Employment Center code-- Phase III (expansion into Oak Crest) We are working on scheduling input meetings with our consultant for expanding the Employment Center code. We plan to meet with businesses and residents to get an understanding of what they'd like to see in a revised zoning code and of what their concerns are. By the meeting on Thursday,we will have met with the city's economic development consultant to get the business perspective, and we plan to schedule a joint P&Z/Council work session soon (most likely after budget season is over). Neighborhood Village We have mailed letters to all owners of property within areas designated as Neighborhood Village in the Future Land Use Plan (for properties within the city limits only). At the meeting,we will share with you any responses we have received. So far,we have received only two inquiries, and I'll give you an overview of my conversations with them at the meeting. Updating the rest of the zoning code and subdivision regulations By the day of the Planning&Zoning Commission meeting, we will have had preliminary feedback from the Council on including consultant fees for an update to the rest of the zoning code that hasn't already been revised. If the consultant fees are approved,then after the next fiscal year begins, we will begin determining the consultant selection process. If the fees are not approved, we will continue as have been doing, working out new regulations for one character district at a time. IV. Notification: V. Fiscal Impact Summary: VI. Legal Impact: VII.
