Council flags land-use map mismatch as consultants explain combined residential designation
Summary
Council asked consultants to correct a land-use map inconsistency after staff explained the draft combines single- and multi-family into a single 'residential' future-land-use designation while retaining separate zoning distinctions to allow future up-zoning without comp plan amendments.
Council members pressed the consultant team to fix an inconsistency between the future land-use designation and the displayed zoning map. Consultants explained the policy choice: "we're taking existing single and multifamily land, multifamily, and we're combining it into 1 land use designation," and said they would update the map symbology and paper copies to make the intended dots and hashes clear.
Council discussed specific parcels where up-zoning is anticipated (the former Leoni property was singled out in discussion) and asked for clarifying language about how the combined designation interacts with future zoning applications. Staff agreed to annotate the future land-use map, update the paper copies, and add explanatory text so readers understand when a zoning change — not a comp plan amendment — will be required.
