(_' t'S TOM WALKER TO : Development Committee ` " Deputy Director Mt�NT P� HE S FROM: Planning Division [�vr-\ ,,�/S5- Ct SUBJECT : Pre-Application Conference for Major Subdivision Application No . SU- 89-2 of Ben Goehring (c/o J. Jeffrey Kirst ) . --------------------------------------------------------------------- The proposed project is for a 57 unit rural residential subdivision and an 18-hole , par-3 golf course . At present , the General Plan Designation is Agriculture with Conservation along Bear Creek , and GA-40 zoning. The applicant is proposing a General Plan Map Amendment from Agriculture and Conservation to Rural Residential and a Zone Reclassification from GA-40 to RR-65 along with a Major Subdivision Application. General Plan Considerations Within the Land Use/Circulation Element of the General Plan there are several principles that are relevant to the proposed project . The following Rural Residential Principles are applicable : 1 . Rural residential areas should be kept to a minimum in number and extent . 2 . Rural residential areas should be established only in agricultural areas where there are existing concentrations of small parcels , and should not be established within or on the fringe of designated urban growth areas . 3. Future rural residential development will take place only within the designated areas and outward expansion will be discouraged . This development should occur in a manner that will maintain the rural character of the area. The proposed project requires a General Plan Map Amendment from Agriculture and Conservation to Rural Residential , which is clearly inconsistent with the above General Plan principles . In particular , Rural Residential Principle No . 3 states that "future rural residential development will take place only within the designated areas . " Rural Residential Principle No. 1 further restricts rural residential development by stating that "rural residential areas should be kept to a minimum in number and extent. " Therefore , the establishment of a new rural residential area would be contrary to General Plan policy. Should the applicant decide to proceed with this application , he should be aware that a General Plan Text Amendment , would be required .
