AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ITEM TITLE:
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: 7. &.
Correction the Official Future Land Use Map
FILE NUMBER:
Ordinance No. 25-0-0036 COMMITTEE AGENDA DATE: Sept. 8, 2025
COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: Sept. 15, 2025
STAFF REVIEW: John Sterrett SIGNATUR
APPROVED BY INTERIM CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Tia SIGNATUR

As the City begins preparations for the five-year update to the Comprehensive Plan in 2026, staff has
reviewed aspects of the current existing comprehensive plan, specifically on land use. This review de-
termined that a correction to the Future Land Use map is needed to address a property that was erro-
neously placed in the wrong land use category. This change should be made now so the correct cate-
gory is carried forward into the next plan. A privately owned parcel was incorrectly classified as “Open
Space”, which would be considered an unconstitutional taking of private property development rights,
and should be placed in the “Corridor Commercial” category to be consistent with the rest of the over-
all property. This was unintended and a mere error. Although this change is merely to address an in-
accuracy and does not change the overall intended future land use policies of the property, staff can-
not make this correction without approval from City Council.
No changes to the text of the document are needed, only changes to colors on the map. The Plan
Commission recommended unanimously (5-0) the identified changes.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Staff recommends adoption of the map amendments to the Future Land Use Map, as presented.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Members of the Development Committee voted unanimously (6-0) in support of the Correction to the
Official Future Land Use Map.
