AGENDA ITEM N0. 3. Discussion of Plan revision.
• Mr. Callaway explained that staff has completed Phase I of the Update of Plan 2000
and is now ready to begin the second, and perhaps most important phase,
comprised of the Goals, Objectives and Development Policies. He explained the
information which was distributed to members included the Goals, Objectives and
Development Policies which were approved in Plan 2000 and adopted in 1983; the
preliminary draft of Goals & Objectives which staff compiled following a joint
workshop approximately one year ago between the Council and the Commission; and, a
compilation of Principles, Standards and Recommendations taken verbatum from various
sections of the adopted Plan 2000. He further explained for the benefit of the
Commissioners who were absent from the last. meeting that this was done at the request.
of the Commission. He continued to inform the Commission that staff, in response to
a request from Chairman Kaiser, is now in the process of reviewing all Development
Policies, Goals & Objectives for the purpose of making specific references to at~y
State statutes, City ordinances, engineering standards, accepted policies or
guidelines which facilitate control in those areas.
Mr. MacGilvray thanked staff for the work it has done, and suggested that any future
goals should be more specific, and be goals which can be accomplished within a
certain period of time, adding that one or two years would be an acceptable time
table. He also requested that the format of the goals, objectives and development
policies be the same format used in the plan itself so that. cross-referencing will be
easier.
Mr. Callaway stated that his plans now include preparation of a Summary of the
document entitled "Phase I" which will incorporate Goals, Objectives and Development
Policies adopted during the updating of the plan.
• Mr. MacGilvray then x-eiterated his request for a meeting to be called between the
Commission and various interest groups for dialogue exchange. Mr. Callaway stated
1
that in his opinion, one workshop should be held during which the Commission works
out a plan for soliciting citizen participation, adding that he believes that more
study and thought, should be given to the information furnished to i.he Commission
before discussion in a public hearing can begin.
AGENDA ITEM N0. 4. Other business.
Mr. Callaway informed the Commisson that the Sheraton sign, about which he had received
inquiries at the previous meeting, has now been removed through the efforts of Zoning
Official Kee and her assistant, Kim Johnson.
He then directed attention to the new schedule of P&7. Representatives for P.R.C.
mE~etings which had been handed out prior to this meeting.
Mr. Callaway finalized his business by announcing that a joint workshop between the
Parks & Recreation Board and the City Council has been scheduled for 5 P.M. on
Wednesday, March 11 during which Park Zone #3 will be discussed. He identified the
Wolf Pen Creek Flood Plain as being a part of this park zone.
Mr. Stewart thanked staff for the interesting, informative presentation made on the
Update of Plan 2000 at the last meeting. All Commissioners concurred.
AGENDA ITEM N0. 5. Adjourn.
Mr. Brochu made a motion to adjourn. Mr. Steward seconded the motion which carried
unanimously.
