<br />1 <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />APRIL 22, 1975 <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />conducted--by the Planning Commission. Representatives of Wiley & Wilson were <br /> <br />present and reviewed the processes by which the Plan(s) had been developed as well <br /> <br />as the more recent revisions thereto and updating thereof, pointing out that the <br /> <br />proposed 1995 Land-Use Plan does not affect the City's current Zoning Ordinance <br /> <br />but, rather, would serve as a guide to achieve future zoning goals. Principal <br /> <br />comments and/or objections were offered by the following: <br /> <br />_. <br /> <br />(1) Mr. David Hamrick, Property Manager for The Lester Group, who <br />expressed opposition to the proposed usage assigned to 500 <br />acres owned by The Lester Group, along Commonwealth Boulevard <br />and/or Northside Drive; and <br />(2) Messrs. Joseph Pritchett and William B. Muse, who questioned <br />the proposed usage assigned to a block along Fayette Street. <br /> <br />Other citizens speaking to this subject or registering by letter some concern <br /> <br />were: <br /> <br />(1) Miss Jane English, on behalf of herself and a number of other <br />citizens, who strongly urged that bicycle trails be provided <br />and included in the Plan; and <br />(2) a reported letter to City officials from the English family, <br />expressing strong opposition to the proposed route for a <br />section of the "inner loop" of the Thoroughfare Plan, with <br />Council directing that this letter be referred to the Virginia <br />Department of Highways for study and consideration. <br /> <br />At the conclusion of said public hearing and upon motion, which was duly seconded, <br /> <br />Council unanimously adopted said Comprehensive Plan and the proposed 1995 Land-Use <br /> <br />Plan, with updating thereof and revisions thereto pursuant to changes outlined by <br /> <br />"- <br /> <br />the consulting engineers, with the comments and requests pertaining to The Lester <br /> <br />Group property and the section of Fayette Street yet to be considered. Meanwhile, <br /> <br />Council went on record as being cognizant and most appreciative of the intense <br /> <br />study, interest, time and effort devoted by the Planning Commission during its <br /> <br />consideration of said Comprehensive Plan and Land-Use Plan. <br />
