation, and the loss of ~7 acres in the low-density residential designation. These amendments, when looked at as a whale, have a minimal impact on overall Metro Plan allocations. The designation with the largest change is the low-density residential designation, and in this case the refinement plan ensures that existing residential uses, in particular the mobile home parks, can retain their RA zoning. In most cases, the amendments reflect what already exists. Amendment 1 provides for a low-density residential designation for an existing mobile home park. Amendment 2 recognizes the existing mixture of commercial and industrial uses along Franklin; Amendments 3 and 4 provide flexibility and opportunities for a mixture of uses to coexist. Amendment 5 retains the underlying light-~ medium industrial designation while allowing for limited commercial uses under certain circumstances. In summary, the refinement plan and related amendments retain the most suitable and logical sites in Glenwood for light- medium industrial use as directed by the Metro Plan. The refinement plan and amendments also recognize the importance of retention of the existing residential uses for low and moderate income households.
