Commissioner VanScoy asked if there would be any problems with the quality of the <br /> construction. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill reported OGA would have to abide by the design <br /> framework. He did not anticipate there would be any concerns with the quality of the building <br /> construction. <br /> 5.02: Review Findings of The COR Development Plan Policy Maker Survey and Discuss <br /> Future Steps <br /> Presentation <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill presented the staff report stating purpose of this case <br /> is to review findings from the recent COR Development Plan Policy Maker Survey. The intent of <br /> this survey was to review where those involved in land use policy decisions felt the master plan <br /> for The COR should be headed. Over several recent Land Use Applications, it became evident <br /> that there were different interpretations on what the current plan indicates and where different <br /> stakeholders felt the development should be headed. The survey concept was the result of a 2015 <br /> Joint Work Session between the City Council and Planning Commission. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill provided a more refined presentation highlighting <br /> key trends focusing on the following key trends to consider: <br /> 1. Good Planning for Pedestrian Facilities. There is strong consensus that the City <br /> continues to do well on planning for adequate pedestrian facilities. <br /> 2. Good Architectural Design. Focus on good architectural design appears to continue to <br /> be a key goal. <br /> 3. Maintain Vision Area Surrounding Rail Station, With Tweaks. Vision for the <br /> downtown/station area (quarter-mile around the Northstar Station) should largely stay the <br /> same in terms of design. However, the mix between residential and commercial should be <br /> re-evaluated. <br /> 4. Evaluate the Vision for the Retail District.Vision of the northwest retail area <br /> (Sunwood and Armstrong) should be re-evaluated. While there is not a full consensus on <br /> this policy direction, there are enough responses to warrant the discussion for future <br /> consideration. Responses were nearly 50/50 to change the vision for this area. Evaluating <br /> the vision does not necessarily mean a plan change will occur. <br /> 5. Maintain the Vision for the Office District. Vision for the south east office district <br /> should largely remain the same. <br /> 6. Maintain the Vision for the Community-Oriented User. The vision for a larger <br /> community-based user in The COR should be maintained. This could range from a <br /> community center to movie theater, etc. <br /> Planning Commission/August 4, 2016 <br /> Page 4 of 7 <br />
