Report on PLANNING COMMISSIONERS HEARING
At a meeting held March 12th, the Planning Commissioners voted 5-2 to adopt a motion to approve rezoning,with some conditions.
The motion was introduced by Commmissioner Spanstra, based on a red-lined
version of the ODP prepared by Commissioner Johnson. The Commissioners
deliberated for an hour and a half.There was no public testimony. The major
issue discussed was density, with comments and recommended conditions to be
placed on wildlife corridors, minimum lot sizes, water tanks, removal of
current campus, setbacks and privacy fencing.
The bottom line: The ODP allowed for a maximim of 280 units in Use Areas 1 & 2. THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS MOTION APPROVED WAS FOR 75 UNITS IN USE AREA 1 (Valley) AND 140 UNITS IN USE AREA 2 (Old Campus). This recommendation reduces the density from the ODP to a level which is STILL 95.4% MORE THAN RECOMMENDED BY THE SJCCP.
This decision was AGAINST their own P & Z Staff recommendation of DENIAL.
Most of the Commissioners did not seem to be concerned with maintaining the
integrity of the newly-revised and adopted South Jefferson Çounty Community
Plan, the community planning process, or about whether or not the ODP meets
the Plan Exception criteria. The Commissioners seemed overly concerned with
compromise.
