1. Gregory Weiler, attorney for the Lamb Family, spoke regarding a potential ambiguity between the zoning density of the southeasterly portion of the City as designated on the Zoning Map and in the General Plan. He spoke in favor of the maximum density of .20 dwelling units per acre or one dwelling unit per five acres.
2. Wayne Lamb, property owner, reported that his family has owned agricultural/ranch property in the southeasterly portion of the City for approximately 98 years. He noted that with careful planning, cluster type development on properties in the southeasterly portion of the City would be of great asset to both the property owner and the City. Mr. Lamb urged the City Council to maintain the one dwelling unit to five acres density on his property.
3. Rod Jones, property owner, reported that the Abacherli Family has owned land in the southeasterly portion of the City for approximately 100 years. He commented that pockets of the land have the potential to be developed and would make a nice, rural community. Mr. Jones noted that there are several owners in the Abacherli family and no written notice of the General Plan update and proposed zoning change was received.
4. Cliff Strand, on behalf of the Lamb Family, noted that a very nice agricultural and/or equestrian community could be achieved with clustered development on properties in the southeasterly portion of the City. He urged the City Council to maintain the General Plans zoning density for the southeasterly portion of the City at one dwelling unit per five acres.
5. Bal Ramlochan, on behalf of the Lamb Family, asked the City Council to consider resolving the matter of the zoning density of the southeasterly portion of the City to avoid opposition to the approval of the General Plan update. She noted that maintaining the current one dwelling unit per five acres zoning density for that area would benefit both the City and the land owners. Ms. Ramlochan commented that maintaining the zoning density would provide clarification for the land and retain reasonable economic value for the families.
