The <br /> intent would be to reduce the amount of surface parking where warranted and underutilized. <br /> 10. Establish Architectural Review Committee. There appears to be a desire to re-establish an <br /> Architectural Review Committee, so long as it does not slow down the review process. <br /> 11. Build Upon Existing Natural Resource Policies and Consider Additional Best Management <br /> Practices. The City appears to be doing fairly well on protecting natural resources, with some room <br /> for improvement and growth. <br /> Potential Next Steps <br /> 1. Broader Citizen Engagement?A key discussion topic in developing this survey was public <br /> involvement due to the high level of involvement in previous iterations of the plan. The City did hold <br /> a public workshop to gather ideas; however attendance was low and feedback was minimal. While <br /> this feedback provided a lot of good information, the format did not engage as many of the pubic as <br /> Staff desired. Staff would recommend using remaining City events, such as Happy Days and The <br /> Draw Event Series, to provide opportunities to submit ideas and review any potential amendments to <br /> the plan in addition to standard processes. <br /> 2. Broader Stakeholder Engagement? Similar to above, Staff would like to engage property owners <br /> impacted by the current plan and any potential amendments. Staff would like to review the results of <br /> this survey with stakeholders for feedback. Staff would present a simplified version of this survey for <br /> these stakeholders. <br /> 3. Direct the Planning Commission to develop a revised Development Plan for The COR. This step only <br /> needs to be as in depth as needed. It is possible that amendments only need to go so far to provide <br /> clarity that appears to be currently lacking in the plan. As noted previously, Staff also desires to <br /> simplify design requirements to make the document more easy for all to navigate and comprehend. <br /> Plan Amendments would also be reviewed by all City policy boards that participated in the survey. <br /> Timeframe: <br /> 1 hour <br /> Funding Source: <br /> This case is being handled as part of normal Staff duties. Staff supplemented its work by having WSB and <br /> Associates, the City's consulting planner, manage the survey input and review process. <br /> Responsible Party(ies): <br /> Community Development Director <br /> Outcome: <br /> Provide feedback on survey findings. Provide direction to Staff on the following: <br /> 1. Is additional citizen engagement desired? <br /> 2. Is an amendment to the Development Plan desired? <br /> Attachments <br /> Survey Results <br /> March 2016 Public Workshop Comments <br /> 2 of 3 8/26/2016 8:58 AM <br />
