I am Robert Zuccaro with the Planning Department for the City. Before Scott Robinson makes the presentation, I wanted to provide a background and context for this review. As you know, this is the continuance of the initial review from June and I probably should have made this introduction back then. I do want to go back a little bit and talk about background and context for how this plan was developed. I will try to keep it brief but I think it is important to define this. Some minor changes have been made since June as well, and Scott will go over those. The idea of creating the Small Area Plan comes from the City Comprehensive Plan that was updated in 2013. That plan called for the creation of these small area plans and neighborhood plans to provide more specific recommendations for areas of the City that needed a deeper review, vision, and definition of what the City's goals were. The McCaslin Blvd area that you see up on the slide is one of those areas identified. This is, in effect, an extension of that Comp Plan effort; to take a more detailed look at a very important area of the City. The Small Area Plan has a 20 year time horizon. It is intended to provide a vision and policy direction for how this area should be maintained and developed over this time. It is intended to define how the area should feel and function, insure it continues to be a desirable commercial core for the City, and continue to make significant contributions to the economic sustainability of the City. It is also important to recognize that this is not a regulatory document; this is a policy document that provides policy guidance to the City. There is a lot of follow-up that needs to take place in order to implement this plan once it is approved. It defines both public and private improvements in the area. In reality, what this can lead to are changes to the municipal code, zoning, and the creation of design regulations. These are all the types of things that are called for from the plan. It also provides guidance for City Capital Improvement Expenditures in the short, medium, and long term. These are in the plan as well and this is just guidance. Every year, Staff works with the City Manager and City Council on refining these priorities. It helps to provide guidance to developers and Staff working with developers on both private and public infrastructure that comes out of these developments and development reviews you see on a
