MEMORANDUM
April 10, 2019
TO: Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Justin Golbabai AICP, CNU-A, CFM, Planning Administrator
SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Evaluation Committee
Item:
Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding the appointment of Planning & Zoning Commission
representatives to the Comprehensive Plan Evaluation Committee.
Background:
The Comprehensive Plan Evaluation Committee (CPEC) will serve as the steering committee for the
Comprehensive Plan 10-Year review process and provide direction for the Comprehensive Plan 10-Year
Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The CPEC will serve as the steering committee for the Comprehensive
Plan 10-Year Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The Committee is expected to meet approximately 7-10
times during a 12-month period in workshop-type meetings that last approximately 2-3 hours each. They
will be expected to help leverage their networks and champion this process with the general public.
The CPEC will also make decisions related to the public outreach and participation plan, provide policy
guidance based on public input and best practices from other cities, help define land use and transportation
scenarios to be analyzed and presented to the public, and make final recommendations of the preferred land
use and transportation scenario to be included in the draft Comprehensive Plan 10-Year Evaluation and
Appraisal Report.
The City Secretary’s Office began accepting citizen applications for the CPEC on March 20th and the
application process was closed on April 15th. At the March 21st Planning & Zoning Commission Retreat,
the Commission recommended that the Comprehensive Plan Evaluation Committee (CPEC) consist of
three City Council members, three P&Z Commissioners, and approximately five citizens—including one
representative of the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). The City Council will determine the CPEC makeup
and make CPEC appointments at their April 25th meeting.
