SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Al Heuton called the regular meeting of the City Planning
Commission to order on April 5, 2011, at 7:00 PM in the Community Room at City
Hall. Members present were Wayne Avery, Hal Bailey, Mike Cameron, Donna
DeKraai, Greg Fargen, Alan Gregg, John Sydow, and Heuton. John Gustafson
was absent. Others present were Community Development Director Mike Struck
and Planning and Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson.
Item #3 – The plat was a replat of two smaller subdivisions that included the
relocation of Front Street. Fargen inquired about Lot 2. Hanson answered that
the lot would be a parking lot. Cameron asked about an alley platted in the
block. Hanson replied that there would only be an access drive so no platting
was necessary.
Item #4 – Hanson offered two options for zoning the acreage. One option would
be to establish an I-1R District between I-29 and 32nd Avenue. This district
required additional landscaping and building setbacks than the I-1. The city’s
image would also be enhanced when viewed by interstate travelers. The
second option would be to extend the I -1R District to the east side of the
Midwest Microtek/Brookings Biotech lot.
The Commission compared the setbacks of the two districts. The I-1 District
had 20 foot setbacks on all sides while the I-1R had 60 feet front yard setbacks
and 50 foot side and rear yard setbacks. The Commission felt the additional
landscape regulations were important in this area and favored splitting the I-1R
and I-1 Districts along 32nd Avenue.
Item #5 – The Commission reviewed the data that was compiled from the south
campus questionnaire. The survey was grouped into owner-occupied responses
and non-owner-occupied responses. Residents who owned property in the
neighborhood responded at a 78% rate while tenants responded at a 25% rate.
The 11 questions covered topics that included the impact of SDSU, 6th
Street, on-street parking, and nearby businesses on the neighborhood. Opinions
were also solicited about fee-based parking programs, commercial and
apartment expansion, and one-way streets. The Commission would use the

survey data to determine if changes in land use, traffic circulation, and on-street
parking would need to be further reviewed.
Item #6 – A preliminary review of several elements in the Vision 2020
Comprehensive Plan was undertaken. Revised population projections for the
city were reviewed, and SDSU’s student population growth was discussed.
The Growth Areas Analysis Map and Future Land Use Map from the
Comprehensive Plan were provided. Revised maps would be provided at the
May meeting showing the amount of land that had been consumed over the
last ten years.
The Commission also discussed land use near the university’s south side.
Examples of development plans would be submitted in May for discussion.
Several other sections would be updated with new information. Some
sections would be revised after other data or projects were completed such as
the Brookings Area Master Transportation Study, Airport Layout Plan, and
detailed census information.
The meeting was adjourned.
