Many of the comments from the audience expressed concern at allowing increases in
density through the PRUD ordinance. It was felt that Medina was incorporated to
save large lots and leave a lot of open space. There was, however, comment from
the audience encouraging the Council to allow flexibility in the ordinance so the
Planning Commission and City Council could look at all types of PRUD proposals in
the future. It was also expressed that a flexible PRUD ordinance, that might
allow some smaller homes on smaller lots, may be the only way to allow some elderly
residents to stay in Medina.
Burke was asked to briefly summarize the existing ordinance. He explained that
at the present time the existing Planned Land Use Development ordinance allows
a very broad modification so long as it is consistent of the Planning Commission
and not the Board of Adjustment. This tightens up the procedures and criterion
for approval and what you have to submit. The Plan does not allow any multiple
family and sets perimeters on what can be adjusted. Discussion followed.
Mayor King proposed a revised draft of the PRUD ordinance for Council consideration
and public discussion. He then closed the public hearing on the PRUD and stated
that it will be on the agenda next month as an action item.
The City Manager was asked to report on the Storm Drainage Project. He brought
them up-to-date on the Project.
