Ralph Kelman, planner, discussed and explained the site plan to the Commission. He explained that the realignment of Allen Heights Drive would take place in their proposed development. Some concerns expressed regarding the proposal included having a greenhouse or nursery and hotel or motel in the shopping center use regulations; allowable uses in the commercially zoned districts; some additional uses being asked for in commercial areas being compat- ible with the adjacent zoning. The Commission discussed a definition for office/showroom use in the shopping center area; whether Combined America plans to develop the commercially zoned districts or sell the land; the property that would possibly house a small lake; where the open space might be located on the site plan; the percentage of sizes of dwelling units; the townhouse zoning; and possibly changing the 2-F zoning to townhouse zoning to allow for single ownership of each side. The Commission thought that overall it is a workable plan to this point. There was no action taken on this item. CSD Base Committee Status Report by Commissioners Koch and Hill (Agenda Item VIII) Chairman Pendleton read the agenda item into the record as follows: "CBD Base Committee status report by Commissioners Koch and Hill." Commissioner Koch informed the Commission that the boundaries of the interim CBD have not been changed but have been better defined. They discussed allowable uses and possibly requiring site plan approval for some uses. This is an informational item only. There was no action taken on this item. Other Business: Bill Petty, Director of Community Development, told the Commis- sion that he needs some new guidelines to supply developers with so that they have some direction as to how the Commission and Council want the city to develop. Since the present Comprehensive Plan is outdated, all that he has to work with is the percentage guidelines as set out by the Council and Commission. He would suggest to the Commission that they need possibly to revive the committee of Commis- sion and Council members that were appointed to look into either updating our present Comprehensive Plan or having a new one done.
