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 />
