This is known as the Site Selection Process. The City and Buyer shall review multiple <br />sites before selecting a preferred location. Depending on the complexity of the project, the City reserves <br />the right to take this Site Selection Process to the Planning Commission, EDA, and City Council before <br />reviewing a specific site. <br /> <br />The Buyer shall provide a site concept to be reviewed by the Planning Commission, EDA, and City <br />Council before approving a Purchase Agreement. When a single-user proposes to purchase a portion of <br />an undeveloped block or area, a series of ‘site concepts’ shall be developed before reviewing with any <br />City board or commission. These site concepts shall demonstrate at least one reasonable concept for the <br />remaining portion of the site that fits the vision and requirements of that area/district. <br /> <br />The Buyer must still complete the official Site Plan Review (and Subdivision) process after the Purchase <br />Agreement Phase. <br />History of Policy Discussion <br />This Interim Development Plan is the result of a Planning Commission initiative dating back to 2015. The <br />City has invested a significant amount of time, energy, and resources in order to ensure a MARKET <br />RELEVANT PLAN that balances COMMUNITY VISION. <br />Joint Work Sessions <br />The City Council and Planning Commission have met on multiple occasions to frame the policy question, <br />discuss strategies, and identify solutions. <br />March 26, 2015 = Joint Work Session <br />July 12, 2016 = Joint Work Session <br />January 24, 2017 = Joint Work Session <br />Surveys <br />In 2016, the City surveyed its Board and Commission Members on key topics related to The COR <br />Development Plan. <br />The key directive coming out of review of these results on July 12, 2016 was to create a forum for policy <br />makers to ask questions and receive direct feedback from developers and market experts, rather than <br />completing another market study. <br /> <br />
