Yes, lthought are on the same page. Wanted to get the whole train of thought written down and saved with my
planning files for whenever Hyland inevitably asks a "higher up" why he can't do what he wants on this. -Kristina

Andy,
No, I don't recommend concurrent review of the site plan application and plan amendment/zone change. The code is
explicit that the zone change and plan amendment can go together, or a zone change and plan amendment and Master

Plan may go together, or site plan and HD overlay, etc., but not a site plan and zone change/plan amendment. There are
also 120-day rule implications for both us and the property owner.
Furthermore, with this particular property owner, there would be strong political risks to accepting a site plan
application (and those fees) before the zone change/plan amendment were approved, if the zone change and plan
amendment decision does not go in the applicant's favor. I would not recommend tying the hands of the City Council to
approve the plan amendment based on the applicant having already incurred costs for the site plan review - no amount
of warnings to this property owner removes the risk in my mind that this would become a point of major political
pressure.

Subject: RE: Quick Call
OK the consultant for Shaun Hyland's High Banks Property (former quarry proposed for RV storage) is asking if they
could submit for site plan review in advance of - or concurrently with - redesignating and rezoning the site. I looked at
the approval standards of SDC 5.17.125(A) and standard 1 requires that the use is listed as permitted or discretionary in
the district. ln the past we have allowed Type 2 applications to proceed with the understanding that another Type 2 or
higher application might be necessary to address conditions of approval. This was under the previous code provisions,
however, which did not have the same criteria of approval. Can we accept a site plan application based on a pending
redesignation and zone change? Seems like a stretch to me...

Andy,
I am working on items related to the GuestHouse today so I don't know when I will get a chance to call you. Email may
be easier if you have a question.
