Land Use Framework and Category Revisions
• The group is refining land use categories, aiming to simplify to
Residential Development and Restrictive Development
• Classes 5–6 Subdivision or “residential growth,” confine to sewer
service areas.
• Proposed categories under review: Agricultural Preservation,
Restrictive Development, General Development, Industrial, and a
potential Gateway Corridor Overlay District.
o Combine Agricultural Preservation and Restrictive Development
due to similar definitions. No decision was made.
o Create a distinct Gateway Corridor Overlay to tie specific uses
(e.g., mixed-use, multifamily) to that corridor.
o Reevaluate or eliminate the general Industrial category,
concentrating industrial uses in two designated industrial parks.
• Industrial definitions need modernization; the 2022 comp plan
language framing industrial as “likely to have negative impacts” was
criticized. The group considered a more positive “light industrial”
definition and further subcategories (e.g., limited vs. extensive
manufacturing).

Minutes from Aug 3, 2026 were approved by motion and raised hands.
Sewer Service Area, Rock Quarry Vicinity, and Development Constraints
• Discussion on whether the rock quarry area lies inside the sewer
service area; sewer reportedly reaches the end of the rock quarry and
into Red Oak Flats, raising usability concerns if outside the service
boundary.
• Terrain constraints along Long Branch (cliff on one side, floodplain on
the other) limit development regardless of zoning.
• Some parcels near Perkins Road are in active site work; questions
raised about impacts if maps/overlays change.
Gateway Corridor and Overlay District Alignment (Section 27-3.1.10)
• Clarified distinction between gateway corridors (character areas) and
overlay districts (regulatory design standards); overlays impose
enforceable design guidelines.
• Historical context: original gateway corridor was broad; overlay created
to focus and elevate commercial frontage design.
• Preference to retarget the overlay footprint along parcels fronting the
state road from Home Depot entrance to Red Oak Flats and south,

Sewer Service Area Boundaries and Policy Scope
• Ordinances governing sewer service area boundaries were reviewed to
determine if they should restrict or allow expansion. Properties outside
the boundary require approvals from the Planning Commission, Board
of Commissioners, and Water Authority to connect.
• The boundary was affirmed as a regulatory checkpoint to deter
unwanted high-density expansion outside designated zones.
• Debate continued on whether rules should be applied via the Gateway
Corridor overlay or the sewer service area, noting parcels inside the
sewer area but outside the overlay may seek character area changes
for density rather than aesthetics.
• Conclusion: Maintain the sewer boundary as a multi-body review
checkpoint and develop policy language addressing both overlay and
sewer service area contexts, anticipating density-focused character
area change requests.
Mixed-Use Framework: Class 5/6, Percentages, and Consolidation
• Current Class 6 mixed-use rules (caps at 50% multifamily and 50%
commercial) were said to deter development. Participants considered …

The Land Use & Development Regulations Review Committee discussed and advanced several key proposals for the Gateway Corridor, including removing the 30-foot public road frontage requirement for internal lots in Class I subdivisions and setting 20% green space for Class 5 and Class 6 developments.

No final votes were taken; the committee directed staff to produce draft language and analysis for future adoption.

- Agreed to remove 30-foot public road frontage requirement for internal lots in Class I subdivisions
- Set preliminary 20% green space requirement for Class 5 and Class 6 developments

- Proposed merging or aligning Class 5 and Class 6 regulations with Gateway Corridor overlay
- Directed drafting of shared driveway easement language (max 4 lots) with maintenance covenants
- Proposed 2028 budget request for river greenway study within Gateway Corridor
