The reexamination report and the land use amendments are a direct response to that proposal to put inclusionary zoning provisions in our plan. The proposed amendments are isolated to pages 42 through 46 of the Land Use Plan Amendment that was adopted in 2022. A new section being added is called Integrated Medium-Density Multifamily Neighborhood Development (IMDMND), which corresponds to two lots in the PMUD Zone. One on the corner of College Road East and Research Way and the other on Schalks Crossing Road, containing an existing single family home, which has a prior approval for a research/office development that has not been built. The idea was to create an area that would have inclusionary zoning with 25% set aside with a density of 12 units per acre. Another section speaks to bulk, density and height requirements that were revised to include the inclusionary area. Chair Lehrhaupt noted that being that there are no members of the public present, without exception the public session is closed. Ms. Cecil reviewed the two resolutions: one adopting the reexamination report and the other adopting the Master Plan Amendments updating Chapter Three of the Land Use Plan Element. ?
