D. PUBLIC HEARINGS:

1. Conduct the public hearing to consider the Land Use Master Plan - PZC 19-1-134

 Allison Laff, Sara Kopinski and Amy Emery, City of Naperville TED
 Department, provided a presentation on the proposed Land Use Master
 Plan Update.

 The Commission made several inquiries to staff regarding the philosophy
 and purpose of the plan, demographic data and how it relates to land use
 patterns, and how the Housing Needs Assessment (currently being
 reviewed by the Housing Advisory Commission) will be addressed. Staff
 clarified the existing Comprehensive Plan does not provide direction on
 alternative housing types, the proposed plan provides flexibility and opens
 up discussion to allow for density, where appropriate, if a variety of housing
 stock is the end goal.

 The Commission raised concern about the direction provided in the plan to
 increase density. Staff stated the existing zoning code is not altered by the
 proposed plan, the guidelines and future land use map included in the plan
 provide direction on future code amendments.



 Public Testimony:

 Mike Marek does not find the plan to be clear and has a concern about it
