APPROVAL OF CURRENT MEETING’S AGENDA: Approval of the agenda was unanimous. IV. APPROVAL OF PAST MONTH’S MEETING MINUTES: Approval of the agenda was unanimous. V.PUBLIC COMMENTS NOT ON THE AGENDA: None. VI. Comp-Plan review with Planning Department (Troy Russ) Troy distributed an outline of the comp plan (distributed by Andy to LSAB, attached). He indicated that council had made no changes during last month’s review. He said that the changes LSAB had suggested were made. He was now seeking endorsement for the plan, not formal action. Troy wanted to confirm that the overall content was appropriate. The next step will be the physical planning of the city. The GIS mapping will indicate areas of change and areas of stability. Planning is creating multiple neighborhood sections in the comp plan. There will be a four-day planning session in August. (He will confirm the dates and notify us.) The plan will outline different strategies for each opportunity area. This is very different than current comp plan, which essentially considers all use/design areas in the city as equal. The plan no longer looks like a legal map - because the comp plan cannot actually change zoning. So there are no parcel lines shown on future maps. The draft is no longer organized by land use but instead by neighborhoods or character zones by boundaries. Troy is talking with all with large property owners and citizens in outreach meetings. The plan will outline physical plans for city: parks, trails, transportation, etc. It will outline policies for each character zone. A cultural heritage component has been added. He suggested LSAB take each element identified in the outline (parks/rec, transportation, public infrastructure, etc.) and think of how sustainability can be integrated into each section - because sustainability is a core value of the plan. The parks and rec master plan will be transferred to this comp plan - so there will not be much work in this section. But they will obtain feedback for it in the meetings. Troy felt transportation would be a huge element for LSAB. Urban design and food security, community gardens would be in parks and rec. LSAB should address green building goals, update the International Building code. Community services reach entire operations of city.
