define what it wants to be. When it understands that, then direction can
be given for its growth. Administratively, any community can set its own
guidelines for development. An individual McDonald's doesn't always need
to look like a corporate McDonald's, just as WalMart doesn't need to look
like WalMart. What we want to be is what we ought to demand of
development.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Regulations and Permit Process – Joel Plaskon<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></U></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
color=#993300 size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #993300">Because of
the possibility of large scale retail developments for Moscow, discussions
have begun regarding development standards and process requirements regulating
large scale retail developments. The Moscow Zoning Code currently does
not contain maximum floor area ratio (FAR) requirements, lot coverage
requirements, or maximum building square footage limits. With the
national trend toward large retail warehouse-type stores and in light of
Moscow’s growth and economic climate, it is probable that Moscow will see such
a development proposal in the future. These types of developments,
because of their large scale, have traffic, economic, and visual impacts which
may be deserving of their own development criteria. <B><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">There are two questions that I’d
ask everyone – 1) should there be separate development standards for stores
above a certain size, and 2) if development standards are a good idea they may
take a while to create, so as a stop gap measure should we modify our current
process so that a public hearing is required for every application for a
building above a certain size (one way to do this would be to require a
conditional use permit for larger buildings)? <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

includes community mentors and partners from within the community. Funding

There are modest costs associated with this program, but I am most interested
