PLANNING: SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 147-L, IN MATTER OF AMENDMENT TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to read by title only. Seconded by Commissioner Hall, the motion carried unanimously. Bruce Barker, County Attorney, read the title of Ordinance No. 147-L into the record. Monica Daniels -Mika, Director of Planning Services, stated no comments have been received since the first reading of said Ordinance; however, a request was received from Swift and Associates which would add an additional neighborhood center thereby changing the intensity of the use. Ms. Daniels -Mika explained there is no staff or Planning Commission recommendation for this request and, since the company has not gone through the process as defined in the Comprehensive Plan or the MUD Ordinance, she recommends the applicant be instructed to do so at this time. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated the Structural Land Use Map was amended in January with the MUD Ordinance, through a process which involved public hearings and public input, then also approved with the Comprehensive Plan approval. She further stated several minor changes were made throughout that process, and the amendment now being considered is simply a cleanup measure to ensure the appropriate map is included in the Comprehensive Plan. Responding to questions from Commissioner Hall, Ms. Daniels -Mika explained the request, if approved, would increase the intensity of the area by the addition of another neighborhood center. She noted the map was initially studied based on four neighborhood centers and an additional center would possibly change that intensity. After further discussion, Mr. Barker stated the request from Swift Associates should also be considered by the Planning Commission, and he recommended referral back through the proper process. Commissioner Hall indicated that the map is conceptual in nature, therefore, the Board should not be considering changes to the map for uses which were included. Peter Swift, Swift and Associates, representing the applicant, Donald Sherwood, explained the neighborhood centers were developed to become focal points within the neighborhood, which would attract residents within walking distance. He noted the additional neighborhood center would actually cause a reduction in intensity, since traffic and pollution would be reduced. Mr Swift explained the week-long design process used to gain input from public officials and citizens. Commissioner Kirkmeyer questioned the necessity of changing the map if the neighborhood center was included on the map. Ms. Daniels -Mika reiterated the specific number of neighborhood centers was used for review in regard to intensity of the neighborhood and stated the same number of centers could be moved around within the MUD without affecting the intensity. Commissioner Kirkmeyer reiterated the neighborhood center concept was used to help develop Minutes, June 16, 1997 971126 Page 4 BC0016 the neighborhood, and the number of centers does not necessitate a change to the map. Mr. Swift stated they would separate and move the center within the neighborhood, not add an additional center. Commissioner Hall reiterated the importance of retaining flexibility in use of the map, since it is conceptual in nature, and stated the Board did not intend to create a cumbersome amendment process for minor changes to uses already included on the map. Mr. Swift reiterated they will calculate the intensity of one neighborhood center and spread it throughout the neighborhood. Commissioner Harbert moved to approve Ordinance No. 147-L on second reading. The motion, which was seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, carried unanimously. RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the consent agenda. Ordinance No. 147-L was approved on second reading. Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and respectfully submitted by the Acting Clerk to the Board. There being no further business, this meeting was adjourned at 9:40 a.m. ATTEST: Weld County C BY. Deputy Clerk to Dale K. Hall BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WEL�NTY, COLTO e E. Baxter, Chair nce L.
