The May 5, 2021 Centreville Planning Commission work session reviewed the Land Use Plan, focusing on water/sewer capacity, potential housing demand, and recommended changes to the zoning and land-use maps. Staff reported 317 EDUs available, actual gpd measurements showed "less than 200," a 20,000 gpd wet-weather reserve is held, there is potential demand for 1,113 housing units, 750,000 gallons was noted as insufficient for current zoned development, the group discussed creating a low-density "Residential Reserve" zoning and other allocation policies, and specific map/rezoning recommendations (e.g., a small tract to C-3; Centreville Park Apartments area to R-3; marshlands to Open Space/Resource Conservation; schools/churches to Institutional) were made; Mr. Jakubiak will send the presentation by email.

Discussion
a.
Comprehensive Plan Discussion
o
Mr. Jakubiak prepared a power point presentation to review and discuss the Land Use Plan during this
work session.
o
There are major tracts of land within Town that can be developed and are zoned for housing development
and yet we still have some limited capacity in our sewer system. The Town Council has placed money in
the budget to acquire another farm for land application but we still need to expand the wastewater
treatment plant ultimately to serve all the potential growth within the Town boundaries.
o
317 Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs) are available at this time. A business may require more than one
EDU.
o
Actual measurements of gallons per day (gpd) show less than 200.
o
There is a potential demand for 1,1 13 more housing units in the Town now.
o
The Town's water capacity manual provides that the Town should set aside 20,000 gpd as a reserve to
anticipate wet weather. Wet weather means a lot more water is getting into the pumps and the treatment
plant is treating rainwater rather than what it is meant to treat taking up capacity.
r
The existing undeveloped major tracts are currently zoned R- 1, R-3 and TND.
o
The allocations for water and sewer for the Town are based on a first come first serve basis. It is
conceivable that someone could come in with a subdivision right away that would take the balance of the
water sewer capacity down to zero.
o
The current Land Use Plan reflects the tract of land at the south end of Town between the current business
park and Symphony Village as Planned Business District but that is not reflected in the Zoning
Ordinance.
o
If we were looking at the ZoningMap and wanting to make changes to the Zoning Map to make it look
more like a plan, the most substantial change would be to create a new zoning category called Residential
Reserve. A Residential Reserve ZoningDistrict would be development at very low density such as one
unit per five acres, clustering housing on one part ofa property, retaining areas ofopen space until such
time that public water & sewer facilities are adequate.
o
Another option would be to not change the Land Use Plan or the Zoning Map, leave everything as it is but
-
to clarify the Town's policy on how it allocates development, the remaining allocations it has.
o
Annexation will not happen unless a developer comes in saying we want to jumpstart your infrastructure.
r ' 750,000 gallons would not be enough to cover the existing development potential as it is currently zoned.
Recommended Land Use and Zoning Map changes: small tract of land currently zoned R-3 that is
located north of the existing mini-warehouses and south of the railroad tracks should be C-3; small
portion of land where the existing Centreville Park Apartments are located is split zoned C-3 and R-3
should be completely R-3. Marshlands and parks should be zoned Open Space or Resource Conservation.
Existing parcels that currently have schools or churches should be zoned Institutional. Mr. Jakubiak will
send the power point by e-mail to the planning Commissioners.
