PUBLIC COMMENT There was no public comment. 4. BUSINESS ITEMS The order of the agenda was shifted in order to begin with item B, followed by items C and A. Items D and E remained in the same position. A. Resolution Setting Public Hearing on 2004-2009 TIP/ASIP – The Committee approved a recommendation to the City Council that at its July 15, 2003, meeting a public hearing would be held on the TIP/ASIP for 2004-2009. The Land Use/Transportation Committee will hear a presentation on the 2004-2009 TIP/ASIP at its next meeting on July 7, 2003. B. Code Amendment/Changes to Business Park Use Zone Charts – At the previous meeting, on June 2, 2003, staff had presented information regarding changes to the Business Park Use Zone Charts. The Committee asked for further research to determine if any other possible natural breaks occurred in defining a Business Park property from a Professional Office property based on a lot size of 1.5 acres. Further research by staff revealed no other justification of a natural break at 1.5 acres. If the break were to occur at 2.0 acres, all non-conforming stand- alone office properties, six additional parcels, a number not considered significant, would be affected. The Committee m/s/c recommendation to the City Council at its July 1, 2003, meeting to amend the Planning Commission recommendation, and increase the size of Business Park Use Zones to 2.0 acres. Staff was instructed to notify Councilmember Park of the decision made at this meeting. Deputy Mayor McColgan thanked Contract Planner Schull for her work and for her presentation to the Committee. C. Potential Annexation Area Study/Discussion of Process to Accommodate Requests for Changes to Preannexation Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Designations – The Committee voted to recommend to the City Council that staff incorporate the preannexation zoning process by which property owners may request changes in their pre-annexation Comprehenisive Plan and Zoning Map designations. Unless otherwise requested, PAA Zoning will be a direct translation between existing King County designations and the most comparable Federal Way designations. Minor exceptions occurred on some existing incompatible zoning designations, non-conforming uses, minimum residential lot size requirements, mobil home park uses, and an examination of existing King County R-1 zoning (one dwelling unit per acre). The Council will discuss this topic at its July 1, 2003, meeting.
