Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes of July 16, 2015 Page 5 of 7 City Planner Eric Ensey presented the staff report on a proposed amendment to the Future Land Use Map as recommended by staff. Mr. Ensey reminded the Commission that at the June 8, 2015, City Council meeting, the Council directed staff to work with the property owners of Port Crossing on a number of items to clean-up discrepancies between the various documents governing development of the Port Crossing Business Park, which included amending the Future Land Use Plan to clean-up the land use designation for a portion of the Port Crossing site. Commissioners were reluctant to act on any items on the agenda relating to Port Crossing. Commissioners were concerned that there was a lot of information to take in and they were unclear about the implications of any decisions they would be making. Jim Harris, attorney for Port Crossing, assured the Commission there were no substantive changes being requested from the 2006 SCUP and Development Agreement. After a lengthy discussion, Commissioners agreed to table action on the Port Crossing items and schedule a special called meeting for consideration at a later date. Motion by Commissioner Follis to table action on agenda items 9, 10, 13, 14, and 15. Second by Commissioner Martin. Motion carried.
