Process and Services <br />8. Attend as requested public review meetings conducted by the <br />Planning Commission, Town Center Review Board, Parks Commission, <br />Economic Development Authority or Council. <br />9. Attend as requested City staff meetings at which development <br />applications are reviewed. <br />Planning Process for Amendments to the City's <br />Zoning Code <br />Mr. Weber would follow this process when asked to amend the wording of a <br />portion of the Zoning or Subdivision Codes: <br />1. Meet with members of the City staff to review and understand the <br />shortcomings of the section of the Code under consideration. Discuss <br />examples of how this portion of the Code has not served the interests of <br />the City in the past, how circumstances have changed or how the <br />Comprehensive Plan dictates a revision. <br />2. Prepare draft amendment language and submit it to the Senior <br />Planner for initial review. Prepare and include explanatory graphics <br />that would be embedded in the text. <br />3. Meet with City staff to discuss the draft language, or receive comments <br />via the Internet. Use of the Track Changes and Comments feature in <br />Microsoft Word is sometimes useful in this process but it is not <br />expected that the City staff would have to write revisions in detail. <br />4. Meet with potentially affected landowners and citizens if requested by <br />City staff to hear their comments on the amendments. City staff would, <br />of course, be involved in such meetings. This element is described in <br />more detail below. <br />5. Continue to refine the wording of the amendment until the Senior <br />Planner is satisfied the draft is ready for public review. <br />6. Attend public hearings at the Planning Commission and City Council <br />as requested to explain the draft amendment and hear comments. <br />Staffing for Application Reviews and <br />Zoning Ordinance Amendments <br />All services would be performed by Mr. Weber. If necessary and requested <br />by the Senior Planner, Bill could enlist additional subconsultant help in any <br />of these disciplines: law, landscape architecture, traffic engineering, <br />graphics, geographic information systems, cultural resources or natural <br />resources. <br />5-2 Proposal to Provide City of Ramsey Planning Services <br />
