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.
