Neighborhood
Shopping Concept
Neighborhood Shopping Concept-Mr. Bartel submitted excerpts
from the Master Plan outlining the neighborhood shopping
concept. Mr. Bartel request the intentions of the Planning
and Zoning Commission as relates to this concept. To
instigate this concept would require amendment to the
present zoning regulations that puts into effect the
concept outlined in the Master Plan. Have recommended to
the County Planning and Zoning Commission to include in
their code a neighborhood shopping district; and amend
existing districts by putting in a maximum square footage
for retail uses defined as uses that meet day to day needs.
For the City would require amending the existing commercial
districts to set a maximum square footage on retail outlets.
Discussed the types of retail outlets that this concept
would apply to i. e. grocery stores, drug stores.
Concern was expressed by the commission that perhaps the
same maximum square footage may not be right for the C-l
and C-C as the C-2 zone.
Mr. Bartel explained the reason for neighborhood shopping
concept is so that the service area would not be concentratec
in one area, would eleviate some of the transportaion and
parking problems and the central core area serves a
different function than the neighborhood shopping.
Commission agreed to meet with the County Planning and
Zoning Commission to discuss this concept.

the work task force outline andprevious minutes of the

need to be made as to the tasks that can be accomplished
locally, those strictly of the consultant and those that will
be shared by the consultant and local staff.
