The content of the report is still a work in progress. Introduction In its most basic form, a city's comprehensive plan serves as its land use plan, and provides the legal basis for the zoning code to implement the land use recommendations within the plan. There are many other appropriate components of a comprehensive plan, including a wide variety of community concerns such as infrastructure, housing, the environment, etc. But the land use component is one of the most important items for consideration by the P&Z Commission/Steering Committee, and also one of the most technical. Staff have spent many hours analyzing the built environment across the city, as well as past land use plans and notable zoning cases, in the preparation of the proposed 2020-2045 Future Land Use Plan. This report and accompanying maps are meant to serve as an initial draft and starting point for discussion and debate.

The Development Plan Map included 9 different categories of future land, as follows: Land Use Category Corresponding Zoning Code District Low Density Residential RS -1 and RS -2 Single Family Districts Medium Density Residential (Detached) RS -3 and RS -4 Single Family Districts Medium Density Residential (Attached) RD Residential Duplex District High Density Residential RA -1 and RA -2 Multi -Family Districts Commercial C-0, C-1, C-2, C-3 Commercial Districts Industrial M-1 and M-2 Industrial Districts Parks & Open Space N/A Public & Semi -Public N/A Transportation (Aviation and Rail) N/A DEVELOPMENT PLAN lebin 0.MY �Lbf�6 M�OF�F MWwP/ ® sa...ee•.�. o+.wr Jefferson, Missouri Page 2 Update Process — Past map Amendments and Minor Edits As a prelude to forming recommendations on future land use, staff have attempted to bring the Development Plan Map "up to date". Numerous edits to the Development Plan Map have occurred since its adoption in 1996, including edits associated with rezoning proposals and edits associated with neighborhood plans. Staff have also made efforts to update the map to a more detailed level with respect to property and parcel lines and with respect to development that has occurred since 1996. - Most of these edits were property owner initiated and paired up with a rezoning case, presented to and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Staff have maintained the development plan map over time, updating it when edits are approved through the comprehensive plan amendment process. - A number of Neighborhood Plans have been adopted since 1996, most notably the Central Eastside Neighborhood Plan and the Southside/Old Munichburg Neighborhood Plan. Staff have updated the Development Plan Map to reflect the future land use components of these plans, using the closest or most appropriate future land use category within the existing development plan map schema. - Numerous minor technical edits were made to the map to match the boundaries of the recommended land use designations to parcel lines. It would appear that the producers of the 1996 map did not have access to electronic versions of the parcel lines. - Color designations of several land use categories were modified. - Staff have updated the map in many cases to reflect development that has occurred since 1996. The "starting point' of future land use recommendations is often the existing land use. Development Plan Map - -=�-- � ,Updated to Summer 2020 Development Plan Map -Summer 2020 Yl L.

A more complete and detailed listing of land use goals and strategies is contained within the text of the Comprehensive Plan. Expand Multi -Family Residential Opportunities — There appears to be a lack of undeveloped property zoned for multifamily residential development. Staff feel it appropriate to address this issue within the Future Land Use Map, by identifying specific areas that are appropriate for multifamily use. Strengthen Downtown and Expand Living Opportunities — Downtown Jefferson City was routinely referenced during public engagement both as one of Jefferson City's most important resources, and also as having some of the greatest opportunities for improvement. Staff feel it appropriate to differentiate the downtown area from the rest of the (more generic) future land use categories and apply specific recommendations for the downtown area within the Comprehensive Plan. Identify redevelopment areas and opportunities — Several areas of the city are seen as going through a transition from one land use category to another. Staff have sought to identify these areas, and where the existing buildings do not support the future land use, have designated them as redevelopment areas. Redevelopment areas are, in essience, areas where the existing buildings are expected to be demolished to make way for new, typically higher intensity, land uses. Ensure that there is an appropriate amount of land available for each category of land use — an important component of the comprehensive plan is consideration of the amount of land available for various land uses. Staff have sought to ensure that there is an appropriate amount of land available for each use within the draft future land use map. Extent of 2020 Future Land Use Map The 2020-2045 Future Land Use map extends to unincorporated areas up to two miles beyond the City Limits. Where existing annexation boundary agreements with neighboring communities are in place, the land use plan extends to those boundaries. The future land use map is not an annexation plan (and should not be interpreted to be one). It is merely an attempt by city planners to anticipate and plan for future land uses without regard to the location of future (unknown) municipal boundaries. Page 4 Planning Tools Proposed Within Map Old Categories - Staff have combined the Low Density Residential and Medium Density Residential (Detached) land use categories into a single Low Density Residential designation. Both of these categories pertain to single family residential use. - Staff have modified the names of several land use categories, without modifying their underlying purpose. New Land Use Categories Center Mixed Use — this land use category identifies areas ideal for mixed residential/commercial use in the older (typically historic) sections of the community. The category would be implemented by two separate zoning districts: - MU -1 District — ideal for mixed use areas including offices, small scale retail and service businesses, single family residential, and multi -family buildings of up to 4 units. - MU -2 District — ideal for mixed use areas including storefront commercial, restaurants, loft apartments, and multi -family buildings. Suburban Mixed Use — this land use category identifies areas ideal -for mixed residential/commercial use in the newer sections of the community. Areas of mixed multi -family and office (or other low intensity commercial) land uses are ideal for this designation. Commercial office areas with a significant amount of undeveloped lots may also be appropriate for this designation, in order to open up additional multi -family property in appropriate locations. Downtown — In order to differentiate the downtown area from the more traditional land use designations, staff propose to designate it separately on the future land use map. While the C-3 Central Commercial district is the zoning tool developed specifically to address the core downtown, it is not necessarily adequate (by itself) to address the mix of appropriate land uses in a downtown environment combined with the focus on building styles and history that is routinely referenced as a defining feature of downtown Jefferson City. The method of implementing this designation within the zoning code is still being developed by staff, but could include a mix of the following strategies: - Modification of the permitted land uses within the C-3 district to include more multi -family residential options. However, the streetfront commercial character of High Street and Madison Street would need to be maintained. - Development and implementation of an overlay zoning district to establish minimum building design standards for the core downtown. - Use of PUD style zoning to pursue appropriate development or redevelopment/rehabilitation projects. - Use of traditional zoning designations in a site specific manner. (this is not ideal but could be useful) - Use of a variety of non -zoning tools, such as grant/funding opportunities, to encourage redevelopment or rehabilitation projects. Redevelopment Areas — Areas proposed for "Redevelopment Overlay" status were included in the 1996 plan, with these areas highlighted primarily because the recommended future land use differed from the current land use status at the time. The Redevelopment Overlay districts were intended to highlight areas of the City that were intended to transform to higher intensity land uses, with recommendations that redevelopment projects consist of multiple parcels of at least one and a half acres, that redevelopment conform to contemporary development standards, and that conversion of residential structures to non-residential uses be discouraged except for purposes of historical or architecturally significant structures. Staff are proposing to eliminate the redevelopment overlay designation on the 1996 map and incorporate a new redevelopment designation, targeting areas that are expected to be demolished/cleared to make way for new development opportunities. Page 5 Proposed 2020-2045 Future Land Use Map Staff present the proposed 2020-2045 Future Land Use Map for discussion and debate by the Planning and Zoning Commission, as a prelude to future presentation to the general public for public comment and discussion. In addition to presenting a general overview of the plan, staff have tracked major changes to past land use designations and plan to present the justification behind these proposed major changes to the P&Z Commission at the July 23 meeting for discussion.
