Summary At their meeting on August 17, the City Council accepted HKGi's proposal to complete Phase II of the Focused Area Study. At that time, the Council identified the EDA as the funding source for this project. The EDA is asked to confirm their participation. EDA Commissioners may recall the need for a land use plan on the west was highlighted by the property owners, including those on the west side of Highway 10, outside of the original study area. These property owners wanted clarification on how development and redevelopment in the area east of Highway 10 will impact their property, how access to their properties are maintained, and how their property values are enhanced. In response, HKGI prepared a proposal for a land use plan that attempts to address the shortcomings identified during the original east side plan. Their proposal includes: • 6 individual "stakeholder" meetings (the east side plan included 3) • 5 rounds of public meeting (with EDA/ PC/ and CC either separately or together) • 6 meetings with city staff. The proposed cost is $39,600. The final result with be one plan, covering both the east side and the west side of Highway 10. This cost reflects enhanced public meetings, in order to gather as much information from property owners as possible. Next Steps To plan for the five public meetings, it is suggested that these meetings be held the 4`'' Monday of each month, when required. There is no need to `rush through' discussion in order to meet other published schedules. Establishing a common date would help participants in scheduling. The first such meeting is tentatively scheduled for September 28t" S:\PLANNING MAIN\Projects\FAST Study Area\FAST memo to L'llA RE west side 9-1409.doc
