there is appetite to consider financial tools in order to facilitate this vision. The intent would be to reduce the amount of surface parking where warranted and underutilized. 10. Establish Architectural Review Committee. There appears to be a desire to re-establish an Architectural Review Committee, so long as it does not slow down the review process. 11. Build Upon Existing Natural Resource Policies and Consider Additional Best Management Practices. The City appears to be doing fairly well on protecting natural resources, with some room for improvement and growth. Potential Next Steps 1. Broader Citizen Engagement? A key discussion topic in developing this survey was public involvement due to the high level of involvement in previous iterations of the plan. The City did hold a public workshop to gather ideas; however attendance was low and feedback was minimal. While this feedback provided a lot of good information, the format did not engage as many of the pubic as Staff desired. Staff would recommend using remaining City events, such as Happy Days and The Draw Event Series, to provide opportunities to submit ideas and review any potential amendments to the plan in addition to standard processes. 2. Broader Stakeholder Engagement? Similar to above, Staff would like to engage property owners impacted by the current plan and any potential amendments. Staff would like to review the results of this survey with stakeholders for feedback. Staff would present a simplified version of this survey for these stakeholders. 3. Direct the Planning Commission to develop a revised Development Plan for The COR. This step only needs to be as in depth as needed. It is possible that amendments only need to go so far to provide clarity that appears to be currently lacking in the plan. As noted previously, Staff also desires to simplify design requirements to make the document more easy for all to navigate and comprehend. Plan Amendments would also be reviewed by all City policy boards that participated in the survey. Timeframe: 1 hour Funding Source: This case is being handled as part of normal Staff duties. Staff supplemented its work by having WSB and Associates, the City's consulting planner, manage the survey input and review process. Responsible Party(ies): Community Development Director Outcome: Provide feedback on survey findings. Provide direction to Staff on the following: 1. Is additional citizen engagement desired? 2. Is an amendment to the Development Plan desired?
