There were no objections. <br />7. Item ~8 P.U.D. Districts: <br />Citizen comment indicated a concern about the placement of <br />planned unit developments within an existing or proposed <br />R-1 neighborhood. Assistant City Attorney John Armstrong <br />said Staff recommends it. <br />Chairman Wilson asked if any objections to item 38, there were <br />none, so they accepted it. <br />8. tPm 39 Greenway Corridors: <br />• Citizen comments has indicated that the term "Greenway <br />Corridor" needs to be defined; that the Comprehensive Plan <br />does not appropriately designate Greenway Corridors and <br />these corridors are not located so as to provide the <br />~' highest and best use of certain property; that when <br />Greenway Corridors are located by the Comprehensive Plan <br />on the zoning map, that the City of La Porte should <br />purchase them; and there should be no additional setback <br />requirements imposed on uses located adjacent to Greenway <br />Corridors. <br />Director of Community Development John Joerns discussed <br />this section in great lengths. Staff recommendation is if <br />the property is to be developed and a greenway corridor is <br />adjacent or through said property, then the City should <br />purchase the greenway corridor. As with the development <br />ordinance the City must show intent to purchase within 30 <br />days and must complete said purchase within one year. If <br />within the one year period the City does not purchase the <br />property, the developer may utilize the land and the <br />greenway corridor in that section will cease to exist. <br />There was more discussion on this between Director of <br />Community Development John Joerns, Assistant City Attorney <br /> <br />r - <br />
