<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Downtown Redevelopment Plan Task Force <br /> <br />FROM: Heidi Steinmetz, Assistant Director of Economic Development <br /> <br />DATE: May 7, 2007 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Visioning Session 1 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />Attachment <br />Policy Assumptions, April 9, 2007 <br /> <br />Background <br />The Task Force has met six times for a total of approximately eighteen hours. Within that <br />time the Task Force has become extremely educated on issues relating to its Redevelopment <br />Study Area and has also developed the attached eleven policy assumptions based on <br />discussions held during those six meetings. <br /> <br />Preparing to “Vision” <br />It is important that the Task Force utilize their policy assumptions and mission statement as <br />a framework throughout the visioning process. The Task Force mission statement reads as <br />follows: <br /> <br />“To develop a comprehensive plan that will redefine the "greater downtown area" to <br />preserve its historical character while promoting the future viability of the community. <br />Maximum public input will be gathered to create and assess alternatives resulting in a formal <br />redevelopment plan with a combination of a master vision, working policies, specific area <br />recommendations and implementation priorities.” <br /> <br />What is “Visioning” Anyway? <br />In simple terms, visioning is closing your eyes and imagining what you would want the <br />Redevelopment Study Area to look like in ten to fifteen years. <br /> <br />In technical terms, the below American Institute of Architects’ Ten Principles for Livable <br />Communities can be used as a model when visioning: <br /> <br />1. Design on a Human Scale <br /> <br />
