Types of Land Use Amendment for the 2008 process
Amendments considered this year are primarily focused on Land Use changes. To streamline the process, this year's amendments are categorized as Minor and Major.
Minor Amendments do not significantly alter the approved goals, policies and intent of the Land Use element. These amendments make changes to smaller parcels of land within the City and create considerably less impact to the surrounding area. The following criteria determine if the proposed amendment is categorized as a Minor amendment:
· The property is less than 3 acres
· The property is adjacent to land that is similar to the land use proposed
· All utilities with sufficient capacity is available to the property
· The property can be served by the existing transportation system with minor alteration or improvements that can be done by the property owner
· Any potential adverse impacts can be mitigated on the property
· Critical areas or other environmentally sensitive areas will not be impacted by the proposed change
Major Amendments are properties that do not meet the above criteria.
