COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DELIBERATION: Council began deliberation on page 39 with Goal
LUG -11. Council discussed some goals and policies and did not discuss others where they had no
comments or suggested changes. Even after lengthy discussion, Council chose not to make any changes to
several goals and policies, and therefore, only those goals and policies with recommended changes are
noted below. Council discussion of the Land Use Map is scheduled for Council's Tuesday, January 17,
2006 study session. There was council consensus for the following changes:
LUP 11.4: Modify as follows: "Retail outlets shall be allowed for industrial businesses that manufacture
and assemble products on- site." It was decided that Deputy City Attorney Driskell and Planning
Manager McCormick would research the "assembly" issue further.
LUP -12.2: Modify as follows: "Light industry areas shall include lighting, sidewalks, bike lanes and
landscaping to provide a safe and attractive working environment."
Added policy: LUP 12.3: Retail outlets shall be allowed for industrial businesses that manufacture
and assemble products on -site.
LUG 14 [Note: numbering sequence has error after LUP 14.2 — missing LUP 14.3 and LUP 14.4; it was
also suggested to switch LUP 14.2 with LUP 14.5 so that the regulations are listed first, followed by the
designated aesthetic corridors.]
LUP 14.2.... Aesthetic corridors shall be located along the following routes:
• State Route 27: change to read as follows: The following sections of State Route 27:
(a) SR 27 from 16 Avenue South;
(b) SR 27 from Mansfield to Trent
• Appleway Boulevard (south side from Park to Dishman Mica) [ok as written]
• Mirabeau Parkway, Pines to Indiana
• Dishman Mica Road from 8 Avenue, south to City Limits [ok as is]

meeting (3 councilmembers wanted to leave this in; 3 councilmembers wanted to strike

LUP 14.6: Delete
LUP 14.8 Re -word as: "Establish a cap and replace system for billboards."

Council concurred to accept the Office Goals & Policies LUG -8 revisions memorandum dated 12/13/05,
with the noted change of adding the previously approved verbiage "area lighting" after the word
"landscaping" to LUP 8.2.
