Committee moves to label vacant 300-acre parcel IN1B and record conservation
Summary
A committee member moved, and the committee unanimously approved, amended language to identify the existing developed campus as IN1A and the vacant 300-acre parcel as IN1B and to show committed conservation properties on the map.
A member moved that the vacant 300-acre parcel that abuts Poole Street and West Street be designated within the institutional zone and that areas already committed to permanent conservation be reflected on the ordinance map. The motion was seconded and an amendment was proposed to enumerate the noncontiguous campus parcels as IN1A (existing developed campus) and IN1B (the vacant 300-acre parcel).
During debate, members discussed whether the 300-acre parcel should have a separate master plan requirement and whether the numbering should be letters (1A, 1B) rather than a numeric sequence to avoid confusing future acquisitions. One member asked staff to document that approximately half the 300-acre parcel is in conservation; staff agreed to add GIS layers and parcel numbers to the map. The chair called the question and the committee recorded a unanimous vote in favor of the motion as amended. "On the motion as amended, would you restate, please?" the chair asked; after clarification, members voted and the motion carried unanimously.
