2.2 Review Background and Demographic Data for the Comprehensive Plan <br />Update <br /> <br />Mr. Gladhill stated visual aids with demographic data has been provided for the Committee’s <br />review, including graphs and illustrations, as requested at earlier meetings. He added it will be <br />helpful to break it down into neighborhoods, which is an aspect of demographic data which is <br />currently missing. He noted this data can also be categorized using census boundaries before the <br />deadline, and data related to 6-7 specific demographic categories would be sufficient for <br />supporting the City’s policies. <br /> <br />Mr. Gladhill stated the Demographics section begins with a focus on the COR as that is where a <br />concentrated amount of development is occurring. He added, however, that does not have to be <br />the first area of focus. He noted there is some overlap between the Demographics chapter and the <br />Land Use chapter. He stressed the importance of having a history of the COR development at the <br />beginning of this document, followed by overall existing land uses. <br /> <br />Mr. Valentine asked whether rural areas could be broken out into undeveloped land ready to be <br />developed, and undeveloped land that will not be developed. He added that will help further the <br />conversation around rural land use. <br /> <br />Ms. Roering stated, in her opinion, The COR is a subset from total land use, and details regarding <br />its development should come after the main map. She added she does not think it is relevant to <br />include a dollar amount associated with development of The COR, and requested that it be <br />removed. <br /> <br />Mr. __ stated he does believe it is necessary to include the cost, or the square footage, of the COR. <br />Mr. Gladhill stated the dollar amount could be included elsewhere. He added these are broad <br />chapters, and a m ore detailed system plan can be put in place later. <br /> <br />Ms. Roering stated she supports using square footage, as other specific areas are referred to using <br />square footage. <br /> <br />Mr. ___ stated the COR has been the subject of controversy for many years, and has not progressed <br />as far as originally proposed. He added there has been significant financial investment. He noted <br />he agrees it would be inconsistent to refer specifically to costs related to the COR but not in other <br />developments areas. <br /> <br />Mr. Gladhill stated an investment document related to The Cor that was drafted by a graphic <br />designer could be included in this section. Mr. Bauer agreed, adding it should be included to <br />provide specific data related to The COR development. <br /> <br /> <br />2040 Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee / November 13, 2017 <br />Page 3 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
