For <br />reference, the adopted land development code incorporates the concept of "bonus" development, <br />which increases density and floor area ratio allowances in exchange for public benefit improvements. <br />The current comprehensive plan language does not contemplate these bonus allowances, thereby <br />creating conflicting language between the adopted comprehensive plan and land development code. <br />The primary intent of the proposed text amendments is to clarify the maximum density and intensity for <br />each land use category, for consistency with the land development code. Additional components of <br />Future Land Use Element were updated to reflect the city's current goals and vision and for consistency <br />throughout the plan. A definitions section is also added to define certain terms used throughout the <br />plan. <br />Item Number: 8.6 <br />417 <br />
