Discuss Joint Planning Commission/HRA Meeting- 8/12/97 <br /> A meeting has been scheduled for August 12, 1997, at 6:30 p.m., in the <br /> Council Chambers to begin a discussion of issues regarding the Central <br /> Business District. This will be a joint meeting of the Planning <br /> 111 Commission and HRA.

The need to begin to establish some type of overall <br /> Central Business District master plan was reinforced through the <br /> Economic Development Strategic Planning process. In the Strategic <br /> Planning process, two major action steps were accepted by the City <br /> Council as part of the Strategic Plan for downtown. These two action <br /> steps were to complete a Focus Study and a Market Study of the <br /> Central Business District. <br /> It is appropriate at this first joint meeting to begin discussions of how <br /> to implement these action items as identified in the Strategic Plan. <br /> This initial joint meeting will include a presentation of the following <br /> issues and discussion of these questions: <br /> • Background information in Comprehensive Plan regarding <br /> downtown and riverwalk <br /> • Background information in Strategic Plan regarding <br /> downtown <br /> • What is the overall goal which we are trying to accomplish? <br /> • Is there a need to establish a geographic boundary for the <br /> Central Business District?
