The change in designation of this subject property will not significantly affect adopted <br />inventory of industrial land after the removal of approximately 4.62 acres. Furthermore, the property is <br />not i <br />land can be any vacant land that had an address assigned to it) and therefore should not be included <br />in the industrial inventory. The site is also not suitable for industrial use as stated in the Urban Growth <br />Boundary Expansion Summary asy flat, large parcels <br />that are located near key transportation infrastructure, but not too near existing residential. <br />proposed development is adjacent to residential (on its northern boundary and eastern boundary) and <br />cannot be expanded to produce a larger industrial site (due to surrounding streets and adjacent <br />developed property) so it is unlikely that industries will develop the 4.62-acre site. <br /> <br />Goal 10 Housing: To provide for the housing needs of the citizens of the state. <br /> <br />Goal 10 requires that communities plan for and maintain an inventory of buildable residential land for <br />needed housing units.

There is also no assurance that <br />residential development will occur on this property and no development or use is identified at this <br />time. This is clarified in the Completeness Review comments from August 14, 2020: <br /> <br />housing was assumed outright on vacant or partially vacant Commercial designations <br />because our code does not require residential, or even require a minimum residential <br />density for commercial zones. <br /> <br />At the same time, the current industrial designation is considered potentially incompatible with the <br />residential designations adjacent to the property to the north and east (and is the reason Site Review <br />was applied to the property in the Whiteaker Refinement Plan.

By changing the designation to mixed use, any commercial, light industrial, <br />office or residential uses at the 1400 Cross Street property would trend in the direction of improved <br />compatibility with the neighboring residences (especially with inclusion of the Site Review (/SR) <br />overlay zone requested in the separate zone change application). <br /> <br />Whiteaker is also a 20-minute neighborhood where residents have access to places and services, <br />they use daily including grocery stores, restaurants, schools and parks, without relying heavily on a <br /> <br /> <br />th <br />The Satre Group -www.satregroup.com <br /> <br />
