City Downtown Master Plan
Downtown Master Plan Lead Consultant David Dixon Co-authors Urban Design Book
Long Last! Last Draft Downtown Master Plan Presentation Jan. 15 For details, see below: Please Attend! FINAL Public Meeting DRAFT MASTER PLAN PRESENTATION The much awaited draft plan for the Downtown Master Plan will be presented to the public on January 15. The consultants will present a summary of the plan, and there will be time for questions and answers. Attendees will also hear about the mediation process that occurred this fall that involved specific issues such as height, financing, design review and other issues. This will be an important night - don't miss it! After this meeting, there will be a three week comment period during which citizens can submit comments on the draft plan to the consultants. The final plan is scheduled to come before City Council in March. ABOUT THE EXTENDED PLAN The e-newsletter explained the reason for the master plan's extended schedule: Master Plan Schedule Extended A series of public meetings to gather citizen input for the plan have already been conducted. The last meeting was held on September 15. A public meeting was scheduled to review the draft plan on September 18; however, the Advisory Committee agreed to delay this meeting to ensure that the draft was of high quality and balanced in content and solutions. The Advisory Committee appointed a sub-committee to meet with a local mediator/facilitator to see if there were areas of agreement. The subcommittee met six times and reported the outcomes to the Advisory Committee and the consultants. The consultants have taken these comments along with all the public comments from the numerous public meetings and will finish the draft by early January.
