Staff is in support of this minor amendment to High Density Residential. Particularly in light of the fact that land uses developed in this area are of a higher density residential land use. Continued higher density residential development in this location where good access and adequate utilities are available will serve the immediate and long-term needs of the communities housing goals. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment at its December 4, 2023 meeting. Motion carried, 4 ayes — 0 nays. RECOMMENDATION Approve of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment from a split use of Retail and Low Density Residential to High Density Residential.
