IV.        NEW BUSINESS 

A.  Consideration to Recommend Approval of Amendment to Ordinance 10-30, Correcting the Cumulative Development Impact Fee.

An amendment to Ordinance 05-30, changing the impact fees, was adopted and went into effect on August 1, 2006.   A needs assessment report determined the amount required in each of six categories, and this information was presented in numerical format to the third decimal place.  However, the calculation of the cumulative development fee (the sum of the six amounts) was stated in number format to only the second decimal place.  By rounding down, the impact fee totals were less than taking the number to the third decimal place The proposed amendment would state the correct, higher, amount.  The Central per square foot fee would be corrected  from 2.18 to 2.181, and the Kachina area per square foot fee would be corrected from 2.28 to 2.287.             

MOTION:  To recommend approval of amending Ordinance 10-30 to correct the cumulative development impact fees.

Motion: Chris Stagg                 Second: Richard Duffy              Passed: 5-0.

 

V.         OLD BUSINESS

A.  Discussion and Review of  Proposed Change for Supplementary Regulations in the Village Core Area.

Don Schieber reported that Village Staff had made the next set of changes to the draft Village core zoning regulations and a red-lined copy was provided for review.  Dennis Romero had made the revisions based on suggestions made at the previous P&Z meeting, and also based on input  from  the developers.  Any density requirements will be submitted under a separate master plan document.  An EQR (equivalent residential unit) schedule will be addressed in a separate resolution.  The developers= private design guidelines will supercede the Village=s guidelines for their own developments.  Chris Stagg said that the master plan will be updated to reflect the walkway along the river. 

The next revised version will be presented for discussion at the next P&Z meeting.
