RE: Planning and Zoning Board Recommendations on the Interstate Lands Rezoning and the
Good Samaritan Village Rezoning
On Thursday October 16, 1997, the Planning and Zoning Board conducted public hearings on the
Interstate Lands Rezoning and the Good Samaritan Village Rezoning which are items on the City
Council's October 21, 1997, agenda. The purpose of this memorandum is to forward the Board's
recommendations concerning the rezonings to the Council
Interstate Lands Rezonine
The Planning and Zoning Board voted 7-0 to recommend approval of an amendment to the City
Structure Plan map changing a portion of the Interstate Lands property from a low -density
mixed -use neighborhood designation to an employment district; and to recommended approval of
the requested zoning districts (26.9 acres of UE, Urban Estate; 15.7 acres of LMN, Low -Density
Mixed -Use Neighborhood; 104.1 acres of E, Employment; and 44.9 acres of C, Commercial) with
a condition that all development on the property must be processed under a Type 2 (Planning and
Zoning Board) Review.
The reason for the Board's zoning condition was to allow for their review of several key issues
associated with the development of the property. Included in these key issues were transportation
related issues, including improvements to Prospect Road; access from the property onto Prospect
and the Frontage Road; and the potential connection of streets into existing residential
developments to the west; drainage issues, including maintaining Boxelder Creek as open space;
and mixed -use development issues, including residential units in close proximity to employment
areas. The Board believes these issues will need to be closely evaluated when an Overall
Development Plan (ODP) is proposed for the property.
