8.A.b Prescott City Council Study Session Meeting— 10/31/2017 Page 4 Subdivisions can be locked down and maintain the same standards. Councilwoman Orr questioned if dark skies were affected. Mr. Worley indicated that it affectively complies with Prescott's requirements. Councilman Sischka suggested that it would be important to consider the market and address preferences such as dark skies to identify who would move here. Councilman Blair discussed Prescott Lakes as a master plan, and it had a sheet flow which builds an infrastructure and how it handles the water and drainage. He hopes that the lot drainage is taken into consideration and should be in the plan. Mr. Worley explained that there are a different set of standards and requirements that d apply to using the property for commercial, residential or civic and creates mixed use. Not everyone is going to use traditional zoning. The layers allow certain uses and has specific development standards. Pro Tern Lamerson inquired what happens if something is changed or they want to go backwards. Mr. Worley said in the future, it 471 goes back to land use groups and see what is allowed through the layers and it is a a one-time zoning of the property. The Council would still have to work within the master plan land use budget. If the budget goes over the amount, then it would be a master plan amendment. Pro Tern Lamerson shared concerns with regard to build out, including water and long range planning. Councilwoman Wilcox stated that a commercial center development in this area is critical. Councilman Sischka asked how can we mandate a minimum of commercial space if the market doesn't want it. Mr. Worley stated that a minimum number would sit in the budget until the market demanded it. cn Councilman Blair stated that a plan has to be well designed before dictating a commercial area and would like to make sure conversations take place about fire, police, cemeteries and everything is covered. Councilman Lazzell would like to move co away from substation and fire stations because it is a one time cost however, manning operational costs in the project through the developers. With these stations and the growth of Prescott, can we legally use for example, home owner associations fees to go N toward public safety. Mr. Paladini said the development could pay for the operational cost to public safety and it would need to allocate it out for this project. However, the service area would be broader. You can't do it with a Community Facilities District (CFD) or development impact fees. Mayor Oberg asked for clarification on the existing 0 zoning and a land use group. Mr. Lamar asked if the existing zoning is what the Council wants or to utilize the master plan. Mr. Paladini identified that in most cities are E exclusive ours is inclusive zoning. The only way to manage is by a development agreement or the master plan, with regard to commercial use, you can build commercial use but you cannot force them to be occupied and there are challenges to agreement versus occupancy. Councilwoman Orr stated that Planning and Zoning Commissioner Mabarak mentioned that you can't make retail come. Mr. Worley stated the benefits of a master plan are very strong over traditional zoning. Master plans offer more flexibility. Mr. Lamar asked under the existing zoning is there any negotiation for civic uses. Mr. Worley stated not at this time. Recommended P & Z Commission Conditions I Packet Pg.20
