MEETING WITH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION -PUBLIC HOUSING SITE 360-1001 Chairman Dick Blum, Planning & Zoning Comm., Chairperson Diane Klaus, Housing Commission, Lyle Seydel, Mike Kucharzak & Doug Boothroy present. Berlin recalled that Council had asked PR for guidelines or criteria used for P&Z discussion of public housing sites. Blum noted that the public housing on University Baptist Church area site was treated the same as any request for rezoning, and they did not address the pros and cons of public housing. Drainage problems were outlined, as viewed by the Commission and as by the Staff. The Commission wanted assurance that the area would develop according to the storm water management plan, the City could not give it as it does not have control over the whole parcel. Blum advised that the Commission looks at a request in light of the lowest and worst use, a traditional consideration. Berlin suggested that the Planning staff, the Legal staff sit down with Planning and Zoning and discuss issues raised, such as the question as to whether the Commission can take into consideration when it examines any given 'specific parcel, the various complexities of making that parcel fit into a certain zone that are in other ordinances, as it is P&Z's practice to do that; or the Comprehensive Plan issue. Y,laus suggested that'P&Z &'Housing get together to see if problems can be solved before developer's,'packets go out. Blum agreed. A new submission was discussed.
