Background Information:
At its May 8, 2008 regular meeting, the Board of Supervisors
initiated and referred the following amendments to the
Planning Commission: (1) Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to
create a Marshall Gateway Special District (MG) as Section
4-1000; (2) Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPAM08-MA-006) to
Chapter 6 – Service Districts in order to designate
approximately 26 acres to Mixed Use on the Marshall Service
District’s Land Use Plan, and (3) REZN08-MA-006 which
proposes to rezone approximately 25 acres from R-4 to
Marshall Gateway Special District (MG). All three amendments
were referred concurrently to the Planning Commission for
public hearing and recommendation.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on May
29, 2008 for the referenced amendments. Public comment
requested time to consider the proposals, along with more
time for Marshall Citizen Planning Committee review as well
as expanded staff analysis and information. The Commission
postponed action and the public hearing was left open at the
June 26, 2008 session. It was clear that additional time
for review and final recommendations was needed and was
requested on behalf of the Planning Commission.
As a result of that request, the Board of Supervisors
approved extensions for the Planning Commission
recommendations regarding all referenced amendments to its
February 26, 2009 meeting. However, the Marshall Citizen
Planning Committee work has not been completed. Another
extension is recommended for Planning Commission action to
its August 27, 2009 meeting and public hearing. |
