Show Page Ie 2 Continued from page 1 Public hearing cally will be done on that. Greenhalgh said the map that was handed out was a long way from a zoning map, but an attempt to work toward a zoning map. This is really an update of an existing city plan, said Greenhalgh. The ordinance will probably be a major update. This meeting will help with writing the ordinance; it will deal with specifics. Not everything on this map will be in the ordinance. This is a document that looks to the future, but some parts will be implemented immediately. The process that will be followed, according to Greenhalgh, is that P&Z will review this meeting. Then they must decide to stay with the plan as outlined, change parts of it, or start all over again. After the plan is finished it is then presented to the City Council. After the Council reviews it they can send it back and say fix it, or decide to follow it. If the Council is satisfied with the plan they will set another public hearing, then adopt the plan. Next, the Council will work on making it an ordinance and hold another public hearing to ratify it. The color coded map given to those in attendance indicated some possible growth to the south and the west, a tiny area of highway commercial to the east, but the largest area of proposed growth was shown to the exit north using the north as somewhat a general boundary. The northward proposed growth section included all of the land use categories with the exception of the central business district. The major area within the present city limits is identified as lower density residential with higher density residential located to the north and to the south. The commercialresidential mix follows Main Street to the north, 'CEhras-Ncfo- south, and to the west following highway 132. Commercialindus-tria- l areas are minimal on the west side of town, but indicate further growth to the west would be agreeable. One member attending the hearing, Marty Palmer, asked that his objection to being included in the commercialindustrial mix to the west be noted in the hearing minutes. Palmers property was listed this way because it is adjacent to the projected placement of Sunset Rail, but Palmer said he purchased his property with the intent to build a home there and does not wish to be surrounded by commercial industrial buildings or to be restricted from using his land as residential. Greenhalgh told Palmer that his area has not yet been annexed to the city. To be annexed 51 of the property owners repof the property resenting 13 value must agree. Karen McPherson asked Greenhalgh to define what size industry the city would try to attract. After some thought, Greenhalgh said the city would look at Wednesday, January 17, 1996 Nephi, Utah s ndustries that might bring as high as 100 employees to the area. I have to be honest, said Greenhalgh, If Micron had wanted to come here I would have considered it, but that would certainly have made a big change in Nephi city. Questions concerning changes in downtown Nephi resulted in a comment by Ivan Tidwell, who said he hoped the city did not try to make the area like downtown Provo. He said he thought that would be a mistake. He said when he goes to Provo he avoids Main Street. Mrs. Jim Maxwell asked what was wrong with painting parking spots in the middle of the business district. Randy McKnight, City Administrator said, The basic issue is that is a State highway and previous requests have been denied. Both Duane Bracken and Dale Worwood asked that the public be given more time to examine proposals in the future. They said it was hard to digest that much information in a short time. George Phillips said history showed that once the City Council got things they didnt change them very much before they became an ordinance. He wished to have another public hearing before things were decided upon. Mayor Robert Steele an- swered, There will be work sessions on this. We hold work sessions twice a month and they are open to the public. You are welcome to attend any of those sessions. At the end of the meeting Greenhalgh commented, I personally feel there was not a lot of disagreement, no negative comments were made of the goals. The plan generally seems to be in good shape, but we need to look at some specifics and fine tune the plan. Work on the plan has been done by Mayor Steele, City Administrator, Randy McKnight, and the whole City Council, in- meeting The Ute Stampede Association will hold its annual meeting on tonight, January 17th, at e the Juab County Fairgrounds Building, according to Leo Osborne, secretary-tMulti-Purpos- reasurer.
