Bearman questioned what reasons lead to the revised planning process in Chapter V. Don Brauer sta*pd citizeng demands for more certainity, developers ' desire for more certainity and the City's area being more planned than at the time of the 168 Plan are the reasons behind less of a need for a PUD process. Bearman inquired if giving properties land use designations would place demands on the City to install improvements . The planner believed the upcoming Sections on Housing, Finance and Utilities would explain how improvements would b,?- handled. Mr. Brauer stated properties would be planned, -ut unzoned areas would still be required to file an application for rezoning as the proposed Land Use Plan would not grant zoning. The Commission then discussed manufactured housing, stick built housing, mobile homes and related zoning districts. Lynch felt the Land Use Alan proposed in the Update would make the Commission's job easier than it has been the past years.
