Comment
The Area III Planning Reserve (east of US 36 and north of Jay Road) is some hundreds of acres north of Jay Road and east of US 36, but was not included on the City’s list. Opening this area up for development (e.g. the Palmos proposal) is a major land use decision, and we feel that the citizens should have a direct say via a vote. At least for the moment, it would require four body review under the BVCP for any portion of it to moved into Area II and be eligible for annexation, but that could change. The City owns a large area in the Planning Reserve that is intended to be used for a park sometime in the future. The City's parcel would be exempt from the requirement for a vote under the Initiative.
