Planning Commission Comprehensive Plan Policy Guidance for Approval or Denial In considering an application for approval or denial the Planning Commission finds that the application either complies or does not comply with the following values, principles, goals, and policies within the Rapid City Comprehensive Plan: Comprehensive Plan Conformance Core Values Chapters A Balanced Pattern of Growth BPG-1.2A Priority Infill Areas This goal prioritizes and encourages infill development in areas that have been skipped over due to property constraints, ownership patterns, or other reasons, as a means to maximize infrastructure investments and vibrancy to existing areas. The proposed rezone supports the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment, which encourages a range of medium to highdensity housing types and encourages reinvestment to add vitality to established neighborhoods. A Vibrant, Livable Community LC-2.1A The proposed rezone supports residential development with the Urban Services Boundary and maximizes available infrastructure and community amenities. A Safe, Healthy, Inclusive, and Skilled Community SHIS-3.1C Support a wide variety of public and private recreational offerings to satisfy the needs and demands of all ages and abilities of Rapid City s residents. The Rapid City Swim Center and Roosevelt Park Ice Arena are in the nearby vicinity of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment area. This location supports residential recreational and active lifestyles.
