Section 1.3: Policy Questions for Future Discussion and/or Survey (City <br />Council, Advisory Boards and Commissions, Residents) <br />The intent is to frame a series of questions to send as a survey to advisory boards and City Council. The intent <br />at this stage is not necessarily to answer these questions specifically, but feedback and consensus is more than <br />welcome. <br />Land Use and Development Standards <br />1. How much vertically mixed -use buildings is too much? <br />2. How do we plan for a mix of single -use buildings on a single -block (what happens if the last user in is <br />locked in to a particular use, but doesn't want that use)? <br />3. How should the City manage parking in The COR? Should the City establish a new strategy for shared <br />parking? <br />4. How should the City define parking calculations? <br />5. The remaining westerly leg of Ramsey Parkway — should that continue to have an enhanced design <br />(green medians, enhanced plantings, etc. Similar to existing leg without one-way segments on larger <br />stormwater feature in middle)? <br />6. Do we want to continue to allow uses with a drive-thru and gas stations? <br />Building Design Standards <br />7. Are The COR sign standards still too strict? <br />8. Should the City re-establish some form of an Architectural Review Committee for The COR? <br />Land Use Sub -Areas <br />9. How flexible should Staff be in recommending boundary changes to Sub -District Boundaries? <br />10. Should the City explore or otherwise re-evaluate the vision of the north west quadrant of the <br />development (south east corner of Armstrong Boulevard and Bunker Lake Boulevard)? <br />11. The remaining undeveloped area just east of Coborn's — should that stay retail, or is Staff able to <br />entertain residential inquiries? <br />12. Should we continue to hold the area west of Center Street north of Sunwood Drive for a community <br />type use such as a Community Center or movie theater? <br />Exercise 2: What are the market realities of the plan components? (Future Step) <br />Exercise 2 will be commenced upon completion of Exercise 1 above. As of July 28, 2015, Exercise 1 has <br />commenced but had not been completed. The intent of Exercise 2 is to take the information above and begin <br />a dialogue/survey of stakeholders in The COR as well as the City's professional services groups for market <br />analysis. These market experts include, but are not limited to, the City's financial, economic development, real <br />estate brokerage, and planning firms. <br />Exercise 3: Do we need to make changes to the plan? If so, where do we go from <br />here? (Future Step) <br />The outcomes of Exercise 1 and 2 will inform the process for Exercise 3. This section will be updated as <br />needed. <br />4 <br />
