Ftem #7. <br />MEMORANDUM <br />ever <br />TO: Housing and Redevelopment Authority <br />FROM: Jeremy Barnhart, Rtanning Manager <br />DATE: October 3, 2D I I <br />SUBJECT: Downtown Plan Discussion <br />City staff is preparing for the reopening of the downtown plan which was tabled in August <br />2007. Commissioners may recall that the plan was tabled pending resolution of the Highway <br />10 highway plan as it weaves through downtown. The City Council felt it important to <br />understand these changes before the plan is finalized. The Hlghway 10 plan was completed <br />in 2009. <br />In the short term, staff will: <br />1) continue to review the history of the downtown plan; <br />2) visit with the City Council to gauge their desire to reconvene the task force, and <br />provide similar updates; <br />3) ask former task force members if they are interested in serving; <br />4) develop graphics that illustrate the changes suggested bythe Hlghway 10 study; <br />5) Identify assumptions/decisions which were made, that due to the progress of time, <br />are no longer appropriate. <br />It is not staff's desire to start this planning project over; rather, to reopen the study and pick <br />up where it left off, while adapting to new information and goals developed since then. <br />Staff will continue to work directly with the City Council, but does expect at least one <br />meeting with the HRA, EDA, Planning Commission, and Park Commission. <br />N:\Departmems\Comrrn,n;tyDevelopmem\Economic Developmem\Downtown Revitalization\Memos\2011\10.03-11 JB.docx <br />
