Disposition Summary

GC (General Commercial) and F (Floodway) One Year Plan designations.

Staff Recommendation

RECOMMEND that City Council APPROVE GC (General Commercial) and F (Floodway) One Year Plan designations.

---

In October 2017, the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) denied the requested amendment to the OYP and the applicant subsequently appealed the decision to City Council. The application was referred back to MPC by City Council to reconsider amending the OYP to GC (General Commercial). MPC staff previously recommended denial of the requested amendment because it is inconsistent with the adopted plans and because the subject property is not contiguous with the larger commercial area to the south. Staff also commented that if City Council approves a OYP amendment for this property, the land use recommendations for this area should also be updated to reflect this change in policy. Staff is now recommending approval of GC for the subject property and reiterating the need to reconsider the OYP and Sector Plan designations along this stretch of Central Avenue Pike. This could be considered as part of the annual update the OYP in early 2018.
